- 2019 Point guard Boogie Ellis announced on Wednesday that he's decommitted from Duke and it instantly opened the door for other schools to get involved and land an extremely talented guard who can shoot lights out from the three and is dangerous in transition. Rivals.com caught up with Ellis at practice for the Ball Is Life All American game to get the latest on a timeline for a commitment, potential new schools getting involved and what his next steps will be in the coming weeks.
Respect for being honest and upfront. Hope he does well wherever he goes
As a duke fan I ain't even mad just promise me one thing boogie
Ball out 💪💪💪🕺😈😎
@24savage I'm the prime Josh Norman homie 😂
He’s now a tiger
I respect the decision, but I feel comfortable in saying that everyone knew Tre wasn't entering the draft. And also, everyone knew Boogie Ellis couldn't win the starting PG job over Tre or the starting SG job over Cassius.
he knew, but he just really wanted to play at duke and get coached by the legend himself coach K, when Boogie committed to duke, duke didn't even offer Cassius at the time so boogie thought him and tre could be the backcourt. With Cassius committing there just a couple weeks ago and realizing that boogie would have to share minutes with Tre, Cassius, Goldwire and O'connell he wasn't gonna get the minutes he wanted and probably wasn't gonna get NBA attention that he wanted after his first year.

lante07 ehh, Tre Jones was projected late first round pick. So yes he wasn’t projected top 10 or anything like that. But most freshman that have the first round option usually go. So I bet he thought Tre was going, after all tre was the top point guard in his class and a top 10 overall recruit. Boogie was moreso worried Tre and Cassius would take minutes he wanted. I think those three would have been dominant, but obviously none of them want to be the “odd man out.”
@@kaiojohnson3240 no bro he said in the interview tre was the reason he left not Cassius which is dumb cause he in my opinion boogie is a better scorer so he would fit perfectly next to tre who dont score as well but can facilitate and play defense
@@kaiojohnson3240 R U Related To Teyo "Yayo" Johnson?
I'm a duke fan and this seems like a great kid wish we could have him but understand where he is coming from and wish him the best
Memphis bound now... totally respect him and understand his move
No yall getting rj and quinones boogie staying west for college
Welcome to Memphis!!!!! #GTG!!!!!! 🐅🐅🐅
I thought he picked Duke because of the brotherhood. Are you telling me that's all BS?
smyzo yep. straight bullshit
He wants to be One and Done. Can’t do that if he’s the backup
@@youngkoolaidthelegend2020 All Lies, Deans Mores!
You could've possibly took Tre's spot. If you balled out. Let the best man win! Tre needs to develop a jumper but his court vision and on ball d is elite. What were you affraid of? Not starting? You would've got burn. Shine bright Boogie.
youngarmyant you know dam well he wont play
@@manny_torres_7 🤣 they are guard heavy!
@@manny_torres_7 he could of if he worked hard but he wants it handed to him
Memphis!!!
Give LSU a look young man. The food is great , the people are nice and you're gonna have all the opportunity in the world to prove you can play point with Tremont Waters going to the NBA.
Aquarius Johnson they have Javonte Smart
@@gillokonkwo791 Naw i think half of the team entering the draft. Especially Smart, being that his name is involved in the wiretap scandal, he couldn't stay even if he wanted to.
Javonte Smart ain't coming back, if he does he loses eligibility...so he coming back the bayou. also keith smart is his uncle might sneak him a invite.
