Bullshirt.

We may not get any particular recruit, but I promise you that Archie Miller is not in this to lose battles to anyone. He knows he will sometimes, but he is here to get what he wants, and win.

You are too good a poster to have a hangdog attitude toward Duke, or any other school.

I fully expect IUBB to start kicking @$$, on the court and with recruiting.

 

Thanks for the kick in the rear, Stu! I needed it. I am all in on Archie and think he will be a great coach here. That being said, Coach K was an unknown before and had to build his status to where it is now. He can pretty much hand pick who he gets, and Archie isn't quite on that level yet.

In the future I will take Archie against anyone, but right now when the likes of UK, Duke, and Kansas offer a kid it makes me much less confident that we'll get them. When Archie starts seeing on court success this will definitely change!

Which begs the question what will be there when K is done? It's difficult enough to replace a legend but that much more difficult if the next coach doesn't have a solid foundation. If the deals aren't in place anymore we could see a sharp decline at Duke.

That is a very solid point.

Yes.

Duke commits:

Jordan Goldwire, Shooting Guard, Class of '17

247Sports Composite

Natl Comp 378

and :

Jordan Tucker, Small forward, Class of '17

247Sports Composite

Natl Comp 78atl Comp 78 but formerly as high as #37

say "hi."

Isn't Swider a stretch four? Whereas Zion and Reddish are both more wings?

From the games I watched  Cole played more of a SF role on his AAU team and even brought the ball up the court and showed off some guard skills. Williamson, reddish, and Swider are all listed at 6'7 or 6'8 now days for me when I think of stretch 4 I think of someone in the 6"10 range

Yeah I think Swider will play either and both of 3 and 4. Seems like a perfect 3 to me, but would play 4 in small ball.

enjoying the attention

[Brass Cannon 24,064]

IU Was Kris Wilkes dream school.  K could retire or recruit over him

[MikeRoberts 6,832]

Or they recruit someone else and rescind his offer. If that's my dream school I take while it's there

Maybe he'd rather go to IU?  

[MikeRoberts 6,832]

Maybe he'd rather go to IU?  

That would be nice but then IU would likely have been his dream school. Idk

This is what I'm saying why not jump at the chance.

Shame on Crean. That's a terrible situation there. Has Grant found a landing spot yet?

I've not read anything more about him since the transfer news broke in late May.
