Also, we didn't exactly handle things well with his AAU coach. Backed off Gak, didn't really pursue Randolph, and did whatever the **** we did with Green. (BTW, even if we land Duval, I think we lost out on that one. But that's a different discussion.)
I have never seen Slater say we are on the outside looking in. He has said things like "nobody knows right now" and "wait and see" and "hopefully Duke steps it up with Duval and Bamba."
We'll just have to wait and see what happens. I wouldn't be shocked with Duke or Kentucky. I would be shocked with Texas or Michigan.
For full disclosure, Mo is my favorite recruit in the cycle, and it isn't close.
I take it you aren't a 247 VIP subscriber.
I actually am. Please copy/paste where Slater has ever said we are on the outside looking in.
I have no idea why this board is so pessimistic. Jerry Meyer, a guy certainly not known for Duke puffery, even said on November 30th that Bamba is a toss up between Duke and Kentucky.
