Is Daniel Orton a recruiting target?

That is the leading title to a colum in Rivals, but I'm not a subscriber and was wondering if anybody had some info about this kid.

I hope so. This kid sounds absolutely beast. Might be hard to get him out the Big 12 country. But if we did it with Shelden, we can do it again.

My understanding is that he's a player Duke is in contact with and is watching.

But I also understand that no offer has been made.

Check out this clip from You-Tube of Daniel Orton... it is so worth your time! Watching this makes me pray Duke will land a coveted big man in 2009. GTHC

He missed the dunk.

It's not very likely he'll get a Duke offer nor is he really interested in Duke. Kid's developed a pretty bad reputation. I'd be very very shocked if Duke offers.

What in that clip makes him a coveted big man? All I saw was a showboat move that resulted in 0 points and a delayed game!

I did not call DO a coveted big man (even though he is a 5 star recruit). However, I do miss seeing a dominant post presence on the Duke rooster, and it's hard to argue against the fact that Duke would benefit from a player with similar size and strength as DO. Even though DO missed the Dunk, the clip was fun to watch. That is all.

Does the Duke rooster wake up Coach K in the morning?
