Could Duke be in the mix for Purvis?
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.
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...
For some reason, his name has a bad feeling for me. Maybe it has to do with 1986?
Was Purvis the kid who said his favorite team growing up was Duke??
I think that was Sulaimon.

https://www.facebook.com/note.php?no...63642860352651Sulaimon grew up a Duke fan and he can now play for his dream school.
And Landon Lucas, who we scouted a bit but didn't offer, basically said the same thing...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.

I would rather see him in red than that other blue....

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