Player Zion Williamson

[bdotling]

A poster on the Duke rivals free board says ZION to DUKE. "Per sources." He doesn't appear to be a troll based on the responses, but TIFWIW.

I can't imagine K and Capel losing out on someone they really want to Clemson or little USC.

Also, the 8:15 announcement time is in conflict with the Kentucky/Florida game start time tomorrow.

I am excited.

Good point, K and Capel reserve losing out to these schools on the court or in the tourney where it really matters

If it’s Duke I’ll post a picture of the hole I put in my wall.

Jones, Barrett, Cam, Zion, DeL. Would be pretty wild to see. Rebounding would be insane again.

 

[dukeman92]

I don't think it's going to be Duke. I've stated for a while that I believe he is going to Clemson, though I agree with Topher that South Carolina is right there.

 

[CMon85]

If we got him I'd project us once again having the #1 ranked offense, a top 20 rebounding team, a more improved outside shooting team and like a 80th ranked D.

This seems like a recruitment that UK could clo$e ea$ily.

Or Duke. Let's be real.

Remember Topher's comment a while back about the cap space?

Didn't you quit the board in a huff?

You could see that? I could have sworn it was only directed at me.

Axe, which breed of dog do you most resemble? Also, unrelated, what’s your favorite number?

 

[uncy12]

Every time UNC is in a recruitment like this, I always manage to convince myself UNC will win out even though my brain tells me a one and done isn’t picking UNC with Roy’s history of keeping players longer.

 

[rhfarmer]

No one's keeping Zion in college, @uncy12

Plus, UNC would have to play him. They don't have the high level depth they've had in year's past to hide someone like they did with McAdoo.

 

[deepdarkblue]

If Zion chooses UNC, that will dispel all the rumors that his recruitment was shady, right? Because everybody knows ROY DOESN'T PLAY THAT GAME!

 

[uncy12]

I hadn’t heard Zion’s recruitment was shady, all I’ve heard in this recruitment is Clemson. I sorta just think it’s a smoke screen. I refuse to believe a recruit like this is turning down 4 blue bloods to play for Brad Brownell

Shadiness was mentioned a few times during the summer AAU season.

The Clemson thing makes even less sense if you've heard his interviews and even halfway believe he isn't a total liar, where he talks about how he wants to play for a program that has a record of helping their players build their brand.

 

[Topher]

I dunno, I think the Williamson camp has been very upfront about their costs

 

[torontoduke]

I thought shoes were a factor

 

[uncy12]

Clemson rivals board heavily hinting that Zion already told Clemson’s staff he’s committing to them

 

[deepdarkblue]

Brad Brownell, Builder of Brands.

 

[CMon85]

Doesn't someone here have to suck another posters toes if we get Zion?

 

[rhfarmer]

Anyone know if Capel set up Zion's offshore account yet?

This is so exciting, like the early days of eBay bidding.
