Super!! Facial resemblance to Grant.

He looks to be a multi-year player. Needs to develop an NBA body. He is a very good rebounder- likes to mix it up. Shooting needs some work- but appears to have decent fundamentals.

2015 isn't considered as good a class as 2014 or 2016. But Duke has plucked two gems from the class that absolutely fit Coach K's preferred style of play.

Great choice. great addition!

By not watching or tuning in to a live announcement I've successfully nabbed another top recruit for Duke. This one was a little tougher because I thought I had not watched or tuned in long enough at 7:30 only to find out I had to continue not watching of tuning in for a couple more hours. I'm exhausted from hours of ignoring media but nothing worthwhile ever comes easy.

Jeter's 210 lbs. Not what would be called a "load down low"

He is a good defender, one of those long, tall bouncy guys that has always given Duke trouble, I'm excited to have him on our side. Reported to have good post moves.

FWIW: Chase went for 14 pts, 15 reb, and 4 blocks in the game tonight.

Just to answer my own question - according to this ESPN story (http://espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/basketball/mens/story/_/id/11309875/chase-jeter-commits-play-duke-blue-devils), our next priority is Brandon Ingram.

When I said he's legit, I just meant he's good. He's a 5 star recruit, 13th on ESPN, 9th on scout.com, and 8th on Rivals. That means the 3 most recent big men to join our program are Jahlil Okafor, Sean Obi, and Chase Jeter. Not too shabby.

He's also young. He was the youngest player on the U-18 team, more than a year younger than most teammates.

With a DOB of 9/19/1997, he'll start his senior year of high school at 16 years old.

Look forward to watching him play and develop.

Not many big men develop a back-to-the-basket game with a go-to offensive post move this early in their career, but Jeter apparently has a right handed jump hook that is money in the bank. He also finishes with either hand at the rim and has a jumper reliable out to 15 feet. ALREADY. He's going to score a lot of points at Duke, and he's definitely going to be a pro someday.

Coach Capel has been terrific on the trail, don't get me wrong. But the assistant who did the spade work on this one was Wojo. By the time he took the Marquette job, this recruitment was essentially over. Since then, it's been by committee, with Capel, James, and Scheyer sharing the responsibilities to maintain the relationship. The critical nature of K's involvement goes without saying.

Obligatory Chase Jeter highlight video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUMg9JreDIw

I honestly didn't know much about the kid until today. I've been slacking on keeping up with recruiting. There's plenty of tape out there, but this was probably my favorite one that's not 5+ minutes long. Honestly, I don't understand the point of some of them that just show him slamming it from point blank range over and over. If you're 6'10" and you can't make that shot, no D1 schools are recruiting you.

I wish these videos would show more of his low post game, by which I'm very intrigued. He really seems to have that right handed hook shot going over his left shoulder. Very impressive for a young kid. I'm probably too young to think of an apt Duke comparison for this guy. He's way more skilled than any of the Plumlees or Zoubek, and he's not built like Boozer or Brand. I barely even remember Cherokee Parks (although I was a 3rd grade classmate of his younger sister, Madison), was he this skilled? For me, this guy represents something I've never seen in a Duke uniform: A long, lanky 6'10" guy with real low post skills.

An interesting comment from Zagsblog: "There are 10 big men in the top 15 of ESPN’s rankings, and ESPN National recruiting analyst Paul Biancardi says that Jeter belongs with the best of the best."

So maybe the overall class is considered weaker, but the big men in the class are strong regardless?

Hadn't thought about this, but the Duke comparison may be Alaa Abdelnaby (http://goduke.statsgeek.com/basketball-m/players/statlines.php?playerid=391)

Alaa was a good run/jump athlete with a good jump hook. He had a productive senior season, thanks in large part to passes from Bobby Hurley; perhaps Chase Jeter will similarly benefit from playing at least one year with Tyus Jones.

