    Here is a video shot ONE WEEK AGO in which he talks about the 10 finalists on his list. Duke is not one of them. Ha! In fairness, toward the end of the interview he says that the moment he knows where he wants to go he will commit, no messing around once he has made a decision. Kid was 100% honest about that!!

    The video begins with some nice highlights including a couple deep threes and some sick blocked shots.

    Definitely have to shout out to our newest lead Recruiter for 2020, his AAU teammate, Jalen Johnson. It’s awesome how vocal he’s been.

    Great!! Now are we still in pursuit of the two big centers about whom much has been written since Kessler made the mistake of committing to the cheats?? Don't know how many schollys we have left.

    Awesome pickup, and amazing how we were able to swoop in so late and land him. At a surface level, his game appears very similar to Coleman. Could someone with more knowledge than me (which is basically anyone) describe if they would be likely to share the floor together, or to split time at the 4? I love that we’re stocking up on tough, hard-nosed, likely multi-year guys to complement the OAD’ers.

    At one point he was considering a reclass to 2019 as per his USA Post and he said Duke was one of the schools talking to him about it.

    Is this still in consideration?

    Any other basketball players from WVa since Captain Howard Hurt 1958-61 and the Rev. Buzzy Harrison (1961-64)?

    A little too late for that? School has already started for more than a month. I don't see the point of starting in January either as he didn't have the summer to prep and jell with the team.

    Yeah, been watching and re-watching the recent ESPN documentary on the 1986 Duke class. Bilas and Alarie fit that description well.
