I'm looking forward to Cam Reddish coming out of nowhere and dropping insane numbers. He's the number three recruit and people seem to forget he exists sometimes, which is crazy.
Tre Jones need to do what he did in that Kentucky game. 6 assist and 0 turnovers. That was impressive for a freshman. If he does that every game. Good luck beating Duke this year.
Not that this is breaking news, but Cam and Tre getting ignored by most media outlets only further illustrates how ridiculously talented this group is. Tre could be better than Tyus, and looking ahead 10 years, Cam could be the best NBA player out of anyone in college right now. If the supporting cast is just average by Duke standards for role players, this team wins it all. This team has 3 absolute superstars and another star that could be a top 5 team’s go-to guy.
Yup, and I think this is the deepest duke team in a while. Alex O’Connell and Jack white are very good players plus the likes of bolden, goldwire, delaurier... this team is scary
He does what he's always done, which is recruit the top players regardless of how long they plan on staying. He doesn't embrace his team being a mere stepping stone like Cal does, he just knows that's how it has to be until they change the stupid rule.
Jack did everything you ask for, played great defense as one of the better defendere, showed to be one of the best rebounders with them instants, and even got a few drives and layups, quietly almost got a double double one bucket away, i think jack is one of the most important pieces on this group going on his appearance on the court is beneficial with how hard he works
I can’t believe people don’t notice Tre. He’s literally part of what made the recruiting class unbelievable. I mean he was the top point guard in his class.
Also tre is one of the 2 leaders on the court he sets up everyone elses play and heightens it, also the best defender of the recruits dude was a triple double star in high school and functions this duke team,.most important guy on the sqaud
JADEN hebbeler Darius is nice. I was never really that high on Ashton or Immanuel though. JQ is better than them both imo but not as good Tre or Darius
I almost only exclusively watch NBA YT basketball videos (vs. NCAA) so I have not watched any of The Dime Drop's videos until now, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the video and analysis. The Dime Drop's quality certainly rivals that of the best NBA YT content creators.
People saying Cam Reddish is underrated and that people forget he exists......how about the no. 1 point guard recruit on this squad too who recruited this entire team
Great analysis! The Cam Reddish Joe Johnson comp is very good and I’m glad you highlighted his left handed take, that was low key one of the more impressive buckets of the game
This team is insane. Still think Barrett is The best of the three. Been enjoying your content on the ringer but glad to see you posting once again on the main channel!
Yo, someone needs to start a petition to get you credentials to every game wherever you want, your channel is better than half of ESPN and TNTs coverage
You’re back man! Congrats on the ringer gig!! I legit commented that they need to hire you and even tweeted at them maybe 2 months ago. I hope for even more success for you in the future! Also would love more Duke trio content in the future. Those are some bad boys
Good sir I have no idea how I'm just finding out about your channel but liked and subscribed bcuz of great content... also awesome job with the "sweet memories" instrumental kweli on dis one
Zion is like a mixture of Blake Griffin and Andre Iguodala, with Shaq's physical gifts (obviously not in terms of mass, but just being one of those once in a gen type of physical specimens.)
Talented group of young men!!! Cam & White are the silent killers!!! Any can drop 30 at any time!!! Stick with Coach k's system. They're already stars!!!
In six years RJ is going to be a top 5 player in the league. Zion is going to be a very nice player but i think RJ will be chasing greatness. I dont know just my opinion
How do people keep glazing over Zion's shot? He has a high release, even and good rotation. He has done his homework and is very promising for being consistent.
I like the review. I bleed Duke Blue, but given the hype all other outlets are giving to just one game, the analysis was tempered, balanced and insightful. I really enjoyed and glad I didn't skip the auto play.
This is the best recruiting class ever, and yes that includes the Fab Five and the 2012 Kentucky team with AD and Kidd-Gilchrist. I would even go so far as to say that Zion and Barrett would have been the best 2 players on the Fab Five. And they were AWESOME!!!
If I were coaching, I would hate this game right out of the chute. Kentucky had to know these guys are really good, but how do you prepare for incredible? Somebody will figure out how to defend Duke and slow them down, but what Duke will do as a counter punch will determine how good they will be.