I'll guess Coach K hopes that Chase is more consistent than Alaa was.

Because a) it's the summer, b) I'm excited about Jeter, and c) the World Cup is over, I figured I'd give my <1 cent on Jeter:

1) Awesome haircut. Too bad Coach K will make Jeter shave it in 14 months... :(

2) Is he related to Derek at all? If so, he may be irresistible to the ladies

3) Are we going to have 2 years IN A ROW where we have an elite frontcourt? /endsarcasm

4) Jeter needs to call Amile and ask him how he gained weight between his freshman and sophomore year

5) Coach K seems to favor the post-up 4 rather than the spread 4 for the foreseeable future. I honestly kinda like that

The U18 FIBA Tournament of the Americas was streamed online in late June. Jeter came of the bench for that squad. You can watch the title game against Canada here.

Of course, like me, you may forget about Jeter as your jaw hangs open watching Justice Winslow, but that's a good problem to have. Watching Tyus Jones and Luke Kennard won't depress you, either.

Pretty sure he's Derek Jeter's nephew, but can't seem to find corroborating evidence.

I dunno about that. They put a offers out to TJ Leaf and Henry Ellenson, who are both stretch 4s.

Have you ever seen a Duke player with a unique haircut in high school (yes) and have him carry that haircut into the start of his freshman season? I haven't. Singler and Lance Thomas quickly come to mind. Winslow will be an interesting candidate. I'd be shocked if he started the season with his current hairdo. Is it Coach K? Dunno. Is it pressure from Duke Athletics? Dunno. All I do know is that the institution of Duke University Basketball likes players to keep clean haircuts.

You may be right, but the coaching staff worked on Jeter like crazy. I haven't heard that much about Leaf or Ellenson (although I may be wrong). Plus, right now, with MP3, Jefferson, Sean Obi, Jeter, and Semi who can play the 4 or 5 (or both), there seems to be log-jam in the frontcourt. I wouldn't be shocked if we got another frontcourt player, but I think our attention is moving to the wings (or maybe even 2016).

Kinda sounds like Mike Giminski! Wouldn't that be a wonderful development?

As to the wingspan number, G-man would fail today because he didn't have those long arms. It didn't seem to cause his failure.

Maybe Derek can come to all of Chase's games (he'll be done with baseball) - and bring a different gf to each one. If Chase stays 4 years and we go to the championship each year, that's around 160 different models/actresses. Doable for the Captain.

Given that there are 162 games in a baseball season, this is definitely doable over a 4 year period.

Alaa was not the most committed player. His senior year - when he knew he had a chance to play in the league- his motivation increased. Yesterday they mentioned that Jeter has a plan every game. 6 points from offensive rebounds, 6 points from the line and 6 points from making shots (hooks, short jumpers etc). That is a nice recipe for success. 18 pts a game. We will take that!

I always thought Mike had long arms. He had a relatively short neck, or so it seemed, and I thought he had a long reach for someone listed at 6'11".

Troublemaker

Great get. It's a strong class for bigs, and Duke was able to get a commitment from the one we zeroed in on the most. I believe in the past dozen years, we've only signed three centers who are as highly-ranked as Jeter: Okafor, Mason Plumlee, and McRoberts. So getting two of those four guys in the past two recruiting classes is an indicator of how well recruiting is going these days.

(Note: I do think Chase will see a decent amount of time at center. He's 6'10", presumably can fill out to 240-lbs or so, and while he has a midrange shot, doesn't have a 3-pt shot. That sounds like a center at Duke to me. Like Plumlee and McRoberts, I expect that he'll play some PF and then eventually settle in at C. But regardless of position, great get.)

This post is helpful to me, as both Jeter's actual height and position are unclear. In one article linked on front page, Jeter is referred to as 6'10" and as 7'. Last evening one of the ESPNU commentators said Jeter is "almost" 6'10", so Troublemaker's ref to 6'10" sounds most likely accurate. Gurus sometimes call him a forward, other times a center.

