Great question. Recruiting seems to be always changing and very fluid. I cannot imagine the coaching staff does not have a backup plan. McGary and Parker have been our main targets, and Parker's decision is kicked out likely a few months, maybe more. I got my ACC area sports journal in the mail this week and it mentioned a few names that Duke was pursuing that we've not seen discussed very widely: Devonta Pollard (SF...and seemingly not addressing the big man need), Anthony Bennett (a wide PF). That's it for Class of 2012, unless someone knows something I dont know.
But take a look at
Scout's list. Who is uncommitted and big and a top tier player? That's a short list.
My guess is we could flirt with Bennett for the next few months while waiting on Parker. But our eggs are most likely in the Parker basket and we either get him or move on to the Class of 2013. Bennett is highly ranked so you'd have to either do more than flirt the next few months (which could be an indication the staff is not confident in their status with Parker), or stay focused on Parker.