Another great video kyle. As much as it pains me to watch it. I will say, the thing that frustrates me the most is Calipari's prep on offense. He seems so stubborn to stick to his dribble drive motion, which really is coachspeak for, dribble handoff on the perimeter, drive it into a double team and get the ball on the rim. This works when you have an elite weakside springy cleanup guy (looking at you nick richards). He refuses to acknowledge that the 3 is a valuable shot to open up the offense. Seems as though every 3 Kentucky takes is a poor one. Fans called for Cal to recruit more multi-year role players, they were tired of having their star players crapping the bed by relying on their athleticism. Well here is what you get with multi-year talent first lotto picks. Coach K is a far better X/O coach than Cal and he's showing what he can do with elite talent. College basketball's saving grace is that Coach K's is defense never touches the level of his offense. Duke will continually outscore teams until they see someone who understands how to defend as a team...I hope.
@@thedimedrop8153 I don't think that he would fail but I just still think that centers should be tall. As a 3 he could beat people off the dribble and pass the ball as well as he does. I think that he would have limited opportunities to do that as a small ball five. And I don't that it would work as well against NBA seven footers... especially on the defensive end.
Listeroman I think that would work better at the 4 because of how much more he weighs than RJ and Cam who I wouldn’t want at the four and he weighs more than probably almost every other PF in college
I wouldn't mind testing it out and seeing coach k put zion at the 5 in a game start, and put or let alex oconnol start at the 2, and see what happens at a small ball lineup also to up the shooting and playmaking, i believe alex oconnol would be a good starter at times, and zion would be fine at the 5
No 5 can stay with him off the dribble from the elbow. And he is 280, the strongest kid in college so in the post it's also a problem for opposing 5s. I see no issues with SB 5.
great video, very informative and entertaining ive been a duke fan for a long time so this question is a serious one, who is truly gonna be able to stop them? name the schools please i want to scout
I admit of being just as shell shocked as the UK players after this one. If they don't win title and go undefeated I will be amazed. Cats look much better in the Bahamas which I find strange. Basically, K is beating Cal at his own game (one and done). I wonder what happened because Williamson was listed at 90% chance to cone to UK and Duke wasn't even on short list... ? 😠
As a huge Kentucky fan I've been saying this for the last few years. Coach Cal CAN NOT COACH!!! He's just good at getting top talent to come play for him. He needs to stop worrying about where these prospects are ranked and actually recruit kids that know how to play defense and play as a team as well as just having that Killer instinct. Rick Pitino did so much more during his short tenure at Kentucky with much less talent as far as national rankings go. Heck even Tubby Smith did a real good job with 2 and 3 stars and the occasional 4 star recruit. In my opinion coach Cal is definitely on the Hot seat. He just does not know how to coach at all! We've had way to many all star like teams for us to only have had won one national championship since he's been in Lexington. He's extremely lucky that Anthony Davis came to Kentucky or else he would have already been fired.
Not this year, but usually, what Cal does do well is coach defense. That being said, his offensive schemes are poor, he can't make coaching adjustments for shit. The DDMO is now outdated. Basketball has changed on him and his old system will not continue to work. He needs to adopt using the 3 point shots. Honestly, he's an average X/O coach, but if we had another coach, we wouldn't get the players we do, and thus our results would be about the same. At this point, i'd rather have the Coach that has a chance to bring in top 10 talent because at least we will get some players. The best thing UK can do is get rid of Tony Barbee, maybe Joel Justus, and bring in Jalen Rose, and Orlando Antigua as assistant coaches. Both those guys can recruit.
*_Zion Williamson needs to fulfill his potential of being Lebron James O’Neal with a 75inch vertical_*
But is he a Stephen Curry with a 40inch vertical tho
Some One 愛 zions vertical is 41 inches.
I'm looking forward to Cam Reddish coming out of nowhere and dropping insane numbers. He's the number three recruit and people seem to forget he exists sometimes, which is crazy.
Jack English he’s the X factor for that team
He's gonna average a sneaky 20
Jack English him and Trey both.
@@SkitsByChris Tre doesn't need to score 20 ppg for this Duke team to win it all. That's what makes them so scary.
Tre Jones need to do what he did in that Kentucky game. 6 assist and 0 turnovers. That was impressive for a freshman. If he does that every game. Good luck beating Duke this year.
Not that this is breaking news, but Cam and Tre getting ignored by most media outlets only further illustrates how ridiculously talented this group is.

