Well, we have some experience in grabbing a guy who made an early verbal commitment to UCLA, though we may not want to repeat it.
Taylor King announced a commitment to UCLA when he was in 8th Grade, but came to Duke, and then on to Villanova, and then kind of lost in a cloud of smoke.
I see what you did there :cool:Quote:

Duke has offered Matthew Hurt, of Rochester MN. 6' 9" Sophomore SF/PF
Also has offers from: UNC, KU, OSU, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Oregon, Florida, and Xavier. +UCLA
Older brother is a Freshman at Minnesota.
I was perusing the ESPN rankings/database for 2019 and came across this:
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/ba...cherokee-parks
I assume that has to be the Chief's son.
A 6'3" 160# Cherokee? That's a Little Big Man!Quote:

I wouldn't mind seeing a legacy or two pop up on Duke's roster, but I'm really hoping to see Shelden's and Candace's sons!
I'd be surprised if he has a UNC offer just yet, despite what Zags says. Roy is usually painfully slow to offer and none of the other sites I follow show an offer to him yet.Quote:

That may be oversimplifying things, but it certainly seems that, lately, you can bet on a Roy offer coming within a week of a K offer. Fair or not, that's been my impression over the past few recruiting periods.Quote:

But I don't think the 2019 Cherokee Parks is his son. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_LxX8zCHv4
** I see Bob already posted this. But Chief does have a son who plays whose name is Race.
I doubt a coach K, (or any other coach), offer has anything to do with how/who Roy recruits.Quote:

It's Roy's MO. He likes to take his time, show interest, and let the kids know it, tell them a UNC offer is special, that when you get one it means more than other schools.
He tells them, and I think he means it, that he likes to get to know them/family somewhat before he extends offers...beyond just because they have talent.
Even the obvious ones everybody knows you'd want, he is often late to offer. UNC fans love to complain about that tactic on these talented kids, but Roy does it how Roy does it.
You forgot to indicate that the bolded portion is a quote, a statement of opinion, not fact.Quote:

Just my opinion, but offering three sophomores, none of which are higher than a four star recruit, doesn't seem slow to me.
Years ago, I thought that an offer from UNC was special, but that has proved to be incorrect. Well, it could mean special if you count a phony education/degree. GoDuke!Quote:

Mike Krzyzewski was in to see five-star 2019 prospect Matthew Hurt today, per his father. Bill Self & Roy Williams are expected next week.
There's an Abbott and Costello routine somewhere in there with this kid's name.Quote:

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but they divorced awhile back. They did have 1 daughter, though.Quote:

Someone with better search skills can check.
Well, Howard Hurt is not his father. According to his brother's basketball bio at Minnesota (where he just finished his freshman year), his Dad's name is Richard Hurt, Jr.Quote:

Of course, if Matthew Hurt's dad is a Jr. and not named Howard, then Howard is not the grandfather either. Could be related still, but perhaps not a direct lineage.Quote:

I feel quite confident in saying that Matthew Hurt's father is not in his 70s.Quote:

Roughly the same likelihood as having a kid good enough to play college basketball at the ultra-elite level?Quote:

This should put the issue to rest... http://www.postbulletin.com/sports/h...baf894ae9.htmlQuote:
