Evan Daniels just tweeted that Jack White has committed to Duke.

Welcome aboard, mate! I've got some hopes for this kid, I think he has chance to be really solid player in a few years. Looking forward to watching him.

Still room for Amile next year - right?

Welcome.

Duke Blue Devils have added Aussie, Jack White to their 2016 class. White is a 6-6, 230 pound wing player who has until this point played his basketball career in Australia.

The White family informed Duke Coach Mike Krzzyewski of his decision on Thursday. White will now learn future skills at the highest level of college basketball.

He joins a recruiting class that features Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum, Javin DeLaurier and Franks Jackson. Duke is still recruiting Marques Bolden as well. Bolden recently said he would be making his decision within a month.

Not sure. As it stands now, if Amile and Grayson come back, and Brandon leaves for the NBA, we'd be one over the limit with 14 scholarship players.

Jack White
Javin DeLaurier
Frank Jackson
Harry Giles
Jayson Tatum
Chase Jeter
Luke Kennard
Derryck Thornton
Antonio Vrankovic
Justin Robinson
Grayson Allen
Sean Obi
Matt Jones
Amile Jefferson

Am I missing anything?

Robinson was not brought in as a scholarship player. He happened to get one this year because we had some to spare. He will not have a scholarship next year in that scenario where Allen and Jefferson return.

Right, but now it's really either Jefferson or Bolden (or neither). There's no room for both.

Right, but now it's really either Jefferson or Bolden (or neither). There's no room for both.

Just to repeat what I was told a week ago -- if Jefferson redshirts, that eliminates the chance of getting Bolden. No guarantee of getting Bolden if Jefferson leaves -- but the chances are very good.

The source that told me this also told me that 100 percent chance of getting Jack White if Duke offered. He was right about that.

[gwlaw99]

About where would he have been ranked if he were American?

[heyman25]

Very good news. Aussie's can really play. I like his size. Let's get Bolden and bring back Amile. Next season we have a very good chance of #6. I would recommend better foot and ankle conditioning techniques. There have been too many injuries lately. I know it comes frequently in a sport like basketball,but Duke seems to have a much higher % of these injuries than many other teams.

Yeah, I can't imagine Bolden wanting to come to Duke and play very limited minutes behind Jefferson and Giles. So while it is true that the scholarship situation precludes both (assuming nobody leaves but Ingram), that is probably a moot point in practical terms.

Yeah. And I mean, healthy 5th year senior with all ACC potential vs unproven freshmen who wants to be one and done anyway... seems like a no lose scenario for us if Amile redshirts and comes back.

Not sure, but he would rank clockwise and not counter-clockwise.
