Not disagreeing with you, but is there really a guard left yet in the portal that would be worth pursuing (or that would show strong interest in us) that could supply what AJG does? We already have Williams, Gabe, Holmes, Grill, King, Lipsey. Unless he was a game changer, not sure we would be interested in anyone to using up the scholarship is all I'm wondering.
I really don’t think getting a jump start on a grad degree of higher quality is going to be a factor. Unless he has no interest in playing overseas he’s most likely a lock to make great money for years playing. Credits have a shelf life.
Average Duke MBA grads make $136k three months after the graduation. That’s really good, but unless he’s out of basketball in several years, including overseas, it’s going to be irrelevant.
We quit
I am not happy about this. Poor decision in my opinion - which means almost nothing.
Yep.
This is a basketball decision. These aren’t regular students and this certainly isn’t a regular grad student situation.
If there comes a time AJ wants to try his hand in the non basketball world, he’ll have no problem getting accepted to Duke or anywhere, but such a degree not as likely to be needed as it is for Average Joe. There’s also a chance he’d want better than Duke.
You think he’d actually finish? Most grad degrees are 2 years
Also, let’s say he actually wants a grad degree at some point. Doesn’t the ‘quality’ of that degree depend on what you want to do after sports? Maybe Duke doesn’t offer a grad degree in what he is looking for. Or, although hard/impossible to believe for some of you, ISU offers him more opportunities in his chosen studies and/or where he wants to live.
Living in St Louis, employers here (specifically attorney employers) prefer graduates from Mizzou over east coast power schools. Why? Because the education / preparation is similar and Mizzou grads are more likely to stick around in Missouri.

Got out before we were kicked out. The AAU isn't all it is pumped up to be and it is difficult for a school with a heavy Ag lean and no medical school to stay in it.
I've always thought it was tough to compare incomes straight up when talking midwest and the coasts. Many times, the wages will equal out after a couple years anyhow.
Easy with the UNI hate. While there are a lot of UNI/Iowa fans (which is presumably where the hate comes from), there are many ISU/UNI fans too. I'm a ISU/UNI fan. I very much want AJ to be in Ames.
Can we keep the AAU whining out of this thread? Most people don't give a **** about it, let alone athletes.
I'm guessing Duke doesn't have to do much negative recruiting. Unless it's against UNC or Kentucky.
AJ just needs to keep this in mind... except for Ken Jeong and Grant Hill, every single person that's gone to Duke is a jerk.
No. I'm not generalizing.

JJ Reddick has become kind of awesome. His podcast is great.
Shhhh. I don't want to hear that kind of reasonableness when I make a point of being petty and jealous.
