Is it possible that they are editing the film? Nah....

Amazing person. Best part to me... when talking to the kids...

I try to talk to each of them, to show them that there’s something else out there — to show them that they don’t have to be ball players. They could also be the next Steve Jobs.

GOOD LUCK Jabari...

I have heard war veterans describe the same unease in regards to 4th of July fireworks... that should tell you something about the psychological impact of growing up on Chicago's Southside.

Wow, that's fantastic. I didn't go to Duke. I'm a Clemson grad. When I read this story, however, it reminds me of why I've stayed a Duke basketball fan. I know I became a fan because of the winning (I was at Clemson from '89 to '91) and because of some players (like Bobby Hurley and Grant Hill). But when I read a story like this, I think that this guy is a Duke guy and it's why I've stayed a fan because guys like Jabari come to Duke (and the continued winning is kinda fun too).

Dana O'Neil has a new article up focusing on what the team is doing while Coach K is in Rio:

Similar to how Jah helped marshall grow, I think having Bolden will only help Chase develop. He seems to be in a good spot mentally which is key to allowing himself to benefit from the increased comp.

It may be the other way around, or mutual. Chase has had a great summer. DraftExpress ranked him as the 2nd-best college performer at this summer's Adidas Nations, ahead of guys like Jarron Blossomgame and Indiana big man Thomas Bryant.

I would only pencil in Bolden being ahead of Chase in the rotation. I wouldn't use pen.

Very good point and I'd be happy for these guys to both grow and become interchangeable pieces up front. Having said that, Bolden is currently projected to be a top 10 pick in next years draft for several reasons. If Chase is capable of rising to that level, all the better for everyone.

Man I love this kid already! And he may end up being my favorite recruit in this loaded group we have coming in. Power, grace, he is looking good. I have a sneaky feeling he could be much better than many realize/predict before all is said and done. Man our interior group this year appears to be locked and loaded for bear! Those perimeter guys best be bringing their A game night in and night out if they want to see the floor because with this talent, K it going to have to think harder than normal about running with just one big on the floor.

(NewtDawg14 ducks as all the thrown sneakers coming flying toward his head from the DBR folks that love small ball and believe K will always go small no matter what!)

Wow. Javin looks to be really athletic. Don't hear much about him given all the other top recruits but he looks exciting.

Yeah we may not see much of him this season because of how loaded the team is but I think he is going to be really good down the road. He is supposed to be really aggressive and competitive with a very high motor. Could be an offensive rebounding machine and a lock down kind of defender.
