    Could Duke be in the mix for Purvis?

    I think both Duke and NC State are in the mix.

    I've heard that he's been seen around Raleigh quite a bit.

    Could that be because he lives in Raleigh?

    I honestly have no idea where he ends up. Would be a big get for Gottfried after the Harrow transfer.

    At this point I can't see how/why Duke would actively recruit him. I know that he is a very good player but when he enters college Duke will have 2 true pg's and 2-3 lead/combo guards already on the roster. Additionally, we are looking to be very tight in the scholarship department. There are already scholarship offers out to at least Parker and Shabazz with only one slot currently available which may be taken by Daniels. So in order to sign those two we are going to have some early entries or transfers. I don't see how Purvis could bump himself up the priority list enough to get an offer.

    ^^No. I've heard that he has relationships with some people from State, like Tyler Lewis, Lorenzo Brown, and Julius Hodge.

    I've also heard that Purvis is a top priority for Gottfried.

    Agree 100%. He may get a look, but I doubt it gets too far.

    Duke is/has been in contact with Purvis. He was one of Duke's earliest offers to the 2012 class (and is one of three outstanding uncommitted offers along with Tony Parker and Shabazz Muhammad.) It will be interesting to see how this whole thing progresses. The scholarship numbers are certainly getting tight...

    What about Deandre Daniels? I know he is 2011 but was inquiring about the three uncommitted outstanding offers.

    For some reason, his name has a bad feeling for me. Maybe it has to do with 1986?

    I think that was Sulaimon.

    http://bluedevilnation.net/2011/02/r...aimon-to-duke/

    Sulaimon grew up a Duke fan and he can now play for his dream school.
    https://www.facebook.com/note.php?no...63642860352651

    Sulaimon always talked about Duke and was honored when Krzyzewski offered him a scholarship at the very beginning of January.

    "It's always been No. 1 to him," [Sulaimon's coach] Lowe said. "He said he wants to continue working on his game to keep pushing and pushing, and he's always done that to be able to get offered at Duke.
    And Landon Lucas, who we scouted a bit but didn't offer, basically said the same thing...

    I see you've added the qualifier "for college." So he may be attending UNC for other reasons, e.g. NBA development?

    Seriously though, as good as he is I see us so loaded with small guys - K knows what he's doing so I'm not too worried either way.

    I still shed a tear when I think of that game.
