But, Sampson has denied the release of both of them.

If a player wants out after a coaching change, especially a player that you did not have any part in recruiting, then let them out. What good comes from that?
Sampson definitely seems like a better NBA fit in general, and his refusal to release these two players leaves one to wonder what lessons this guy learned the last time around about how to conduct himself in a manner of integrity. As you say, we aren't privy to the particulars, but come on, man. What the fuck is your problem.Laley23;1603859 wrote:I dont want to pass judgement without knowing...but...
Sampson will do whatever it takes to win. What he did at Indiana proves that. Look at the characters he had on the team (not even taking into consideration the illegal phone calls and texts). He overlooks drug use and academics to win. Maybe he will change since his time at IU, but more than likely he wont. The NBA was best for him, where there are no rules and its only basketball you have to worry about in regards to your teams personal life.
He may end up there if he doesnt eventually get his release. They are both, from what I understand, going through the appeal process (or whatever it is called in these situations)...Azubuike24;1604112 wrote:I'm not sure why Thomas wouldn't just go to the NBA...
I'd rather take my chances as a future pro doing that than staying somewhere I don't want to be and playing for a coach who wouldn't let me leave.
Originally it was reported that Jabari would announce today, but that changed to Thursday or Friday a couple of days ago. He and Rodney have most likely been waiting until after the annual Duke banquet (which occurred tonight) to make their decisions public. My guess is that there will be a joint presser in the next couple of days explaining how hard the decision was to turn pro.Laley23;1605897 wrote:When the hell is this dude Parker announcing??
Lol, someone should have made that public. National media was waiting all day for it to break. Twitter was waiting, ESPN Radio kept reporting that it would happen today, etc.reclegend22;1605962 wrote:Originally it was reported that Jabari would announce today, but that changed to Thursday or Friday a couple of days ago.

As a college basketball fan, it's great see that the decision has been so difficult for these guys -- the spirit of our game is still alive, if only barely -- but the right decision is to leave. No doubt about it, especially for Parker.
This is one hell of a hopeful reverse jinx, lol.reclegend22;1605962 wrote:Originally it was reported that Jabari would announce today, but that changed to Thursday or Friday a couple of days ago.

Lol. Guess they should've checked out the Jabari Decision Thread on Duke's scout board. The moderators even updated the thread title to account for the change in announcement to Thursday or Friday, haha. I figured if there wasn't an announcement at the banquet that it would happen later in the week anyhow.Laley23;1605997 wrote:Lol, someone should have made that public.

Even my Duke co-workers were freaked out that they couldnt find any information, and some of them live a mile away from him!! lol

Off topic, but does anyone listen to DP in the mornings? Great show/radio
I have to agree. M&M talk more about their book signings and talk show appearances than they do sports...they've gotten too 'commercialized', imo.SportsAndLady;1606066 wrote:I like their show. A lot better than mike and mike anymore.
