Great thread, you guys are crazy.
Football is the world's religion. And btw, Duke-Carolina is not the most passionate rivalry in the world.

Let's not put unreasonable expectations on the kid just because his dad is a famous player and coach...
Oh, wait a minute.
Zombie Thread.
Anyone know where this kid ended up?
Graveyard of broken dreams?Quote:

Getting closer- His dad is in a heap of financial trouble.Quote:

One of the top players in the Class of 2024, 6'7" G Naasir Cunningham, will take a visit to Duke this upcoming weekend. Cunningham displayed his mix of quickness, vertical ability, and shooting touch at the Hoophall Classic on Sunday night. He led the Gill St. Bernard (NJ) squad with 24 points on 5-6 shooting from 3 to go along with a few eye-popping dunks. He gets above the rim quickly, in a similar fashion to Cassius Stanley. He's a smooth and blazingly fast athlete with great shooting mechanics. His HS team includes another Duke target, Class of 2023 F Mackenzie Mgbako. He plays for the NY Renaissance AAU team with Class of 2022 commit Kyle Filipowski and coach Andy Borman. Suffice it say, this kid has a number of Duke connections.
Cunningham will be on campus with another top Class of 2023 target, GG Jackson.

Here's a highlight video of Cunningham from Sunday night. Mgbako finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds for the GSB team. Dereck Lively, after a big performance earlier in the weekend, was quiet in this matchup.

Some quick internet sleuthing. His name is Reese Woodbury, and based on his instagram he is now focusing on golf. There are also some pictures of him when younger playing basketball with older players.Quote:

Not sure why this is in the 2024 thread. Bronny is class of 2023 while the Boozer boys (Cameron Boozer is said to be the better of the two) are in class of 2025.Quote:

As for which I would rather see at Duke... while Bronny carries a "cool" factor that is hard to resist, I think winning matters more than anything else and, based on early reports, it looks like the Boozer twins, especially Cameron, will be better prospects.
That said, because he is 2 years ahead, Bronny is more of a known commodity. Who knows if the Boozers will even be top 100 recruits in 3+ years.
I'll take all three of them, please.

Wanted to see if anyone would catch that !
It turns out that Naasir Cunningham did NOT make it to Duke this past weekend for a visit. However, he did announce via twitter that he received an official offer from HCIW Scheyer and the staff.
