Duke Recruiting General Discussion

[rome8180]

So basically all our recruits, even guys we're no longer looking at (like Harvey), were good. Except for Trent.

2 questions:

1. Can Zion Williamson defend?
2. Can Zion Williamson hit wide-open jump shots at a decent clip?

If the answer to both are yes, offer him now and prioritize him in 2018 class. That means he's almost as much as a sure thing to produce on the college level as RJ Barrett is in 2019. You can never have too many immediate impact bona fide NBA lottery picks.

I think Coach K is making a mistake on the recruiting trail. Needs to allow his assistants more time to recruit and less time with USA basketball. What's the point of other head coaches being involved if you're just gonna have all Duke coaches with USA basketball?

This is 2009 all over again, except Kenny Boynton has evolved into the perfect modern rim protecting Bamba.

 

[dub_seahawks]

Bamba won't be going to Florida, but he also won't be going to Duke. Carter will be a fine consolation prize for college play.

Bamba won't be going to Florida, but he also won't be going to Duke. Carter will be a fine consolation prize for college play.

Bamba will more than likely attend Duke for his one season.

I look forward to hearing more about this soon.

New scout rankings:

Ayton #1
Bamba #2
Carter #4
Knox #7
Trent #12
Green #25
Gak: NR


4,7,12,25 would understandably be a let down of a class and put K on the hotseat. Bamba or bust, please.

The Olympics has killed Duke recruiting once again.

 

[deepdarkblue]

We offered Peewee Herman

[DurhamSon]

He couldn't help himself, had to offer at least one white player.

 

[Pantone287]

Stop fucking offering white SGs.

K should know that we're not allowed to have those by now.

 

[deepdarkblue]

He looks highly hateable. I guess he's the official team lightning rod. He'll need to trip somebody early, just to set the tone for his Duke career.

 

[rome8180]

No white people at all, unless they have the athleticism of Czyz and the competitiveness of Laettner.

So basically, only Grayson Allen.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Jermaine Samuels in, Deng Gak out.





3s, dunks, blocks, no midrange. Whoever put that tape together must have been trying to appeal to the analytics crowd.

Reminds me a lot of Sulaimon, proven rapist, in that video. I hope his extra size and vert means he won't fall down and miss a layup every time he tries to finish at the rim.

 

[physicsfactor]

Slater picked Nova for Samuels, so I assume Duke is not getting him.

 

[aiw]

 

[Pantone287]

We'll remember this week as the beginning of the end of the golden age of Duke recruiting.

 

[rome8180]

Lol. That was uneventful.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Someday soon we'll be battling it out with UNC for 3.5 star recruits.
