I know they're 2013 and this is a 2014 thread, but still. If they do go together, it's looking like it'll be to either Louisville or Alabama, which at least would have the benefit of Williams spurning UNC and Kentucky, to which he had previously narrowed his list.
    All I have read suggests that Barber and Williams are not a package deal. Both have said something to the effect that, if Barber doesn't choose to go to Kansas or [one other place], then they "may" be a package deal. In essence, that means that they think they might end up at the same place, but they are making their own decisions. This is one of the weakest "package deal" quotes I have ever seen.

    When the list is updated, it should include 6'7" Kavon Looney out of Milwaukee.

    Wiggins is the Lebron James of the class, and something that we see only 1-2 a decade: a player who is leagues and leagues ahead of his peers on the high school level. Jones may be number 2, but he is a far number 2. Wiggins could essentially reclassify for the 2013 class and still be ranked as the consensus number 1 recruit across the majority of the recruiting platforms. He's that good. Some coach is gonna save his job by landing Wiggins (ala Howland).

    Wait, I thought Jabari Parker was the LeBron James of his class who we'd only see once or twice a decade? You mean there are two of them in two years? (And if Wiggins reclassifies, two in a single year?) Hmm.

    Blog from Jahlil Okafor:

    http://www.usatodayhss.com/news/arti...-jahlil--10002

    Mentions an upcoming K visit and that every time he talks to him, it's amazing. May also come to Midnight Madness, possibly with Tyus Jones. Sounds like they really want to play together at the next level.

    Yeah, these once-in-a-decade players only come around every year or two.

    How big of a challenge will it be to lure Johnson away from the West Coast?

    Not as hard as you think. If Duke pursues this kid enough we could see him on the east coast. Will it be a challenge yes, but if anyone can do it, it's Duke.

    To Bob's point, the farthest east scout, rivals, or espn has him is uk, one of only two schools east of the Mississippi. None of the three even has Duke listed.

    While I love getting top recruits, at this point, he seems less inclined to come east. But there is still a lot of time. And kids aren't always known for their clear headed decisiveness.

    Where is your confidence coming from?

    Well that's not entirely true rivals scout and espn haven't updated his profile in a while. He told me he was interested in UNC Duke Cuse and Kentucky so the option of going east is still there with those four east schools

    Which could be why I don't spend much time following recruiting. I'm too old to keep up with teens.
