CapitolHoops.Com Tyler Thornton Highlights Gonzaga 6'2" PG 2010

[xLifeinmotionx]

I love Duke but I don't know how I feel about a Christian song being used to help glorify a basketball player. -_-

[Lorenshyne]

Im impressed. This fella is ahtletic and had lots of stealz last yeas. He is stuck behind Irving, now Austin Rivers and next year Rasheed Sulaimon but if he learns he will be a rather good player as a senior.

[popomora]

wow it turns out thornton is going to star at point guard over quinn cook

[rjkennedy98]

tyler has been the nicest surprise this year. He is now the starting point guard which is a huge complement to his game

[PrObLem5]

is number 12 on the other team kendall marshall

[Rougemont415]

Can't wait to see this kid playing at Cameron.

[320jsimpson1]

@Rougemont415 - I hate to see a Gonzaga boy going to a shithole like Duke. In 2008 their top player went to Harvard and in 2009 Hummer went to Princeton.

[dgarver1992]

@320jsimpson1 fuck you pussy!

[xLifeinmotionx]

@Rougemont415 I hope you were watching last night.

[lyricaladaud]

Dork Carolina is in trouble because they don't have a point guard, because kendall marshall is garbage LOL!!!

[lyricaladaud]

He schooled Bullock!

[Clint8179]

Duke is gonna be overloaded with guards and shooters next year. Who's gonna replace Zoubek and Thomas and who's gonna spell the Plumlee brothers if one of them get's in foul trouble. Duke is finally back in the final 4 largely in part because they finally have some depth down low. Where is that depth gonna come from next year? I see no real post players coming in next year.

[lastcall808]

Felix.....6'6 power foward JUCO transfer, best JUCO player in the country.....Duke's 1st ever...we also still have Ryan Kelly who is 6'10, and Josh Hairston coming in who is 6'8.

[Snapalapscholes]

@lastcall808 not to mention Kyrie Irving who is better then John Wall and ma boy ANDRE DAWKINS

[lastcall808]

@Snapalapscholes...I wouldn't go as far as saying he is better than Jon Wall. Wall the best out of high school talent we seen since Durant, I'm talking raw talent. BUT...I would rather have Kyrie anyday, he is very bball smart and doesn't overuse his talent, he can turn it off and on when needed. Let's just be thankful for our championship this year because Kyle is prolly gone. Hopefully Kelly can step-up.

[guitarramiguel1]

@lastcall808 - You have to realize Tyler is a DC Gonzaga boy - and Kyrie is from St. Patrick's in Jersey. It's like Thornton prepped at Harvard academic wise and Kyrie at Montclair State. You can bet your ass Tyler will be the smartest guy on the Duke team.

[casplash4]

@guitarramiguel1 yeah, you right. look at all the backdoor cuts hes making. smart player

[42marisol1]

@casplash4 - Gonzaga has some great teams but not that many flashy guys. Tyler just wants a bucket and just cuts and puts it in the hole. Academic standards are strict , so you won't see players like you do at Montrose Christian, Oak Hill Academy or even DeMatha. Their guys are sound fundamentally and don't usually attend basketball factories like Duke. Duke is a fine school (I hate em) but you have to be a student also. Thank god , he didn't go to a dump like Kentucky.

[MrMJSPEARS]

Dukes backcourt and front court will be crazy 2010 especialy if Singler stays duke can run a 3 gaurd set Curry, Smith, Irving,then Miles or Mason Plumlee at the center spot Singler at pf scary!!!!!!!!!!!! with dawins, thorton, hairston of the bench nightmare for the acc and the college basketball world. National Champs period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kkkknights]

if john wall and demarcus cousins leave, which they will, duke will start out next year as the number 1 team in the nation. there entire team is good, theyve got so much depth

[jskillzis4hh4]

nolan smith, kyle singler, dawkins, kyrie irving, tyler thornton, plumlee brothers, carrick felix, kelly, seth curry, joshua hairston equals.....

2010-2011 Regular Season Champs, ACC Champs and NCAA Champs

[jskillzis4hh4]

Yo, Point Blank

Nolan Smith, Kyle Singler (if he returns, i think he will), Kyrie Irving (John Wall), Seth Curry (you've seen his father and brother) both Plumlee's, another solid point guard Tyler Thornton, CARRICK FELIX 6 FT 6 (atheletic/gerald henderson like) and Joshua Hairston and ofcourse DAWKINS who will be better and Kelly

[MrTeddiepain]

look firs reddick and williams what about battier and j will and lets please not forget the back to back national championships 99 and 00

[Cameronkrzy4life]

@thatboi5 Kelly looks lost and Dawkins (whome I like) will get better. But Duke has had no classes since Redick and Williams. Let's not even get into the Transfers.

[Cameronkrzy4life]

@thatboi5

Let's see, Lance has never played like a Mcdonalds all american, Neither Has Zoubek. He's played good the last couple of games but it's about damn time for player coming out of high school was considered the next Mike Giminski. Paulus was never a great PG and McRoberts was a bust. Henderson was great but should've stayed another year. The Plumlee brothers haven't done anything but dunk and half of them are on alley Oops.

