jimmy said that players who go to duke are sellouts and jalen nodded in agreement. i do not agree with them. jalen said duke recruits black kids only from a particular socio-econoic background...not true.

how do i agree with jalen? how were we saying the same thing. you think jalen wanted duke to recruit to black kids when we were losing like fuck without 'em? what duke hater wanted us to land nolan and watch him completely change the direction of this program with his big nigga nose and DC URREA swag? not jalen, NIGGA! you mad as fuck, doggie.

yeah, man, i admire john thompson more than all these muhfuckas. too bad he's not coaching today, when most of the elite coaches are not taking chances on ghetto ass kids.