As a Duke fan props for being real and following your heart. Good luck not like you'll need it
It's amazing to me, even with all the resources and Internet access, these kids still seem to have such a cliche mindset. In college ball, 2 PG lineups are wildly successful... Darren Collison played alongside Russell Westbrook, Jrue Holiday played with Collison, Terry Rozier played with Chris Jones, Eric Bledsoe played with John Wall, Russ Smith won a ship playing with Peyton Siva, Tyus Jones won a ship playing with Quinn Cook, Shabazz Napier won a ship playing with Ryan Boatright, Jalen Brunson won a ship playing with Ryan Arcidiacono, etc, etc. Having a non ball dominant guard like Tre Jones to help handle the ball and defend would've only helped Boogie's development, not hurt it. Smh
You must have forgot that Cassius was recruited by Duke also its not like Jones is the only guard there.. Boogie would have to fight for pt with Cassius cause there's no way they will sit Jones now that he's a sophomore
@@joestuehmer7967 boogie could beat Cassius out easily if he worked for it but he dont got no heart
Joe Stuehmer That's fine, players fight for PT... It's not like Boogie is an elite level NBA prospect, he projects to be in college for multiple years. The point is, boogie cites the presence of Tre Jones as his deterrent to Duke, not Cassius. I happen to think he would've played just as much as Cassius, if not more due to his shooting/scoring capabilities. I still maintain that citing another PG as an issue is silly on the college level, especially when the other PG isn't ball dominant and struggles to score, an area where you excel. Facts are Boogie and Tre compliment each other well. If Boogie and RJ Hampton both end up going to Memphis (which is rumored), the same issue of another PG is present yet the fit won't be as good. 🤷♂️
lil tre I would have to agree Boogie had a great chance of winning minutes, due to being the only real scoring threat from the guard position at Duke.
^Did you not see the interview? lol he clearly said he wants to run the team not be a spot up shooter.. He wants to play the point and the only reason he is leaving is cause Jones is coming back
As a UNC fan I don't think it's going to be a big loss, he's saying he wants to score and pass and run a team, but he can't run a team anywhere he goes... he could have done everything that he needed to at that program in Durham... I'm confused on what he is thinking... Oh well, Let's Go Tar Heels...
You Ever Ran From The Po-Lease?
A year behind Trey Jones would have been great for this kid. And I'm a TarHeel...
Kids don’t want no competition now a days smh that’s sad he knew he couldn’t beat bro out for that starting job 😂😂😂
As someone who’s had more experience and is better built why would coach k give boogie the starting job. He already has 4 other star recruits he has to find minutes for
Tre was gone start regardless
he signed his papers when everyone thought tre was going to the nba. he wants the ball in his hands, that’s why he left.
RetroTV1 seniority
Your dumb, so dumb it hurts to think about you made it to 2019. Everybody player wants to start in college so they can show out and play their best not ride the bench. I understand fighting for position but colleges like to put experienced players out on the floor more than freshmen unless the returning player is just crap and tre is no scrub just he just needs to work on shooting more.
tre jones is staying, if he would've stayed he would've been a tre duval. smart move
I agree
No the same situation Duval wasn't NBA ready and played bad in his lone season and didn't play with another pg alongside him
Y’all understand this slow ass nigga? 🤣
@@aaronaaron5286 duval was fucking garbage.
Mix Match #PVM i had one word misspelled stop gassing lmao.
Boogie Man Should Go To SDSU. He Can Take The Place Of Devin James Watson III. He'd Be A Star There From The Start.
yea he not going there his family and agent thinks his a star and one and done and he thinks he is too
@@mkingadiffernce Yeah, I Don't Think He's That G00D! He's Not A One And Done. That's For Sure. If He Were Realistic About His Ability And Potential To Play In The NBA (Neither As Great As He Thinks) He'd Go To A School That Would Develop Him Psychologically, Physically, And Skill Wise For The Next 2-3 Years. Self-Deception On His Part And Delusion On The Part Of Those In His Inner Circle Have Led Him To Believe That He's Better Than He Is And Has A Better Chance To Make It To The NBA Than He Does. This Deception And Delusion Will Also Lead Him To Go To The Wrong School!
@@mkingadiffernce OH, NO, He Made A G00D Choice! Now He'll Be Playing Under The Guidance Of Anphernee Hardathataway!

Being scared of competition isn't a good sign for the future.
Naw, I don't think that's a fair assessment...He wanna run point and Tre Jones is in that spot. So why not go somewhere were he can. If him and Tre came in together, I think you would have a point, but that's not the case.
@@TheBsheep So, you're saying Tre can run the point better? That's why he's scared. Marquis Bolden has been there 3 years, had to play behind Marvin Bagley and Zion. But Marquis isn't scared.