[Cameronkrzy4life]

Go kill yourself.  What class proved anything???

[Cameronkrzy4life]

Duke hasn't had a good class since Redick and Williams!!

[MrSonofOsiris]

well this is not gonna be my bluedevils yr cause we don,t have any player who can create and make others better Kyrie and Tyler will feel dat void so Dukies keep your head up playmakers are on their way.peace

[TheCjk141]

Duke has an amazing class coming in next year....maybe the best since Redick,Williams,an Dockery etc. ......Blue Devils baby!!!!

[theturdbucket1]

dam deez nutz is classic!

[linker17839]

Mix between J. Williams and Lawson!?!?!?! Come on man, those were 2 of the quickest/fastest players to come through college basketball ever! This kid is even the quickest/fastest in his graduating class. I know you like him, but that comparison was a bit much!

[RepPhilly215]

Good Player, few nice moves, dont see as a starter anytime soon, especially with Seth comin in, he will play a huge role off the bench for atleast 2 years, but I only see him as a starter in his senior year ....... GO DUKE!!!!

[dukebluesawyer]

damn he looks pretty good

[awinner23]

Tarhole fans are like cockroaches. You can find them all over the place including most basements and meth labs. If all of them could read, the internet forums would be ten times worse then they are now.

[4evaDukeFan]

your an idiot

[nytr7]

yea linker17839 dont forget about seth curry gonna be rockin thta duke blue to in 2010 so dont get to far ahead of urself

[linker17839]

He shoots 41% from the field and 35% from 3, we won't barely play. Dawkins is already a much better player as a junior in high school!

[704ondeck]

Hairston commited 2 Duke last time i checked. Hopefully coach K can continue 2 pursue these superior athletes. Duke WILL b back!

[linker17839]

Not Josh Hairston, a.k.a. Lance Thomas 2.0. I'm talking about PJ Hairston, one of the best shooting gaurds in the country for the class of 2011 and a north carolina native!

[ferrari4609]

Duke is going to be one of the top 5teams in the country for years with all these recruits they're signing.

[linker17839]

There still be second tier to UNC. Their 2009 class isn't even close to UNC's. The 2010 classes are even now (dook will have the advantage if they get Barnes). 2011 is all UNC so far, it looks like they'll have 3 top 25 guys (McAdoo, Hairston, and Gbijinie). UNC still > dook, nothings gonna change!

[Johaad]

Except that McAdoo, Hairston, and Gbijinie haven't committed yet (or even been offered). Don't get ahead of yourself. And don't be surprised if Duke is number 1 in the ACC. I'm not saying UNC will suck, but they will most likely play second fiddle to Duke. And how old are you? dook? Are you kidding me? Don't be an idiot.

[linker17839]

They haven't been offered bc Roy and K are basically the only 2 coaches respected the NCAA request to wait until after the sophmore year is completed. McAdoo's and Hairston's offer are coming in June, but I'm not sure when Gbijinie will get his.  UNC is also looking very strongly into CJ Leslie now. UNC won't be second fiddle to anyone. Dook has 3 guards total on thier roster, and still no inside game. I hope Scheyer and Singler's backs are in good shape, cause they'll be carrying the team!

[linker17839]

And it doesn't matter how old you are, if your a true Tar Heel you always spell it d-o-o-k!

[Johaad]

wow, ok. In a few years, when you get to high school, you'll understand. Yes I am a Duke fan, but I respect the UNC program quite a bit. I just can't stand when fans like you come on places like this, and give a bad name to your program (and yes, Duke has fans like this too).

[linker17839]

Its been quite a few years since I was in high school, I'm 25 jihad, and just how is stating facts giving UNC a bad name?  What is it that I should hope to understand?

[Johaad]

You crossed a line. That is the most inappropriate thing I have ever seen on youtube. Since you're a racist, I guess I should expect the previous stupidity that you stated. Arguing about basketball is one thing, but when you make racist remarks, that is something different altogether.And yes, it IS because of you that Duke fans have this perception of UNC fans. It's because of you that people think UNC fans are a bunch of racist hicks. Well I guess in your case they're right.

[linker17839]

Hahahahahaha, you haven't been on youtube much then, and I'm black you oversensitive tool! Playin the race card just because you don't have any answers is pretty weak!

[Johaad]

You're right, I don't spend hours trolling through videos like you. And by the way dumbass, it's not just white people that are racist. And it was you that played the race card first. I can't believe I wasted my time arguing back and forth with a racist tarheel. Have fun next season with a mediocre team. This little spat is over.

[flamingplatypussy]

you should go back and get that deploma

[tm9847]

tyler is a good scorer, but his defense is outstanding. that is what duke is getting.

[Kasino617]

Can't wait. Let's go DUKE!!!

[zakmi11]

Duke Baby!!!!!!!
