Anyone have any tape on him?

He’s a project player. Don’t watch it in the dark. It’s scary haha.

In all seriousness though, he’s a great rim protector, but needs to work hard on footwork and inside scoring. He can shot serviceably, it just takes a while to get that shot off.

Can he dunk? Also, would you say he’s Casey Sanders with a jumper?

We might have a chance at getting him, my insider had told me hof coach Roy Williams isn’t interested.I’m all for a project style player, at the end of the day even if he doesn’t play much he’ll have a degree from duke.

I'd want him, mostly for insurance purposes. And then there's the fact that we won't have any returning bigs in 2020-2021. I'm guessing the staff wants him for a Vrankovic-type role, but I think he has a little higher ceiling than that.

I see him with a couple of years at Duke which the program badly needs. Hope you guys that have some inside contacts track this one as it looks real important to me.

I had relatively high hopes for Vrank. I thought he would be a lot like Zoubek when I saw him his freshman and sophmore year. And what do you bet this guy is closer to 6-10 than 7 foot? All these guys and teams lie about their players height like it's no ones business.

He's got several inches on RJ and Zion. I'd say the difference is a good 4-5 inches... Read that he has a 7'4 wingspan. I don't expect meaningful minutes from him (should he commit) anytime soon, but he could be solid by his junior year. He moves better than Vrank and he can stretch the floor a bit. Give him time and he could be valuable.

Perfect scenario is Javin and Bolden come back and we get this kid. But if we get one back and Coleman we are in good shape for next year.

There isn’t really any scenario that relies on getting Coleman for next season. We want him, but he’s a longer term project. Neither Javin or Marques play much of a role into the final verdict.

OK so do they add another prospect or bank the ride? Any talk on that coming off the good news of getting Javin back where he needs to be?
