Might the Big Aristotle become a proud Duke father?
    Shaq has the potential to be one of the all-time great Duke player parents. Does Barkley have a son that plays well? He would be even better.

    Imagine if Kenny Smith had a son that chose Duke!

    While I love Justin Robinson (I've met him in person and he is a great kid) there is a wide gulf between what the recruiting experts think about Justin and what they think about Shareef O'Neal. I'm not 100% certain but I believe that Justin didn't get any major college scholarship offers. Shareef is one of the top 30 or so recruits in the class of 2018 with offers from big time programs like UCLA, USC, Baylor, and others. It is still very early in his recruitment, but it is clear that expectations for him would be significantly higher than Justin Robinson (I'd love for Justin to exceed expectations in a big way, like his father did).

    he seems to have decent perimeter skills, for whatever a mixtape is worth. looks more like a new age forward who could play the 3 or 4 than a natural post player like his pops.

    Marvin Bagley trims his list

    The number one recruit, in 2018, included the Blue Devils on his final list of six. I don't know much about his game, but he's already 6'10" so what's not to like

    Scout Releases its Revised 2018 Top 100

    Scout released its updated list of prospects for 2018, and the top of the list features a lot of Duke targets. Below I've listed the players Duke has offered for 2018 and their rank in the new Scout Top 100 list overall and position ranking.

    • Marvin Bagley, 6'11" PF, #1 Overall, #1 PF
    • Zion Williamson, 6'7" SF/PF, #2 Overall, #2 PF
    • Romeo Langford, 6'5" SG, #3 Overall, #1 SG
    • Cameron Reddish, 6'6", SF #4 Overall, # SF
    • Tre Jones, 6'2" PG, #25 Overall, #7 PG


    So yeah, Duke is looking at the top players in the 2018 class at the moment. I've read a lot of talk about how this is a down year for recruiting in comparison to 2016 and 2017. Still, it looks like the staff is prioritizing the best players.

    I'm not worried about that aspect. If Williamson starts to show a lot of interest in Maryland, UCLA, California, etc. then maybe.

    I'd be shocked in Tre doesn't go to Duke. Big Brother + PG needs + Royal Duke Treatment = Magic.

    Yes, but he also had to do school work in between basketball development.

    All four coaches visited the #1 player in 2018 Marvin Bagley last night. Coaches have been on the road for a few days straight now. I'm guessing they trust Amile to hold down the fort pretty well by now.

    I haven't heard anything about Bagley reclassifying but he's got the Josh Jackson age thing going on. He would be 19.5 years old when he started college if he stays in 2018.

    Troubling Recruiting Development with Top 2018 Target Zion Williamson

    The talented forward is scheduled to make an unofficial visit to Western Kentucky soon. WKU's new head coach Rick Stansbury makes John Calipari look like a saint. Opposing coaches and even writers feel comfortable openly questioning Stansbury's ethics when it comes to recruiting. It's possible that Duke may not want to be involved in Williamson as a result. That's just speculation on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if Duke suddenly cools on the #2 player in the country. The program doesn't need or want to be involved in shady dealings.

    As long as we treat Williamson honorably and he does not accept any improper benefits from WKU, I see no problem here. He is going to check out a hot coach who makes a strong recruiting pitch. It does not automatically mean the kid will fall prey to illegal recruiting inducements.
    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Per Twitter, Williamson has canceled the trip to WKU.
