Two problems with this, though... we
don't already know he loves Duke, because he recently - and very explicitly - said he currently favors OSU, when he hasn't even been there and they haven't been recruiting him nearly as hard. And second, can you picture any of the enthusiastic, all-in guys we have our program not being at all exciting about visiting Duke for the second time in HS just because they're tired or want to do something else?
I mean, 99.999% of HS basketball players would KILL for opportunity to spend a weekend inside the Duke basketball program as the honored guest and be courted by Coach K; it's not like it's "just another trip". If something like jet lag or a girlfriend is enough to kill any excitement for that, it doesn't exactly scream positive things at me, especially coupled with comments like "
a lot of the things [Coach K] was telling me were fairly true", etc. I hope I'm dead wrong, but if he doesn't appreciate the one in a million opportunity he has, let's move on to someone who will.
And Jim... I'm afraid that ship sailed a long time ago. However, I know that road like the back of my hand, so call me if you need directions!
