As I have said a few times before, the smart move for Jamal Boykin would have been to escape the Duke Smug-Cloud. And he did. CSTV/Bill Hodges reports that Jamal Boykin is transfering out of Duke. Smart move! The Fairfax standout was misled by the typical BS that Coach AMEX uses to fill up the heads of potential recruits and they think Duke is some kind of paraside that will get them a max contract in the NBA. Then they show up on campus, reality hts, and he drains the life force out of them. I kid you not, a classic example was Sean Dockery! Just look into the player's eyes. The life force is drained out by Coach AMEX! Sorry Dookies, the truth hurts :-)
And now begins the re-recruitment of Jamal Boykin, presumably by West Coast teams, with the SoCals probably having first dibs, but don't discount the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Gonzaga) or Arizona or New Mexico State. As you may recall Jamal Boykin was one of the top 100 players of the 2005 class but rarely got off the bench at Duke. His move to the west coast will allow him to recover from the "Duke experience" and return to the floor and showcase his talents that got him the top 100 ranking. His year by year player profiles can be found at Scout.com.
I would like to congratulate Jamal Boykin for this move and his brave escape from K-Ville!
I am no Nostradamus, but I predicted this almost a year ago!
Meanwhile tons of games this weekend on TV. Check the comprehensive tv listings for this weekend at NCAA Hoops Today

What exactly is a "paraside" buddy? At least the "smug-clouds" know how to spell.
LOL. The smug-clouds may know how to spell but apparently they are not good at reading comprehension:
It is rather obvious from the above sentence that the w0rd was supposed to be "paradise", but my speed-typing skills put down "paraside".
The above sentence doesn't even make sense if you think it was supposed to be "parasite". Granted I don't always make sense, but I'm not that incoherent :)
I am also predicting that Taylor King will transfer out of Duke by th end of 2008 and end up at LMU/Pepperdine or somewhere else on the WCC/BigWest :-)
I bet after Duke handed Jamal Boykin and the Cal Bears their asses this weekend he's probably wishing he was back with the winners at Duke... I'm just sayin'
