Derryck Thornton to Transfer; Uncle Goes On Twitter Rant Blasting Duke
After winning their fifth National Championship a year ago, the Duke Blue Devils were in scramble mode trying to find a point guard.
Before their title run in March, most believed Tyus Jones would at least be a two-year player, but his stock rose to heights it probably wouldn’t have matched if he stuck around another year.
In a desperate attempt, Duke “begged” five-star point guard Derryck Thornton to forgo his senior year of high school to come to Durham, according to his uncle, who has been on a roll today on Twitter after the news broke of his nephew’s plans to transfer.
