An article in the Atlanta paper yesterday about Chris Lewis, who has verbal offers from Memphis and New Mexico. He's a 6-7 forward, son of NFL pro bowler Mo Lewis, and is in the 8th grade. The article I read said that he is an honors student, with good grades, and is interested in Duke, Harvard and UNC...

The picture that was in the paper was hilarious. He was standing, holding a ball in one hand that was straight out from his side towards a classmate, who was about a foot and a half shorter. I couldn't find a link to that article, but all the info is in these two:

Sure sounds like a possibility in a few years!

Let's see.

Duke and Harvard have great coaches and outstanding academics.

And clean records.

Harvard because they are not an ACC school ;>)) .

Is this a trick question? I could make an argument for "all of the above."

Harvard because it is not in the ACC, as noted above, and because it is not in North Carolina (and also because, as an Ivy League school, it does not offer athletic scholarships); UNC because it is a state school and because, as noted above, it currently lacks a clean athletic record and a basketball coach with a Duke connection; Duke because, well, it's just obviously way cooler than the other two.
