Not sure if anyone heard but Shabazz says he's going to attend UNC's Midnight Madness. Seems like he may be a little more interested in the lighter blue...ohh well.

I wouldn't get too worried Shabazz's recruitment is wide open.... UNC just happend to be first on the to-do list.

Picks to win the dunk contest tonight? (espnu)

My vote is Nick Johnson, I know Deuce is the favorite but Johnson has serious bounce and could steal it.

Some others involved are: Lebryan Nash, Jahii Carson, Amir Garrett, Norman Powell. (missing some)

EDIT: Thread not Tread

Nick Johnson, Jahii Carson, Amir Garrett, Lebryan Nash, Norman Powell, Gabe York, Stephen Maxwell, Deuce Bello

For anyone who cares, Duece Bello won. Apparently, it was not even close. That kid has mad hops! Maxwell came in 2nd.

Yeah, my guy Nick Johnson couldn't make a dunk in the 2nd round (he missed the dunk that Deuce Bello won the whole thing on). Deuce scored perfect 40s on all of his dunks, He is, unquestionably, the most athletic player in the class.

The game itself is your standard no-defense affair, but there was a Power Forward I hadn't heard much about called Kyle Wiltjer who had a sweet-looking jumpshot. He's #32 or so on ESPNU's Top 100, and Scout's #5 rated PF (5-star). He decided to give his verbal at halftime and ... it went to Kentucky.

Wiltjer was also considering Gonzaga, Kansas, Cal, and Texas apparently. Kentucky really is just re-loading for yet another year.

There is absolutely no defense being played. Out of all the elite 24's this is the least impressive one.

This wiltjer kid has surprised me. Alex Murphy looks pretty good so far.

That wingspan and vertical make him a virtual 6'8".

I need more time at the beach, myself. Overall, very good comments from Duke prospects while there and a good time for the guys.

I couldn't find a box score (quite frankly, not even sure if one exists) but since you mentioned him, I know Austin Rivers had 15 points, 4 boards, and 4 assists.