Kirby F exactly cam has the potential to be the best out of this class
Yup, and I think this is the deepest duke team in a while. Alex O’Connell and Jack white are very good players plus the likes of bolden, goldwire, delaurier... this team is scary
Ryan O'Connell I’d rather have baker play than goldwire tbh he isn’t very productive other than maybe making 1 three a game
Kirby F I think Tre will be better than Tyus. Tre just has it, idk how to explain it
@@nirvana4230 Put some respect on Tyus. That's the Final four MVP we are talking about here. Love Tre but let's not go there just yet
Zion
28 points
11 - 13
23 minutes
I remember a year ago this time people refused to buy in. I should have went to Vegas then...
Coach K stole Cal's system, perfected it, then whooped his ass on national television. GOAT
Best comment ever on a basketball vid
Kentucky fan and your exactly right
Dude, you're my hero. I've said similar things like this but your word play was Savage AF. 💪💪💪
This made me laugh out loud. #HereComesDuke
He does what he's always done, which is recruit the top players regardless of how long they plan on staying. He doesn't embrace his team being a mere stepping stone like Cal does, he just knows that's how it has to be until they change the stupid rule.
Everytime you drop a video I reach the enlightenment needed to transfer into the after life
Jack White went soooo under apreciated that game. Dude was killing it with bread and butter stuff
Jack did everything you ask for, played great defense as one of the better defendere, showed to be one of the best rebounders with them instants, and even got a few drives and layups, quietly almost got a double double one bucket away, i think jack is one of the most important pieces on this group going on his appearance on the court is beneficial with how hard he works
Jack is someone who completely buys into his role and duke culture, hes going to bring a lot of energy and hustle every night
I can’t believe people don’t notice Tre. He’s literally part of what made the recruiting class unbelievable. I mean he was the top point guard in his class.
He also orchestrated the commitment of all 3
Also tre is one of the 2 leaders on the court he sets up everyone elses play and heightens it, also the best defender of the recruits dude was a triple double star in high school and functions this duke team,.most important guy on the sqaud
They don't notice him cause not anything special . he dosent have superstar potential either.
There's literally no point guard in this class that's elite . very weak draft in terms of point guard this year
JADEN hebbeler Darius is nice. I was never really that high on Ashton or Immanuel though. JQ is better than them both imo but not as good Tre or Darius
College ball is back, Dime Drop is back. Life is good. Looking forward to when my Ducks force you to make a video about them at some point. Cheers.

I was feeling like Dave Chappelles junkie character "ya'll got any more of that dime drop"😂
Great analysis! The Cam Reddish Joe Johnson comp is very good and I’m glad you highlighted his left handed take, that was low key one of the more impressive buckets of the game
This team is insane. Still think Barrett is The best of the three. Been enjoying your content on the ringer but glad to see you posting once again on the main channel!
As a Kentucky fan, enough time has passed where I can now watch this video
Took ya quite a while
one of my favorite basketball CZcams channels out there good to see you doing big things on The Ringer!
Yo, someone needs to start a petition to get you credentials to every game wherever you want, your channel is better than half of ESPN and TNTs coverage
That was most well thought out video I’ve seen on this game and I agree whole hearted.
Glad to see the channel has grown!
I'm glad to see you back!!! Great video bruh
The references and jokes you make always get me 😂😂😂 keep it up man! Your videos are a joy to watch!
these videos are just too great
You’re back man! Congrats on the ringer gig!! I legit commented that they need to hire you and even tweeted at them maybe 2 months ago. I hope for even more success for you in the future!
Also would love more Duke trio content in the future. Those are some bad boys
Totally agree, and love your videos. Funny, to the point, and always make sense.
So glad you're still updating this channel alongside the Ringer work
being a kentucky fan i would’ve loved to play them again in the tournament since kentucky got so much better as the year progressed.
BRUUUUH YOU’RE CONTENT IS SICKKKK!
I grew up in communities hating Duke but wooo-wee everybody watchin' and havin' a good time rn. This team is redunkulous.
Just discovered your channel, great content and production!
