Duke

[bailey777]

I find it Interesting when we were recruiting Kyle F he was ranked like 80th. He verbals to Duke and suddenly become like top 25. Now they moved him up to #2 and all the top three are going to Duke. It is amazing how quickly your ranking jumps once you decide to go to Duke.

He was already a fast riser by the time we had offered as had everybody else. Limited AAU visibility in the summer of 2020 due to the pandemic caused many rankings to stall. Think anyone who saw Filipowski play knew they were getting a steal. Not that many guys with that kind of size and skill set.

he moved up 3 spots, the other guy 8 and the other guy not at all. Doesn't seem like huge jumps. They're Duke, they get really good prospects! I noticed our guy moved up 4 spots to 16 overall!

Had heard that his official visit to IU really did not go well, but never got an explanation of where that came from. Anyone here know anything about it??

Didn't Duke offer in the days/week leading up to his OV? I think once Duke offered it was over.

It helps to have a sports network (ESPN) recruit and promote for you. I saw that earlier and was disgusted with it.
It's all about the Benjamins.

But the restaurant building itself lacked a lot.
