Scalabrine proved it, too

The Anthony Black business that is discussed on the front page is distressingly familiar to Texans. The UIL has a long and sordid history of denying perfectly reasonable transfer requests for thoroughly specious reasons. Just ask dormer Duke player Kyra Lambert, who was forced to sit out a year after transferring to a school with an IB program from one without it.
Somebody needs to litigate one of these.
Recruiting person Andrew Slater is reporting that Brewster NH teammates Taylor Bol Bowen and Matas Buzelis have both received offers from HCIW Jon Scheyer and the Duke coaching staff.
Buzelis recently shot up the recruiting rankings and is now #4 in the 247Sports rankings. He's a multi-dimensional player that play and defend at least 1-4 if not all 5 positions. Bowen is a versatile forward with length, a good-looking jumper, and a high skillset.

Buzelis is considered a Toni Kukoc style of player. A 6'10" player with purely guard skills. The knocks on him are that he's REALLY skinny, and his shooting form underutilizes his height/length. He shoots from his chest, a really low release point that allows smaller players to contest. Basically the opposite of Matthew Hurt's shooting style.
Bowen is more of a true forward, who is also really lanky at 6'9". He's slightly less skinny than Buzelis, and far less skilled with the ball in his hands. Interestingly, he too has a really low release point on his shot. It's clear why Buzelis is rated higher given his skill set at that height. Not that Bowen is a bad prospect of course; he's still a 5-star guy. Just more of a top-25 guy than a top-5 guy.
Obviously it would be nice to get one or both of these guys. And I'm sure each will fill out a decent amount in the next 1.5 years before arriving on a college campus.
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!
Go To Hell carolina, Go To Hell!

Hurt also came and went with a slow release.
Any news on Gregory Jackson's recruiting ? Duke offered but I haven't seen any movement for or against a commitment.
Class of 2023 Sean Stewart, a bouncy 6'8" forward from Windmere, Florida, will be making an official visit to Duke the first weekend of November according to Joe Tipton. Stewart is considered a top 25-50 ish player and is part of the Each 1 Teach 1 AAU program. I couldn't find a ton of information out there about Stewart, but I did see him in this highlight video below (#15 in white). Stewart has recently completed official visits to Georgetown, Michigan, and Ohio State and may have also visited Harvard and/or Stanford. The family appears to value education.
Team Durant Director of Recruiting reporting that Coaches Scheyer and Smith are in today to visit with 6'9" 5-star KJ Evans of Monteverde Academy. Kentucky is definitely in the mix with him as well. Here's hoping another Team Durant player named Dariq Whitehead can help with this one . . .
Hope we still have a chance with Gregory Jackson from South Carolina. He sounds like a potential Elton Brand Karl Malone power forward. He will likely add weight in the next 2 years.
