Any Summer Updates...

[dbav]

I know we've been caught up with our recruiting lately, but I was curious if there are any updates on the guys already there?

I assume it has mostly been pick up games and weight training, but any info would be great. Would love to hear about anything happening with Jeter and Kennard.

Luke is back home in Ohio right now.

Uh oh.....he's transferring

OFC

 

[dukiejay]

I think Tatum arrived on campus just the other day.

Welcome to Durham, Mr. Smooth.

 

[pisgah101]

I saw Luke played pickup last night with a bunch of other college guys

Speaking of updates, has anyone heard an update on Wendell Carter? At one point I thought we would get an early commitment from him, but it doesn't look that way now because of planned visits to Harvard and UK, but that's all i know. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything else.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Haven't heard much. Gary7 said unc* has closed the gap with Duke, but you're probably wanting something based in fact.

Yea I read that too. I made a post on the favorite THR quotes thread that I do know Carter is into academics so why would he even consider UNC. Lol

Here is Carter's latest blog. Positive sign that the only coach he mentions is Capel.

Thank you. I appreciate it. Hope we can get Bamba also. Capel is the man!!

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

If we land Carter, Trent Jr & Bamba and other players we're recruiting from 2017 then we could/should have another nasty team for the 2017-18 season just like in 2014-15 and hopefully 2016-17. I love being a Duke fan.

 

[gottagonow]

Thanks for finding that. Capel is killing it! I hope he doesn't get any good offers next Spring.

And thus all of the hatred being spewed by UNC and UK towards Capel.

Tatum Captioned, "We working!!! "

 

[DukeDenver]

6'9 small forward with soft touch and good vision? Check.

 

[dbav]

What players has Luke been playing in pickup games?

Really looking for Jeter to make a jump this year. It started to click at the end of the year and with his effort level, I feel like he's gonna fight his way on the floor.

Also, how are Matt and Amile doing health wise? Same with Obi.

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

I'm still confused on the Carter/Trent Jr recruitment. They continue to say they are a package deal. Carter is a huge Duke lean, however, Jr is said to have cooled on Duke. Do I have all of this straight? It just doesn't seem to add up.

I've heard those rumors that Trent Jr has cooled on Duke. Maybe they were false or maybe they were true but he's warming back up to Duke, only time will tell. If both end up choosing Duke, which I hope they do, then it will be the third straight year that we've gotten players that were a package deal.

 

[Branswm88]

Captioned, "A new beginning...June 7th"
So it looks like he'll be on campus in a couple weeks!

I think there might have been a time where both Duke and Trent cooled on each other. That's no longer the case.

Any reason why Trent jr has cooled on Duke? I hadn't heard that so I was just curious. I know there was small talk about Carter/Trent Jr/Bamba forming a package deal together.

 

[twdukefan]

247 has both Carter and Trent going to Duke at this point, 100%; obviously this fluctuates, but should give everyone an idea where these two might stand at this point

 

[dbav]

So how about our guys that are on campus?

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Is Harry Giles on Campus?

 

[dukehokie]

Is Harry Giles on Campus?

Harry has been on and around campus for a while doing rehab. He is not taking classes this semester though as far as I know.

But I thought the geniuses at RR said he was decommiting and going to UK now that Lee is out??

OFC

Hahaha!!! I saw that garbage

 

[DukeDyNasty22]

Interesting article about Wendell carter. He now plays for CP3 aau team this year based out of North carolina instead of Georgia Stars. CP3 is the same team Harry Giles played for through out high school. I think him coming closer to NC is a big sign in his recruitment.

Haha! Are they that dellusional?!

 

[dukedevilz]

The majority of the posters on RR are calling out the OP; not really anyone is buying it. But the OP appears to be dead serious.

I would love to hear an update on Obi. Is the issue with his knees fixable? Lots of articles mention him as if he should be good to go next year. Of course most of these clowns do as much research for an article as I did for a paper when I was in high school, which was about zero.

Here is an interesting article that provides some updates concerning the health and recovery of Coach K, Jefferson, and Giles. It also briefly discusses the arrival of the incoming freshmen to campus.

Headlines:
K feels younger and healthier.
Amile is completely healed and playing basketball again, but trying to find his "gait."
Harry is rehabbing the knee twice a day on campus, not playing ball or running yet, and it's too early to know if he'll be 100% to start the season.
Javin, Frank and Jayson are taking summer classes on campus and becoming friends. Bolden arrives next week.
UNC and UK still suck.

I like all of those things.

Hahaha! That's what they're saying

i saw a tweet the other day from laura keely who stated that obi was having an unspecified surgery later this summer and no idea how long he will be sidelined.
