2013 recruit Matt Jones has been offered

I may be out of the loop with my long absent, but does that mean we're done for Shabazz also?

No, not at all. Duke will ride the Shabazz train until the end. Most consider UCLA the leader, some say Kentucky, but Duke is still in it.

Anything can happen. 2013 is a long way away.

Sure, death and taxes and all that. And he said (before the Duke offer) he plans to take unofficials to Duke, Kansas, Florida, Baylor and Texas. I was just pointing out it's not like Jones was exactly tempering his excitement at getting an offer from Krzyzewski, and that it seems like Sulaimon wants him aboard, FWIW.

Coach K will be quite busy next summer with the Olympic team. Makes sense to me that he would like to get the recruiting for the 2013 class in place. He seems to be out seeing the top guys, making some decisions, and extending offers. This process may also include a stronger, earlier "close" on some prospects.

The apocalypse or the movie?

Or just the basketball season? I keep thinking the next one is the one that will kill me.

Check out these two videos with Matt Jones. The first is simply a brief clip of him nailing a three. The second is cool in that a UNC site is talking with him before I ask some additional questions. Watch him light up when Duke is mentioned - http://bluedevilnation.net/2011/07/m...deos-from-bdn/

Thanks for the interview, Mark. Yeah, couple of big smiles when talking about Duke.

And it's great to hear about the connection with Randle. That Texas duo would be quite the daily double. From what you're hearing, is that a realistic possibility?
