Jordan didn't say. Maybe Parker, I don't know. Sure hope it wasn't Bazz.
I didn't see the tweet, but was it definitely someone Duke is recruiting? Even if it is, I think everyone on this board can agree that losing to a 15 seed and playing the way we did on Friday is not a good look. Obviously, the team, the coaches and the fans would have liked to have played better and won. If the quote is meant to suggest that the target is less likely to go to Duke because it didn't look good that we lost - newsflash to that player: they weren't playing the game to look good to you. But, I'm not sure it would make sense for Parker to say it either, considering that many people think he's strongly considering UCLA...
