    ... Even if we get Barnes that's still only 10. As of now, our main targets for that year are:

    Rivers
    Miller
    MP3

    If we get all 3, that would give us 13 IF we get Barnes and all the above players are still on the team.
    I thought we were very interested in Brad Beal, and that Austin and Brad were friends. What year is Beal?

    Not to the point where the Rivers family would be asked to pay for Austin's costs his first year at Duke.

    Never said they would or should be asked.

    Scenario: 2011-212 schollies:

    Czyz (Sr)
    MP1 (Sr)
    Dawkins (Jr)
    MP2 (Jr)
    Kelly (Jr)
    Barnes (So)
    Irving (So)
    Curry (So)
    Hairston (So)
    Thornton (So)

    We offer the bigs and they accept:
    Miller (Fr)
    MP3 (Fr)

    Leaving Rivers and Beal and one scholarship.

    Could Doc and Austin, knowing the score, even though they know Austin would get the schollie, OFFER to walk-on for a year to give Austin a chance to play with Beal?

    I guess anything's possible, but I don't see both Rivers and Beal on the team unless we lose a guard. That's a really crowded backcourt...

    Doc's contract coming up for renewal? Currently runs through 2010-2011, at $5.5 mil/yr. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3579039

    Wonder if Steve Pagliuca's negotiations with Doc will coincide with Austin's decision?

    Could be an extra year at $6 mil + on the line ...







    really, this is just kidding!

    Marshall Plumlee has also been offered according to Rivals but not Scout.

    MP3 has an offer too, yep. Beal has an offer as well and Rivers' offer is just a formality. If he wants to come here, he's coming.

    BDN confirmed the MP3 offer. That's the one I count on for accuracy.

    Well, that's not what it appears from the article (which I'm requoting below after bolding the parts that state that EB and GH spoke directly with Austin).

    ...Sixers forward Elton Brand spent a significant amount of time talking to the young Rivers after the Celtics’ win against Philadelphia on Tuesday.
    ...“Well, it’s like family with Grant,” he said of his former player. “He’s come to a couple of (Austin’s) AAU games. He went out on the court to see him. Obviously, it’s a strong pitch when it comes from Grant Hill.”

    Sounds like DOC is on board

    Kedsy, there has to be a difference between a university's coach setting up a meeting between alumni and prospective recruits and a recruit's father doing the same thing, especially when he is involved in the basketball business.

    Well, I assume so or they wouldn't be so open about it. But I was wondering what exactly that difference was, or if anybody knew the actual rule, because I was always under the impression that contact between a recruit and an alum was strictly forbidden. For example, would it be OK if the parent of a Michigan recruit set up a meeting with Ed Martin? Where's the line?

    Yeah, I must have just missed that part where it said EB was talking to "young" Rivers after the game. The previous reports said he had talked to Doc, not Austin. Maybe this article just got the facts wrong on that one? Isn't Austin in Florida right now anyway? I don't know...
