Player Derryck Thornton

[DurhamSon]

Lol, he's never gonna set foot on their campus. "Uh, gee Coach Pitino, I have this test thing next week. Let's uh... you know what, i'll call you."

 

[rome8180]

Uh-oh.

He's reading this and he's put off by your confidence.

 

[ChibCU]

8-)

LIPO, 91/9, "If Thornton is who he says he is," etc.

 

[sivartrenrag]

How gesticulated was he when he visited campus? Very?

 

[ZackM]

To Duke for 2015.

Excellent.

 

[deeyoukayeee]

We gon defense next year.

 

[CK86]

Sweet! Not only an elite point guard but also fills a huge need.

 

[rhfarmer]

Welcome to Duke Li'l Tank

 

[CK86]

I'm also glad we can revive the "Thank Thornton" references.

 

[rome8180]

If anyone wants to waste hours of their time, here are a bunch of Findlay Prep games to watch. I recommend starting with the one against Our Savior, since I know that's a decent game and Thornton played really well in it.

Some stuff from Twitter:

Tight with Tyus Battle (Zagoria).
Has not seen much high-level coaching (Givony).

 

[rome8180]

Does Findlay not have high-level coaching?

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

DraftExpress/Givony considers him to be very raw with huge upside, due in part to poor coaching in high school.

 

[aiw]

LOL. He wanted to go to Kentucky so much he's graduating early to go to Duke

 

[DurhamSon]

Nate James not in the inhome photo posted on TDD. As expected, Scheyer has easily passed him as an assistant in one season's time.

We're choosing recruits and telling them when to come to Duke. K is officially on top of the recruiting mountain.

That guy is an idiot.

It's pretty remarkable what he's doing, hope the recruiting push can keep going.

 

[Slap the Floor]

I wasn't around for it, but to those that were, how does this recruiting run compare to the run K was on in the late 90's, early 2000's?
