Duke tried to bring in his more highly-touted prep teammate Jimmy Miller but lost him to Virginia.
The best-ever player from Princeton, West Virginia was Rod Thorn, a player Duke tried for but lost, this time to West Virginia.
Yep and we got even. I was in Indoor Stadium when 6th-ranked West Virginia with Rod Thorn lost to Duke 111-71. Twas in 1962, I believe. And, no, I didn't look it up.