Love your takes! Dime drop for life
WHAT UP BIG FELLA
That King Bob Omb reference killed me... props man
Reflection eternal as background music? Dope ass production values right there 👌
Good sir I have no idea how I'm just finding out about your channel but liked and subscribed bcuz of great content... also awesome job with the "sweet memories" instrumental kweli on dis one
I remember predicting a duke win in one of your earlier videos; however, I didn’t expect to witness a grown kicking the shit out of a elderly duck.
Its about time
Great year to be a Duke Blue Devil !
as a kentucky fan i cannot deny this
GOD DAMN IT I WAS STILL WATCHING THE OFFICE I DIDN’T KNOW TOBY LEFT THE OFFICE
Missed ya! Good to see another video
You make the best videos bro
Zion is like a mixture of Blake Griffin and Andre Iguodala, with Shaq's physical gifts (obviously not in terms of mass, but just being one of those once in a gen type of physical specimens.)
If Cal can’t land top 5 talent (hasn’t since Skal who was a BUST) he’s not going to win using one and dones, pretty simple.
Mr. J de’aaron fox?
Rivals rankings he was 6th
@@PowderKegel they also had bam adebayo that year, he was nr 5...
True
Lowend Theory he was 7th according to rivals
GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK
Just D Nation making a statement. Go Duke!
Talented group of young men!!! Cam & White are the silent killers!!! Any can drop 30 at any time!!! Stick with Coach k's system. They're already stars!!!
And he’s back
Welcome back my guy!
I feel like this what would of happened if a NBA team played a NCAA team. Absolute domination from Duke.
Been waiting, it was worth it
In six years RJ is going to be a top 5 player in the league. Zion is going to be a very nice player but i think RJ will be chasing greatness. I dont know just my opinion
Hugh Leigh Both are gonna be chasing greatness, along with Cam
Canadian hater
If he can get on a good team.
Duke might not lose a game this year
theres gonna be a close game against vanderbilt and north carolina
kendrickmills41 lmao they will lose around 4-6
whoops
Yikes
you are 100% correct
Duke gang whole Lotta gang shit!!
Completely agree with the fact that Zion is the best athlete in basketball... so many people overlook all the doors this opens to his game.
Also Duke’s bench 👀👀👀👀
How do people keep glazing over Zion's shot? He has a high release, even and good rotation. He has done his homework and is very promising for being consistent.
He has risen from the dead
The Dime Drop I know man I watch your stuff and I always listen to the Ringer NBA pod
He’s back!!!
kentucky was a powerhouse and duke embarrased them.... wow
Adam Leon Kentucky is always bad at the beginning of the season just wait till March
Like I said after that first exhibition game: Zion is THE guy. Generational talent. When you know, you know.
Hey Kyle welcome back! Great video, one question though, where's your editor?
The rebound @7:17
I like the review. I bleed Duke Blue, but given the hype all other outlets are giving to just one game, the analysis was tempered, balanced and insightful. I really enjoyed and glad I didn't skip the auto play.
the comeback
This is the best recruiting class ever, and yes that includes the Fab Five and the 2012 Kentucky team with AD and Kidd-Gilchrist. I would even go so far as to say that Zion and Barrett would have been the best 2 players on the Fab Five. And they were AWESOME!!!
YAAASSS
I think RJ could potentially be player of the year. If not ACC at best
Finally you’re back!! Where you been man?
If I were coaching, I would hate this game right out of the chute. Kentucky had to know these guys are really good, but how do you prepare for incredible? Somebody will figure out how to defend Duke and slow them down, but what Duke will do as a counter punch will determine how good they will be.

Cam=RJ>Zion. They have options guys, it’s hard to stop them.
If a team can destroy a player its sure is knicks... Feel bad for you RJ..
Ur videos are so good
Kentucky will beat them next game you guys watch
I read Duke as dude and Kentucky as Kennedy
Glad to see you post another video, wish the game would have been flipped and UK dominates Duke
Subbed
Great video
I hope they won't play Zion as a small ball five...Slashing-playmaking small forward is the right position for him IMO.

@@thedimedrop8153 yea you are right i cant forget UNC have Nassir and Luke May and Romeo is a beast so i agree

Everyone is losing their fucking mind over one.
Are you going to do more “The Leap” episodes?
I’d like hear you talk about duke upperclassman
I admit of being just as shell shocked as the UK players after this one. If they don't win title and go undefeated I will be amazed. Cats look much better in the Bahamas which I find strange.
