    More interesting background info on RJ Barrett, who lit up the US team recently. Others have mentioned his strong interest in Duke, and I'm sure we are reciprocating the love. He sounds like a great talent.

    No chance. The fix is in. Cal agreed to showcase Barrett at the expense of the USA U19 team by not playing defense, and Barrett will attend UK. I've seen the email string. It's in Russian, which is no problem, and I have Google Translate for the Canadian bits. The parts that are in Kentucky-ite are unintelligible, of course, but they're probably gibberish in English anyway.

    Is this correct - Barrt is class of 2019, but may re-classify in the coming months to 2018?

    I was told today that his reclassification is a certainty and that it should be announced fairly soon.

    When he reclassifies, he will push Marvin Bagley as the No. 1 player in the class.

    When asked via the Twitter machine, Evan Daniels opined that, when Barrett reclasses, Bagley will continue to be the top 2018 prospect (he says by a pretty significant margin) and he would slot Barrett in at No. 2. FWIW.

    KU insiders are hopping with excitement over this and are very confident that Barrett will end up in Lawrence. Which is hilarious because KU insiders are always overly confident at this point in a recruitment, and are almost always wrong. Especially when going up against Duke and UK.

    So you can count this as my reverse jinx post: Good luck to RJ in Duke blue.

    Barrett was very interested in Kansas until he found it on a map.

    July is busy. In addition to putting together a young team when in Durham, July is a big recruiting month. Peach Jam started today, for example.

    Credit due to Tre Jones. 20 seconds left & tie game, he makes the layup while getting hammered, then finished the play with and-1. #tough

    Is that Chris Collins next to them? Purple shirt, but the shade is a little too light for NWestern.
    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Dan Majerle (Grand Canyon coach) is to Coach Capel's right.

    Patrick Ewing (Georgetown) is to Coach K's left.

    Better question: where's Coach Enfield's wife?

    I don't like the looks of Coach K's ankles: they seem swollen in this photo. I doubt he's wearing thick woolen socks in mid-July. Other recent photos of him from K-Academy suggested some sort of lower body issue(injury or edema). Praying that there's nothing wrong.

    Coach K can dress as comfortable as he likes...he has earned it.

    Also gyms are air conditioned now most coaches dress for the AC not the picture😀

    The man is 70 years old. If I'm him, I'd take bad ankles over other ailments that normally affect most 70+ year olds.

    Barrett is an interesting player and would be an interesting addition to Duke. He's not a shooter at this stage of his career, which is something that the coaching staff has valued in a wing since forever. But his talent more than compensates for that.

    A class of Tre Jones, Darius Garland, RJ Barrett, Cameron Reddish, and Marvin Bagley, Jr. (and maybe someone else like David McCormack) would be quite the coup.