@@christschool Right! And as a result, look how long it's taking Marquis to get NBA ready. He came in as an All American and he's still there, that's a rarity in this day and age. I think Boogie didn't wanna fall into the same category.
He Lost Of A Lot Of Games His Senior Year Of High School. That Doesn't Bode Well For Him.
TheBsheep why not wait a year than take the starting point role and actually be able to get drafted nigga overseas now
Jamal and them brothers will take care of you up here in Seattle. All we need is a PG of your caliber and Jaden McDaniels to wrap up the PAC-12 title.
Tiger nation 🐯🐯🐅🐅
Seems like a very good shooter, could be top 5 for next year.
He is scared of Competition if you are good it doesn't matter were u go
Fuck him. He'll have a major injury probably. And he's not even worthy of wearing our jersey. He'll probably end up at shitty unc.
No he’s just doing what’s best for him regardless of the big name program. Why got to a big school and come off the bench mainly due to seniority rather than go to another relatively good school and start?
@@eski_truv Exactly, I agree with you. I actually wish more kids would consider this option instead of piling up on a "big name" school, where they'll get no playing time.
@@TheBsheep I Gets No Time After Time!
Eternal Darkness Bro chill he if I was him I’d do the same. Either way there’s only so many minutes to go around
Come to Cincinnati we have one guard on the roster
He's the real deal.
Good Luck Boogie...hate you missed out on the Brotherhood !
Go to Michigan!
If he goes to duke and shows that he’s better than tre Jones he’ll start big red flag for schools and nba scouts don’t want competition just wants starting position handed too him doesn’t want to have to earn it
That I agree. If you are better, then you are better and it is your job. Hell Tre cannot shoot the ball. He knew Tre was coming back.
Your dumb, so dumb it hurts to think about you made it to 2019. Everybody player wants to start in college so they can show out and play their best not fight and ride the bench. I understand fighting for position but colleges like to put experienced players out on the floor more than freshmen unless the returning player is just crap and tre is no scrub just he just needs to work on shooting more.
Great move for him. He’s a 4 star prospect. Knew from the jump he would prob be a 4 year player if he was to stay at duke.. only way to get better is by learning from your mistakes. So having the ball will be his best bet. Just hope he picks the right school.
memphis could have the most lethal rotation if rj nd boogie go
So let me get this straight so you saying he would want to play with rj another pg after just saying he decommitted because a pg returned Memphis makes no sense for boogie
@@aaronaaron5286 rj can play the 2
@@jeremiahwilliams7932 he still playing alongside with another guard which he just said was his reasoning on why he decommitted so why would he do that at Memphis
@@aaronaaron5286 a that could be a great young team
@@jeremiahwilliams7932 Naw it won't work. We will get one or the other but not both. RJ dad has vocally stated that RJ will have the ball in his hands. Boogie demands the same thing, so I doubt if he comes knowing that RJ will be on the roster.
please michigan 🙏🏻
Why doesn't he want to compete and earn his spot that what makes you better kids nowadays think they are entitled to stuff
lil tre Ik and Tre would’ve made his dumbass better if anything
Jones will be getting all the pt.. I would decommit if I was him too he has the chance to make multiple millions next year and if he goes to Duke and rides the bench he will miss out on that. Its not even worth it these kids only got one chance to make the league
@@joestuehmer7967 you act like he dont got 4 years of eligibility not everyone is good enough to one and done and boogie is one of them and tre would of taught him how to play defense
We'll see about this next year you probably were one of those dumb people calling Trae Young a bust after a few summer league games and now he was killing the top teams in the league haha.. Stop judging players too soon man u'll only make a fool outta yourself once they prove you wrong
@@joestuehmer7967 never called trae a bust
Come to UW
I'm On My Way!
Smart move Duke already has its backcourt solified. He saw the writing on the wall once Stanley signed. I dont blame this kid why go to Duke and catch splinters like a David Robinson’s son when you can go somewhere else and play. He will be the man somewhere else.
Yes, At SDSU! He Will Become A MAN!
First off David Robinson son came in as a walk on so not the same situation second of all tre cant score as well so boogie and tre could of complemented each other well cause tre good passer and a defender while boogie the scorer

@@chuckjacobs3239 When did we get Quade? He's a true PG.
