When we heard that JoJo Boumtje Boumtje said the following on the Brotherhood Podcast, we knew it wouldn't go unnoticed. If you missed it, here's what he said about choosing Duke over UNC:
"Really just my gut feeling. Like, I like a lot of the schools that I had offers from, but at the end of the day, I think the thing that sold it was, if I go to one of these schools, I feel like I'm missing out on Duke. For Duke, I didn't feel that way for the other schools.
"Like, I didn't feel like I was missing out on going to, I don't know, UNC, for example. Like, it would have been great, but I feel like I would have been missing out on Duke if I had gone to UNC. So, just stuff like that, the fit, like the plan that Coach Jon [Scheyer] has for me, like all of that, it's really what brought me here."
Needless to say, this hasn't gone over well with the fans of the Lesser Blue.
Honestly, though, it's the funniest thing we can remember a freshman saying since Jason Williams went on Duke's WXDU and talked about how much he hated UNC and looked forward to killing them. He was, um…inappropriately enthusiastic.
