Alex Murphy looks like the "next" Laettner/Singler... Hope we get this guy. Looks like a solid all around player.
GO DUKE!
Thanks for coming by, Bryan. Wasn't aware of your site, but it looks promising. Good luck on your venture. Always good to have video and knowledgeable comments on top prospects.
You must have missed this post in the 2011 thread:
Let's chill on comparing a guy who just finished his sophomore year in HS to one of the greatest players to ever play in college and another guy who was just named MOP of the FF and looks well on his was to having his jersey in the rafters as well.
Kind of hard to to meet those kind of expectations, no?
Alex Murphy will be the prototypical Dunleavy/Singler player.
The thing I have seen is that he has a better handle than Singler and a better shooter than Dunleavy and maybe a bit more athletic than Kyle as well.
If Alex Murphy commits before Tokoto then I can't see JP going to Duke either way. Either in JP wanting to play the same position as AM or K in going after Shabazz. Its just that simple.
Tokoto might not even get an offer from Roy. He stunk up the gym with his play. His jump shot was not polished at all in form at both events.
One bad weekend isn't going to change Roy's mind on this. He has been recruiting him long enough and seen him play enough to know what his strengths and weaknesses are and what type of player he is. Maybe he doesn't offer him right at June 15th, but Roy will offer him at some point I can assure you.
What is this supposed to mean? Are you putting me in with someone who just throws stuff against the wall? Or are you being a troll? I think both... I always provide evidence to what I say, dude, and I don't need someone like you making these wise cracks constantly. Do you disagree that UNC will offer Tokoto? If you do please explain, that's all... Don't go with this crap that you seem to be hinting at here and bait other users, thank you.
Please take a deep breath, folks. Please think before posting. Please reread the stickies. Think about them before posting again.
Otherwise, some folks will be taking vacations.
thanks

I hope Roy does offer JP on the 15th because this what K wants him to do.
Its not going to happen because the man is not about to let the SHabazz fall into K's lap like this.
I don't think Coach K wants Roy to offer one of the better players in the 2012 class in J.P Tokoto. Again, J.P Tokoto will not have any affect on Muhammad's recruitment. Muhammad is a 2/3 and Tokoto is a 3. So UNC would put Muhammad at the 2 and Tokoto at the 3. One won't affect the other... They will find room for both of them.
Please provide links for your assertions that:
1) Coach K wants Roy to offer Tokoto a scholarship, and to do it on 6/15
2) Roy will in fact not offer Tokoto on 6/15
3) Roy's decision to not offer Tokoto hinges on his desire to not let Muhammad commit to Duke

How do you know? Have you spoken with Muhammad and Tokoto? Have you spoken with Coach K and Roy Williams? These two kids have both shown intrest in the UNC program and with Duke's. Both have been in contact with the coaching staff through this time and there would be room on the roster to include both of them. Why do you think it is set in stone that we get Muhammad? Where have you heard this?
I would say this is probably true of almost any HS player, though not all want to play at UNC or Duke for various reasons. I mean how could you not want to come to Duke in the '12 class and chip in for a 3peat? Beats the hell outta going to Carolina and finishing in the middle of the ACC, again.
