Player Jahlil Okafor

One of the most emotional Duke environments ever. Can't have hurt us, unless they decided they didn't want to go to a football school?

Seriously, I've always worried about bball recruits noticing the pitiful fan support for football.

That would be the greatest irony ever.

Well this makes me happy:

Oh shit, I love you Okafor. Tell those coaches to f*** off.

Seriously, Okafor, come prove them wrong.

I'll root for this kid wherever he lands. Duke may or may not be the best place for him, but if it isn't, it won't be for bullshit reasons. I can respect that wholeheartedly. Pretty much the polar opposite of that fat kid we wasted too much time on.

Absolutely gushing about the Duke visit.

 

[aiw]

Glad Roy's doing OK.

LOL.

Seriously though, is Roy's health issue from this summer being used by some coaches to recruit against him? Or is it more serious than publicly known and he is trying to reassure everyone? Seems like an odd way to start a conversation with a visiting recruit unless the recruit brought it up right away, even for someone who speaks in the third person.

That's about as good as it could have been for one of these blog posts. I like how we are also above the negative recruiting and how that turns him off. The weak-minded (aka Tony Porker) feed into that shit way too easily

How soon until K makes Capel bone up on pretty little liars?

Pretty sure Tony Porker eats up anything fed to him.

Well played!

This is how these recruitments go: "Let me tell you all the reasons I love Duke. [Gushing over everything about Duke]. I'm going to Kentucky."

 

[ChibCU]

This one seems different to me. But who knows, have they visited Kentucky yet?

"Coach K is like a father to me, he really understands his players and pushes them to their best. So, I'mma go play for Coach Cal because he's like that Uncle that gets you hookers and money and lets you use his cars and shit."
