Any reports from this similar to the reports of the cp3 camp? which duke kids were there?

What's important is that you understand how Duke went from the verge of losing all five starters to returning two likely All-Americans and how the Blue Devils are the favorites to win a second straight championship thanks to Smith's willingness to follow Singler's lead.

First Singler and Smith met individually with the Duke coaching staff.

Then they went to dinner.

They talked about things one night, then returned the next night and did it again. Smith had long decided he would let Singler make the decision for both of them. If Singler stayed, Smith would stay. If Singler left, Smith would leave, too. Why? Because he had no interest in being Duke's lone senior, that's why.

"It would've been hard to be the one senior," Smith said with a smile. "I've seen the Duke teams with one senior, and they weren't very good. If Kyle would've left me, I would've felt stranded. Me and him came in together. We want to leave together.

"So I really was basing my decision off Kyle," Smith added. "But when we sat down and talked he said, 'I want to go back.' And I said, 'Well, I'm with you. Let's go back.'"

They need to both go back to the 1013 and carve their names in the tabletop. Also, when did Kyle announce to Nolan? Smith said early on he was returning, so this is pretty enlightening and yet scary to read.

That was a good article...but i was hoping to know how our duke players were doing at the camp? Like how they were competing against other talent?

Also, if they had some reports of how the USA select team was doing against the USA team, if that is even happening right now.

Hasn't happened yet. July 20-23.

Interesting to hear. I wouldn't have thought Nolan would have wanted to throw his name into a crowded, muddled draft, regardless of what Singler did. Not only that, he just seems to enjoy it at Duke so much. Regardless, it's become apparent that Singler made the right decision not only for himself -- I see lottery in his future, hopefully -- but for Nolan too.

I don't mean to be rude, but:

Here's an ESPN insider article from Fran Fraschilla about the Lebron camp. He thought that Singler was the most impressive player in the camp. As for Nolan he says that scouts are going to have to figure out if he's a 1 or a 2.

I had insider on trial for a month. You're not missing much. They are incredibly good at making it appear that you are missing a lot though...

Jay Bilas has a write up also on insider that tells that Kyle was the best player at the camp and the "fiercest competitor" but needs to work on his shooting consistency. He also says that Nolan was the best competitor and has "improved his mid-range game".