As to where he'll play, clearly at one of our two interior spots. For his frosh season, 2015-16, we'll be inside-solid with R-Sr Plumlee, Sr Jefferson, R-So Obi, and Fr Jeter (possibly Jr Ojeleye, too, some minutes at 4). Seems fair to say Marshall is definitely a 5, and Amile definitely a 4. I assume Sean is back-to-basket, and really a 5. Chase seems likely to play mostly at the 4 his first season. I suppose his time as a 5 in his soph season, 2016-17, depends on how many minutes Sean can play per game (conditioning, foul issues). With added weight and strength, Chase would probably log significant minutes at both 4 and 5 his soph year.

Agree with Troublemaker's "great get" conclusion.

I stood next to him after the US U18 semifinal game this summer. My friend, a basketball junkie and Louisville friend, reached the same conclusion. This kid is really young. Somebody on this thread mentioned earlier that Jeter is still 16 years old. I think he will fill out and may even grow in height before reaching Duke.

I'm glad we got him. I think he has the chance to be good. Go Duke.

The following post is from the 22nd of May:


According to Chase Jeter, he was measured yesterday at 6'11" without shoes, which as he points out makes him a legit 7 footer, since "it's not too often I'm walking around without shoes."

7 feet tall; Mom's a teacher; Dad's a cop with a natty ring; 3.85 GPA.

Duke Guy.

Apparently, according to Jeter himself, he's a 7 footer on the court (and I doubt he's shrunk 2 inches in 2.5 months).

Caveat: I'm not 100% sure how Henderson got this information; however, if you go back and read the 2015 Recruiting Thread (this particular post is on pg 26), it certainly seemed like Henderson had some source relaying him information re: Jeter. Perhaps he knows someone close to him? I don't know, but he seemed like he knew what he was talking about whenever he talked about Jeter in that thread.

It's from where all credible info comes from in this day and age... Twitter. Jeter posted he was measured 6'11" without shoes on 5/22 this year.

Most important congratulations to Mr. Jeter and his decision. He chose a school that will develop his game up to the NBA level but also he chose a school that offers one of the best in academics. Your résumé will be awfully impressive.

08-05-2014, 07:05 PM
I'm not going to get too geared up about recruiting this early, and it may be that none of these other guys is interested in Duke, and maybe there'd be a logjam at center with Obi, Jeter, and Marshall, but from the Duke perspective, I doubt we'd turn down top 5 prospects who qualify academically and are solid interpersonally. Coach K needs solid players like Obi to win championships, but he also needs guys who'll be lottery picks. If somebody like Stone sends us positive vibes, and Jeter would exclude the possibility, I bet we'd drag our feet on pulling the trigger on Jeter.

Not to pick on you at all, johnb, for this post from back in May, as there were several others like it at the time and a lot since then, but the reality is that Chase verballed to Duke back in April. It's been a done deal for a long time.

The following post is from the 22nd of May:



Apparently, according to Jeter himself, he's a 7 footer on the court (and I doubt he's shrunk 2 inches in 2.5 months).

Caveat: I'm not 100% sure how Henderson got this information; however, if you go back and read the 2015 Recruiting Thread (this particular post is on pg 26), it certainly seemed like Henderson had some source relaying him information re: Jeter. Perhaps he knows someone close to him? I don't know, but he seemed like he knew what he was talking about whenever he talked about Jeter in that thread.

I was quoting a feature on Jeter that appeared in the local paper in May. He told the interviewer with some apparent satisfaction that he'd been measured at 7-0 with shoes. I don't have any special insights or contacts. It's just that I live in Las Vegas, where Jeter grew up, goes to high school, and where he gets a lot of local coverage that doesn't go national. So I pass on the local stuff when it seems relevant.

