    2012 Basketball Recruiting Thread

    I know this is a little early but we have seen and heard what some of the guys we will be going after within in the next year or so...

    We have officially offered J.P. Tokoto and reportedly have a high intrest in Justin Anderson and L.J Rose...

    This is a thread to dicuss all our possible targets and any news from this class...

    Justin Anderson: 2012 Prospect

    Okay, it's REALLY early to be talking about 2012, but this kid has already stated duke is his "dream school." He's a top 10 prospect in the class, and incredible athlete and also a very good shooter. After watching a couple videos, i'm kind of hyped up about him, check it out:

    heck ya! dude has got some game... he played on joshua hariston's hs team so hopefully josh has this kid drinking the cool aid... the only thing working against us is all the wing/forward/guards allready on the roster... felix, gbingie (sp), and dawkins who could likely move to the 3 position will all be on the team plus we are recruiting JP tokoto (who i think is going to unc) who plays the same position. so hopefully the depth we have will not scare him away cuz we could have some serious athleticism on the team in the future... man i love the direction duke is heading! fun time to be a devils fan!

    *edit now that i've looked at scout i can see we have intrest in the 1,2,3, and 4 SFs so hopefully anderson understands the way recruting works and doesnt feel slighted by the fact we are in contact with other players at his postion... i guess tokoto is the #1 target cuz he is the only one with an offer but i wonder where anderson falls on the coaching staffs list in terms of the most desired player in 2012.

    It's still pretty early in the game and Duke is in the evaluation stage with a number of folks not on that scout.com list, including Alex Murphy, whose brother Duke recruited before he committed to Florida, and Tony Warren's son T.J. Warren was a fine player at State in the late 1970s.

    hmm.. nobody taller than 6'7". sort of surprising.

    I think the reason nobody is over 6'7" is because they haven't all grown into their bodies yet,Gordon Heyward was like 6'2" until his senior year then grew to 6'9".I wouldn't be too worried about it,their is still along time untill we start heavily recruiting these guys.

    I'm pretty sure they're still growing.

    I really, really, really like Justin Anderson. He's 15 and he's already built like a man. I'm no professional, but I see him being a very good player.

    Justin is 16; date of birth 11-19-1993. He certainly can finish at the rim!

    This from USA basketball and also gives some info on others prospects in that age range.

    That is first rate reporting if I've ever heard it.

    Lol you were still on the court with the guy, props for that. I played high school football against Dez Bryant and in a Texas HS All-Star game with Earl Thomas.

    Totally unrelated but I wanted my 15 minutes.

    I noticed that BDN posted a recent interview with D'vauntes Smith-Rivera, 6-4 220 lb. shooting guard from 2012 class; does this mean we may be interested in him? Possibly begin evaluating him and potentially recruiting him or was just a random interview? Anybody got any insight?

    He's just finishing his sophomore year of high school, and he weighs 220 pounds? And he's a guard? (And not a football guard?) Wow.

    Mark and crew don't typically interview random kids, so I'm sure there is some interest either from Smith-Rivera's camp, from Duke's or from both. The list of 201e prospects is long right now and will more likely grow than shrink.

    Shabazz Muhammad
    Alex Murphy
    Justin Anderson
    Amile Jefferson
    Tyler Lewis
    TJ Warren
    LJ Rose

    And some others are all being recruited by Duke in one way, shape, or form.

    JP Tokoto isn't on the list anymore? Haven't we already offered him a scholarship?

    I realized I had left him off right after I hit post. Duke is still recruiting JP, but there is a strong feeling that he is waiting on a unc offer to come in June and will jump on the chance to play in Chapel Hill.
