    Yes, not sure exactly how the Tre Jones thread from last September got revived to talk about Romeo Langford. Confusing.

    Believe kAzE was referencing Tre Jones, who this thread was initially about before my Langford post. I think Duke will gladly take both, though.

    Oops - Just saw the comments above! I revived it because it says 2018 Recruiting and was the only 2018 recruiting thread I could find.

    Thanks--that makes sense; I didn't focus on the "2018 Recruiting" in the title.

    Is there a general 2018 Duke hoops recruiting thread? The title of this thread seems to indicate this is where one would go to discuss 2018 recruiting, Tre Jones-centric or otherwise, no?

    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Brothers are OK, it is the trainer/uncles we need to watch for.

    Actually, we might vet the entire Montague clan, just to be sure.

    No can spork. Always nice to have a literary reference or two.

    In their defense, Tarheels are more familiar with the Capulets, though they prefer those fast-acting geltabs.

    So that's 3 offers for 2018: PF Marvin Bagley, PG Tre Jones, and SG Romeo Langford

    At this point, it's incredibly hard to predict which players will stick around for more than a year or two, but the following players will be eligible, at least (excluding obvious one-and-done players):

    Seniors: Jeter, Kennard, and Vrankovic
    Juniors: DeLaurier, Jackson, and White
    Sophomores: No idea

    I am really hoping the coaches can get a commit from a good 2-4 year point guard in 2017. We'll probably target some less heralded (not top 10) post players in 2017-18 to replace Jeter and Vrankovic, too. In other news, Bagley has a perfect 1.000 rating from 247sports. He appears to be one of the best recruits to come along in a while, up there in the Jabari/Wiggins or better category. Here's hoping he picks Duke and that we can surround him with some experienced guys like Kennard, Jeter, and DeLaurier.

    I really like Devon Dotson from Providence Day School in Charlotte (full disclosure: my former HS). He's a very good athlete, has above-average handles and plays under control. Plays a lot like the pre-injury D Rose - explosive, quick first step, excellent finisher around the rim. Offered by UNC, NC State, and Florida among others. He would be a great get as a 2-3 yr pg.

    I believe the staff has been keeping an eye on Quade Green. He's #39 on 247's composite ranking so he would be a multi-year type player but still a very talented kid.

    When recruiting that far ahead, players ratings are likely to change based on performance. So a #39 might be a whole range from 10 to 50. I believe what the coaches see is that he has the potential to be rated higher than #39.

    Take this for what it's worth, but I just talked to a very good recruiting guy today and he said (1) that Quade Green is looking like the best pure playmaker on the AAU circuit this spring and (2) Langford grew up a Duke fan

    Don't make too much of either observation, but both are interesting to me ...

    This is true but he's class of 2017 so it's not terribly far out. If it weren't for Bolden we would have moved on completely to 2017 recruiting by now. But yes, from things I've seen recently I think he is on the rise.

    So why are we talking about Green pretty extensively in the 2018 recruiting thread?

    For metro Atlanta Duke fans, Romeo and his 17U Eric Gordon All-Stars AAU team are playing (at least) 4 games this weekend at the Suwanee Sports Academy(full schedule at adidasuprising.com).