If anyone is interested, here is an interview with Chase Jeter done right after his announcement http://bluedevilnation.net/2014/08/new-blue-devil-chase-jeter-sits-bdn/

A really good kid who will fit in well at Duke. He has a ton of upside and you have to like that old school-ish hook shot of his.

Chase and super wing Jalen Brown were named co-MVP's of the Elite24 game tonight in NYC. Big end-of-summer all-star game, with all the top players participating. Jeter had 17 points and an event-record 15 boards.

I hope so. With a 2015-16 big rotation of Chase, Sean Obi, and seniors Amile and Marshall, we might actually outrebound everyone, for a change.

To be fair, most Duke teams end up with positive rebounding numbers for the season -- 2013 and 2006 were rare exceptions. Last year's taam was ninth in the 15-team ACC with a 2,0 rebound margin.

On the other hand, few Duke teams are exceptionally strong as rebounding teams -- 2010 did lead the ACC (and I believe led the nation in offensive rebounds), but that was the first Duke team to lead the ACC on the boards since 1986, 1988 and 1989 -- three times in four years.

Amen to that. And they'll have another year of development by then, 3 of them w/i the Duke system. It's also possible we'll have Winslow back another year. Plus there's Semi, who has a rebounder's body. And this year might not be too bad either with Okafor, Amile, MP3, and Winslow + whatever Semi can provide.

I think this is two years in a row that a Duke recruit was co-MVP of that tournament. Last year it was Tyus Jones.

Is there a box score available? I did a desultory search and didn't see one, then got lazy.

BTW, Chase Jeter's High School, Bishop Gorman, is ranked #1 in the nation in prep football and won their opener on Friday 44-0. It features Snoop Dogg's son -- Cordell "Don't Call Me Snoop Puppy" Broadus -- at wide receiver.

Anybody else see the family resemblance (facially) between Chase and Derek Jeter. Some of the photos are uncanny.

Thanks for the heads up on the TV replay.

Having watched the first half, I'm undecided as to whether the appropriate response to your thanks is "You're welcome," or ..... "I apologize." It's a close call.

Lots of talent, not much basketball.

I will observe that Harry Giles is real good. As are several others. Also, Chase Jeter's down-pat jump hook is so down and pat that the commentators refer to it as his "signature move." Fortunately, it's legible, legit, consistent. Welcome to Duke, definitely.

My comment wasn't meant to be taken literally. What I meant was rebounding will probably be considered a Duke strength, which is unusual from a historical perspective. Even in 2010, when rebounding absolutely was a Duke strength, that wasn't the general consensus among the talking heads. It's possible that in 2015-16, when a commentator lists the keys to the game, the bullet point -- "keep them off the boards" will be referring to keeping Duke off the boards and not Duke preventing opposing rebounds.

Are you trying to tell me that Duke got back-to-back top 3 big men in 2014 & 2015? What is going on!!! I thought we were a guard-oriented school! I thought Duke can't recruit big men! I thought big men hate Duke!

The sky is falling!!!! Noooooooooooooo!

Having now watched the "Chase Jeter Spring Mixtape", I have come to a few conclusions:
- big men probably shouldn't get mixtapes made... they look a bit silly
- Jeter does seem to have a nice touch to his jump hook (at least the few times they appeared in his mix tape), which is good because he's pretty skinny
- Jeter appears to be a big fan of the "and-1-style" pass fake over the head of the defender. I can't imagine Coach K will let that fly at Duke.
- Jeter appears to be the yang to Sean Obi's yin. Or the Jack Sprat to Obi's "Jack Sprat's wife"

I think Jack Sprat's wife needs to start taking some Lipitor.

While I understand where you're coming from, Jabari played the 5 sometimes by default. And he's a stretch 4. Plus he's predicted to be a 3 in the NBA. He's a little Duke bigman, if that makes any sense. Okafor is a traditional 5 (big, big dude). Jeter is a mobile bigman with a hook shot that can be effective with either his back to the basket or facing up.
