I really love this kid's attitude and enthusiasm. :D

[Welcome2DaSlopes]

I can't wait for Andre Dawkins to come to Duke

[Greg_Newton]

HSH: Do you ever see someone from another school trying to out-recruit you?
AD: Kendall (Marshall) is always trying to recruit our guys. Whenever I see Kendall around Harrison I have to run on over there. He’ll just be talking about North Carolina, and I’ll just say how bad they are.

Lol. Love it.

I can't wait for Andre Dawkins to come to Duke

Or any of the 10' recruits....

He can really handle himself well in an interview though!

I like his point that it was obvious that Duke is trying to become more athletic on the wings. With the addition on Dawkins, the transfer of Curry and potentially signing Harrison Barnes not only will it bring more athletism to the court, it appears as if we are going to have plenty of basketball IQ to work with as well.

I love this kid already! Not to mention the whole basketball playing part...

This is the type of kid we need (kids that love the program and are willing to give everything they have to make us better). The Henderson comparison might be a liitle off as Henderson was a bit more gifted of an athlete but not as polished as Dawkins. Just my take.

I love his comment about how he doesn't care about living up to the hype, he just wants to win games. I cannot wait to see him in Cameron.

Seems like a great kid. Love the attitude and intelligence.

Love this kid. Where did we land on the whole nick name thing?

Coach D maybe?

i think i simply love him! Can't wait to see him in action!

[Edouble]

Or any of the 10' recruits....

How many ten footers do we have coming in?

[Duke of Nashville]

How many ten footers do we have coming in?

Well, I do not know how many maybe ten feet tall but I heard that Andre Dawkins could shoot fireballs from his eyes....or was that article talking about his shot....anyway thats the story and I am sticking to it!

I like that he said he's a talkative guy. Communication is something that Coach K emphasizes, especially with his guards. Hopefully, this is part of what will make him a great leader for this team. Sounds like he's well on his way.

That did sort of make me giggle.

"No, I don't think he's that big, Jerry"

"The game he plays is that of some Viking giant with a basketball in one hand and a club in the other, standing 10. 11, 12 feet tall."

"Here he is, flying through the air on the flying trapezius"

[ACCBBallFan]

The Negotiatorsounds good since THE CLOSER is probably trademarked.

[ChicagoCrazy84]

Andre!!

As long as he can bring in Harrison, 1 PG, and McAdoo, he will be my favorite. Gotta love it.
