This is an extremely well written profile on Jayson Tatum by some Boston area writers:

https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/...ssion-great/zsHl5BDFBgaD4R3LsesmAM/story.html

Also confirms what we thought, that Tatum gave a silent verbal to Duke way back in April and that he was never considering St. Louis even when he committed publicly in July, despite @Slap the Floor's sources telling him otherwise

“I just talked to Brad Stevens,” Krzyzewski told him. “I think they might trade their pick. I think you should go to Boston for a workout.”

K must have told Stevens when he was retiring and told him the job was his and Steven accepted. That's why Capel left.

 

[aiw]

I also like the implication that K told the FAA or the airports or whatever to go fuck themselves, he's risking his life to see Jayson Tatum today, not tomorrow.

Does K cry every time a recruit commits?

Slap’s St. Louis buddy had always been a great source in the past though.

He cried when Duval committed, but for a different reason.

 

[bdotling]

I remember hearing he also cried when Scheyer committed too

Wonder how much more K would have cried had he known that Tatum was only going to lead him to the second round of the NCAAT.

Not his fault. In fact I thought Tatum was one of the few players here that was too criticized.

Street cred

Identifies with Hood because he vomits before debates.

I love QC so much it almost makes me want the Warriors to win.

Almost.

Benedict Bil-nord, amirite?

Benedict Bil-nord, amirite?

This response would have been perfect if bdotling posted it.

 

[rome8180]

Maybe they will surprise him with an honorary degree and he can finally live his dream.

Brand is the first player to make it in who spent two years or less at Duke. Jason Williams, a graduate in three years, is the only other non-four-year player to make it in. I expect Marvin Bagley III to be inducted into the Duke athletics hall of fame in a few years.

The complete men's basketball list:

Shane Battier
Grant Hill
Jason Williams
Bobby Hurley
Christian Laettner
Danny Ferry
Tommy Amaker
Mark Alarie
Johnny Dawkins
Mike Gminsky
Gene Banks
Lefty Driesell
Bernie Janicki
Randy Denton
Jim Spanarkel
Steve Vacendak
Mike Lewis
Bob Verga
Ed Koffenberger
Harry Councilor
Art Heyman
Jack Marin
Jeff Mullins
Dick Groat
Bob Gantt
Gordon Carver

Couldn't get out of 2nd round last year. Not enough talent around him.

Sindarius Thornwell better.
