Per DraftExpress, Trevon Duval (#1 PG in 2017 HS Class) Commits To Duke

[JohnnyGentle]

This is mostly true though Winslow himself has admitted he was all about him when he got to Duke. His only goal was to do what was best for him and him only to get to the NBA. It took the staff a few months to convince him believe in the team concept that ultimately helped him and everyone else achieve their goals.

oh, right. that's why okafor was never asked to rebound, defend, pass, run, or try

because winslow's selfishness was a bigger priority

take that jive bullshit somewhere else

That team did not look so great in January.

he experimented with zone for a while, then decided to kick the rapist off the team

masterful

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

The pieces fit together perfectly for Duke this year too.

True Point Guard: Check (Duval)
True Shooting Guard: Check (Allen)
Versatile Wing/SF: Check (Trent or Knox)
Top Big Man: Check (Carter)
Rim Protector: Check (Bolden)

If Jackson returns, Duke will cut down the nets in 2018 almost assuredly.

Bolden a rim protector? Lmao only thing he protected this year was the end of the bench

 

[Bluesnky]

Say what you want, but Coach K's OAD track record isn't that great. He may have a better title per ratio than Cal, but Cal has the Final4's to back up his ability.

So far, 2015 is NOT the norm for Duke.. rather losing by the 2nd weekend is.

Second weekend? That's generous.

Why would a Duke fan come to a UK site, start this thread, and then argue with everyone?

Compared to Duke and UNC sites, this one is (relatively) open minded about stuff like this. Pretty cool since this is where all the action is off-season.

Lol.
That seat on the end of the bench didn't have a scratch on it.

I'm just telling you what Winslow said. Make of it what you want.

You're*

I was not an English major.

 

[CELTICAT]

Duke fans, many years ago, hurled crazy insults at JR Reid. Said he was illiterate and stupid among other things. Now they are celebrating signing a guy that hasn't been in a classroom in three years.

 

[UK HEMINGWAY]

I have followed basketball recruiting very closely for nearly 15 years and while I think Duval is a good player I honestly have no idea how he is in the top 5 of any rankings.

I think Green is better suited for college, he's all about the team. Could care less what he's ranked, i love him at UK for the next two years. Winner and leader.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

So, has it not been confirmed yet? Could Duke be holding off until they know he will be eligible?

 

[Bluesnky]

Quite possibly, although I'd be surprised if there hasn't been very close coordination between the admissions department and whatever schoolwork Duval is doing.

Lol. No one thinks he won't be admitted to school. The question is whether he will get through the NCAA clearinghouse.

Side question: would he be a summer or fall enrollee? Could make a big difference in his performance.

 

[FilsonCat]

Clearing a player to play at Duke? I am sure the clearinghouse is going to dot every I and cross every t. No stone will be left unturned.
