Still kindaabout the Kennard decision,that's what I get for thinking somebody is a lock..Less than 2 hours from campus,dude was practically an in state recruit ....
Would be awesome to see...already falling in love with Oubre's lefty stroke. But don't get your hopes up.
Yeahhhh...as said above, don't get your hopes up.If Embiid were to stay for a few more years Self and the extra action would do wonders to his game. He probably won't do any of that and will just go to the league
UNC looking really nice next year if JMM returns....So, Marcus Paige is returning.
Still kinda
He's 13 and in 6th grade?
/\ crap like that is everything wrong with the sport right now.
Baby Lebron nickname...being all over the internet for a dunk. Now if that kid doesn't end up being Lebron everyone's going to be in the College Basketball Post in 2021 nitpicking him during every game he doesn't score 52 points in and saying he's overhyped.
And I just read that kid is 13 years old

FRANKLIN, Ohio – Duke may have suffered a devastating upset loss in the NCAA Tournament Friday but Mike Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils bounced back with a big win on the recruiting trail Monday.
Franklin (Ohio) 5-star junior guard Luke Kennard gave Duke his verbal commitment during a ceremony at his high school Monday evening, picking the Blue Devils over Kentucky, Ohio State, Louisville, Michigan, North Carolina and Florida.
The 6-foot-5 guard, who is ranked as the No. 15 overall prospect and second-ranked shooting guard according to the 247Sports Composite, averaged 40 points, 10 rebounds and four assists per game en route to being named Ohio Gatorade Player of the Year and Ohio Mr. Basketball by the Associated Press.
Although he went on a number of unofficial visits to various schools, Kennard made his only official visit to Durham Mar. 8 to watch the Blue Devils exact revenge on archrival North Carolina.
It was that visit, Kennard said, that put Duke over the top.
"When I went down there on my official visit I kind of just felt it," Kennard said following his announcement. "I felt it in my heart and I had a peace about my decision. Being around Coach K and the players I could see that it was a special place. Duke is a big-time stage with a small town atmosphere."
The Duke staff made Kennard a top recruiting priority, dispatching coaches to watch him on a number of occasions this season and it paid off in the form of the Blue Devils' first 2015 commitment. Krzyzewski and assistant Steve Wojociechowski even flew into Franklin Monday to receive the good news in person.
Kennard said Duke is a great fit both athletically and academically.
"The offensive system is a great fit for me. Coach K sees me playing multiple positions," Kennard said. "[Academics] played a big part. I'll get a good education and that means a lot to me."
Kennard's Crystal Ball was 69 percent in favor of Duke.
Kennard plays against absolutely terrible HS comp. I think he's D3 in Ohio. He blew up on the circuit though so I guess he's been tested against top level guys already. Still feel like the 5 star ranking is a little lofty.
Semi considering a transfer.
