Duke Recruiting General Discussion

[Si6hts]

So maybe we do need to lock up Christie over Keels - not that the Athletic is the al-mighty, but def don't see Keels on that list.

I personally don't think it's a big deal either way. I expect Steward to be back as a Sophomore, and I still like Keels as a multi-year player.

I don't think Steward is going to be what a lot of people are expecting. I don't expect him to start next year. Goldwire will get the nod over him at the 2 if it comes to that.

Steward is like 140 pounds. I think he'll be back. Sorry but no way is he 180.

Based on what? Are you a carnival weight guesser? When was the last time you even saw an up close photo of him?

Duke had the 1st visit and the entire day to ourselves.

He also has physically been on Duke's campus.

He has officially visited Duke, UNC, Tennessee, Gonzaga, and Kentucky.

A well-known poster (17-year tenure) on Rupp Rafters says he doubts Paolo ends up at Kentucky.

If Paolo comes to Duke with AJ and Baldwin, look the fuck out.

He's heavily favored to attend Washington according to 247

Most of those CB picks are from a long time ago.

WOOHOO, can't wait! Top 5!!!

 

[sjsj2448]

Will be interesting to see the schools Jonathan names as his finalists.

I would guess Georgia, Auburn, UK, . . . Duke for suspense.

Nobody knows anything about this recruitment, though.

 

[Slap the Floor]

it looks like we may lessening our involvement in Max Christie.

If Chandler and Banchero go to UNC K should honestly retire.

 

[sjsj2448]

Duke is scheduling a virtual visit with Chandler this weekend.

I hope the class will be . . .

Chandler, Christie, Griffin, Baldwin, Banchero

I would place money on that. I am confident.

I agree with everyone aside from Banchero - just can't get a feeling on his recruitment, but clearly does seem intrigued by Duke.

Here's my thinking:

1. Duke was his first and only virtual visit the first week.
2. He said Duke seems "bigger and badder" than other schools
3. He has already visited (he was here with Griffin)
4. We can point to Bagley, Carter, Carey, and Zion as "bigs" and "stars" in recent years.
5. He wants to play with Kennedy Chandler, who has called Duke his dream school
6. Duke seems to be in love with Banchero per everything I've read.

He is the one I'm least confident in to be sure. But I like our chances.

It appears that Duke, UNC, and Kentucky are all in on the potential package deal between Kennedy Chandler and Paolo Banchero.

This package deal is too big to lose. Duke can't lose this, especially to UNC.

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

Is UNC winning that package deal realistic? I would think not.
