Player Karl Towns

[NCCUknow]

I think he is still in diapers, but coming to ctc. Yay.

Obviously early but from all the articles I've read I think we are in good standings for him.

Saw that on realgm, definitely an encouraging development.

Yep, big time prospect at this point. Although its EXTREMELY early. Some feel Duke will be the final destination for Karl should K stay around a good while longer.

Well, we all know K will retire if Jabari doesn't come to Duke, so...

He's UK bound.

Karl will be attending Kentucky's Midnight Madness and Duke's.

Completely going based on picture but he looks way to nice to take Cal's money bag.

A few quotes from Towns on his Duke visit:
http://zagsblog.com/duke/karl-towns-talks-duke-visit/

Asked how me might fit in at Duke should he opt to go there, Towns said, “I think I would fit in well. With Coach K having Ryan Kelly this year shows he can work with big men at any position and make the most of their talent. “Also, since he coached the USA Team, his work with Kevin Love could help me with my game.”

He relates the most to Ryan Kelly and Kevin Love. This is good for Duke.

TDD won't allow those comparisons.

I'd say more of a Shaq or a Kevin Garnett type. Maybe a bit of Derrick Rose too.

I was thinking more of a cross between Tom Chambers and Marty Nessley, with some George Burgin mixed in.

Latest Steve Clark interview certainly makes him sound like a UK lean. Had some positive things to say about Duke, too, of course. But he seems enamored with Cal.

I got the opposite from that interview. Time will tell... I think he ends up at Duke though

 

[rome8180]

I did like what he had to say about individual plays. I LOVED how he noticed a play Nigeria had run in the Olympics and asked Coach K about it. Coach K explained why Duke was running that play. I can almost sense Coach K's giddiness at the idea that a high school kid had noticed he was running a play one of his Olympic oppnoents had run. I can also feel his heartbreak that, despite their intense connection, he's chosen to play for Cal.

Towns is the one that played on Calipari's Dominican Republic team, right? Or was that someone else?

 

[dukebluedevils05]

That was Towns.

 

[NOD]

He's Uk until proven otherwise. No reason to even think about it.

If anyone wants to tune in for his Kentucky announcement, it will be this Tuesday, December 4.

Never understood why we had a separate thread for a Kentucky player.
