Duke Recruiting General Discussion

[skins]

Yes, if we're avoiding Zion due to potential pay for play issues, it makes total sense to pursue Arizona-connected Nas Little and former Bruce Pearl recruit E.J. Montgomery.

Louisville just lost their 2 studs in the 2018 class.

I thought the Zion stuff was about not wanting to play the LeBron role with two other wings. My bad.

Making the leap that RJ attends Duke, the Devils need a role playing big man and possibly another shooter for 2018/19, IMO.

I think shooting will be ok with Jones, O'Connell, Tucker, Barrett but I definitely agree on another big being a must get unless Bolden returns. Bolden and Barrett would be good enough to contend IMO.

Jones fr
O'Connell so
Barrett fr
Reddish fr
Bolden jr

Or slide Barrett to the 2 and put in DeL at the 4.

I'm having a hard time visualizing how that roster would function without a minutes breakdown.

Nas Little and E.J. Montgomery have opened things back up due to this scandal.

If the Zion stuff is true, I think we could go after one or both of those guys.

You'd retire the numbers of Ed Warner and Ed Roman if they won us a National Title. You have such a shortsighted mindset.

 

[rhfarmer]

Could someone make a list of all the recruits affected by the recruiting scandal that would be good fits for Duke?

 

[aiw]

Kareem Rush
Jaron Rush
Korleone Young
Mike Miller
Corey Maggette

 

[rhfarmer]

Pump Brothers FTW!

 

[rome8180]

Maybe the preppiest player we have recruited, which is saying something.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Oh, I saw a tweet and thought it was a football player.

 

[deepdarkblue]

K playing it safe, going with the white kid. Because no one would bother offering them money for basketball.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Here's almost nine minutes of Joey Baker. Just for fun, go to 7:54 first.
Other than that, he's really good at blocking shots by 5 foot tall guards (this seemed to happen about ten times). He seems slow, but it's hard to tell from these clips.
He seems about as fit as the senior ladies at water aerobics class, but Duke is very good with fixing that.
He could be a good multiyear player.
He is not Luke Kennard.

 

[deepdarkblue]

This one is better, more shooting.

 

[skins]

Definitely not Kennard. I'd say he's closer to a Jordan Tucker who can dunk.

 

[deepdarkblue]

I wonder if this has anything to do with Bryan Antoine.

 

[skins]

Why would it? Antoine is a combo guard, Baker would be a 3/4 at Duke. If anything, this closes the door on Wendell Moore.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Or Scottie Lewis, but I think Slater has said that Lewis to Duke wasn't going to happen anyway? Lewis and Antoine both have Arizona offers, but I have no idea how hard Zona has been pushing for either.

I'm just looking at anything that happens in recruiting now and trying to guess if it's FBI investigation related.