@@thankyou8417
last year.. yu know ncaa rules make yu sit out a year. he lefted Kentucky once Hagans,quickley came aboard
You want to prove you're better than the next man, how to do that is going up against another elite player like Jones. Like the old saying "to be the best you challenge the best". What better way to do that is on the same team. Good luck where ever you end up Boogie. 🖒
Facts players are too soft nowadays they dont want to work hard
I remember Trae Young killed Tre Jones in that Peach Jam tourney in high school lmfaooo even if he makes the league he will be a role player at best
Cmon dawg!!
I'm Not A Dog. I'm A Dinosaur!
Uh...Boogie Ellis should sign with the Aztecs of San Diego State 🏀
he should sign at the University of Phoenix
UCLA
Get ur ass to Memphis now if you wanna have a shot at winning it all bro
Do wats best for me = im not gon get to start so i decommitted ...jus be real homie u wanna start
karlito stewart He said that clearly. That he wanted to run his own team idiot!!
@@deingram3677 - Karlito Stewart can simply read between the lines better than you can--Tre Jones said he was returning a month ago and we didn't hear anything from Boogie--Cassius came aboard less than two weeks ago and Boogie is gone...
mike collins Who are we? Are you including yourself? Lmao. WEIRDO your response makes no sense.
@@mike2687 taaaaaawk to tht man
@@deingram3677 - "we" a common term used by the fanbase where the person speaks of their team collectively by including themselves in name only--never before had it been taken as the fan being literal about being part of the team until your genius ass came along and tried to re-define it.
Here, let me give you an easier to follow example: NY Knicks fan right about now--"We need KD, Kyrie and the #1 pick to be a contender!!!"... you see De Ingram, the "we" that was used doesn't make it so the fan believes that they are part of whether the Knicks become a contender--merely referring to what the KNICKs need. Another fan may disagree and say, "No, we just need KD, Kyrie and trade the pick for a vet to be a contender". Again, the "we" in question simply refers to the Knicks and in no way believes that they, nor the other fan, are actually taking part in what the Knicks become.
I feel like you know this and are trolling but it's questionable and, just in case, this is me doing my good deed for the day and helping you understand words and how they work. For that matter, "reading between the lines" means that Karlito understood to not take Boogie's word as the complete truth... ever have a GF? Women say a million things that aren't the truth but you better figure out what the hell she really wants if you plan on keeping her? Example; GF mentions how one of her girls was taken on a romantic date for her birthday and then says very little about it--what this really means is you better open up your wallet and make her birthday over the top! Don't and you'll be holding your hand. Boogie said he wants to run a team and that's why he's leaving--what he's really saying is that now that Duke has another elite guard that it pushes him off the starting line-up... if it were completely about Jones, then he would have done this a month ago when Jones announced he was returning.
I hope this helps but I bet I wrote more than you're willing to read in one sitting.
Go to UConn
I Lost A Lot Of Weight My Senior Year!
Why do Duke fans get all but hurt when a player leaves the team. They turn against them and insult them. It happened with Chase Jeter and Thornton.
No we not mad we are just lost on why he left his explanation for decommiting dont make sense
@@aaronaaron5286 He wants to run team. He probably felt like Tre was going pro and saw a opportunity. He is too good to be a back up and can start for a hand full of elite programs
@@pizzapocket7878 you acting like teams dont start two pg in college basketball alot of times tre and boogie would of complimented each other well tre is more of a facilitator and a defender while boogie would be free to score and even if boogie didn't start booker and waiters didn't start at there schools but got drafted in the lottery
@@aaronaaron5286 Don't forget that Stanley joined the team and that means more computition. Anyways it's over and done with.
not butt hurt at all. I just dont understand his logic, i mean i do.. hes young i just dont think its a smart move. he would have gotten alot of play time, coach K likes to rotate players and switch things up. he loves having 2 teams to alternate . may be this kids biggest mistake in his life.... i wish him the best though!
you should go to Kentucky
He scared of tre lol
Alexander Willis no he not he just not tryna be in his shadow he want his own team
