several people aren’t committing until spring
Will the Kentucky Duke game have much bearing on decisions
 
We win and we know the brackets will br preset to meet them in final four...the recruits will see top notch players playin team basketball like a thing of beauty vs 4 ball dominant players mean mugging and flopping trying to get cheap fouls on our bigs. Arguing w refs saying they were fouled with their version of grayson 'tripper' allen I was almost murdered when I charged into them UK playears chest with their feet planted. The recruits will know that they won't want to follow up e...UK will be vilified on all eson channels and their talking heads.
Cal will jump on a Segway and speed around Rupp
 
I dunno about the game itself.

I think if Duke has one more "midnight madness" event like last year, then their recruiting could take a hit more so than it already has, imo.

I know it "seemed" to work out for them going into THIS season, but I don't know how long they can work this schtick. Maybe I'm "just not feeling these guys." #PatrickPattersonVoice

This last recruiting class was just dying to sign up for that.

How does a grown ass man like Zion pick that? Reminds of the scene from the movie “White Chicks” when that Vanessa Carlton song came on in the car.

It will be like us watching the Lakers-Celtics Christmas game this year.

At that point, I think all the major players in recruiting will know where they're heading, so the game won't matter from a decision standpoint.

It looks like a bunch of male cheerleaders hyping up the crowd, what a joke

The comments are hilarious. The Duke account had to reply it was so bad.

Or it could be the lack of Capel's money bags that will effect Duke's recruiting more than a single basketball game against UK.

Yep. FBI outed the aau agent shoe connection. Pushed capel out of town to put distance between him and duke.

Thats the difference maker

[roll]I’m sure that caption meant to say “BLOWS harder than anyone else”
 
I'm not sure Coach K can take many more L's honestly. If Kentucky beats them badly, possibly exposing Duke as a team with too many redundant positions, it could be another nail in the coffin.

Media is already wondering why Duke's recruiting is suffering, while alo recognizing Calipari's recent warpath.

Coach K needs a successful season. He needs a good tournament run and he absolutely needs this team to be cohesive and not leave their single year with problems like Duval and Trent had... A loss to Kentucky would hurt all three areas.
