About time we beat Kentucky's recruiting...
According to her Twitter account- @bgreenwell23-Rebecca Greenwell has committed to Duke. She's a 6-1 wing from Kentucky. Top 10 in class of 2013.
About time we beat Kentucky's recruiting...
In addition to getting a darn-good prospect, this is significant because Greenwell is the first elite recruit to pick Duke since Stafford-Odom left Duke for Chapel Hill. There was a narrative out there that Stafford-Odom was the key to Duke's recruiting successes and that McCallie would be unable to bring in elite recruits in her absence.
Seems to not be the case.
A couple of great recruiting classes. Lots of talent on the WBB team now. Looking forward to seeing them in the Final Four soon!!
I saw a preseason poll somewhere recently that had them in the top-5 nationally for 2012-13. Gotta get past Baylor, U-con and Stanford (and ND?).
Ooh, very cool. She was touring with the team last Saturday. She was tons of smiles as she walked past our tailgate tent so from our end it looked like things were going well. Welcome to Duke!

Awesome news. Welcome.

I should have mentioned that her final two schools were Duke and Notre Dame. Always good to win a recruiting battle against a conference rival.
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

Well said Becca, well said! May your dreams come true at Duke!“(Duke) hasn’t won a national championship yet so I want to be a player that helps them win their first one,” Greenwell said.

she sounds terrific.
and it's impressive that this 6'1" guard averaged 18ppg and 8rpg--as an 8th grader on varsity...
Good news indeed. Welcome to Duke, Rebecca!
Can anyone comment on the scholarship situation with the team. I believe this is 2 commits for 2013, with only 1 senior (Allison Vernerey). Any scholarships available for another low post player to apprentice and pair with Elizabeth Williams?

Coach Stafford-Odom is a significantly better basketball mind than Joy is at the moment; however, for those who haven't met Joy, she is one of the most genuine, passionate individuals in all of Duke athletics. She was brought in to help negate the loss of Coach Trish in the recruiting department. She's just gonna keep getting better. Also, with all the scholarships we have out to our upper classmen (Juniors and Sophomores especially) it's hard to bring in a ton of top top talent because they're fearful of playing time, which is a valid concern, we're stacked. The real test to see how we are in recruiting will be our recruiting class that we start bringing in next year. I have faith.
