Deng Gak

[Willcampbell]

We have offered Luol's relative, class of 2017. Depending on which site you look at, he's between 6'10 and 7'0.

Are they actually related?

Will Campbell I like this offer. The kid is not anywhere near a OAD but he has great length, is certainly athletic, and is getting good coaching at Blair. He could bring some instant defense and rebounding off the bench, plus his footwork and offensive skills are improving. It is possible that Florida could be tough competition in this one, but I like Duke's chances. Let's meet halfway and call him six eleven but his wingspan is really huge.

 

[Willcampbell]

Are they actually related?

Actually, I'm not sure. Report I read said they were "close," and ended up at same prep school.

[dbav]

I'd like to see him here just for his name, haha.

 

[dukehokie]

Luol mentors him. Duke is in good shape with Deng. Both of them.

 

[dukiejay]

Yeah, not actually blood relatives. But they're close.

 

[pisgah101]

Watched don't video on him.. Looks SMOOTH and like a good rebounder. I like him

Any updates on Bamba?

Any updates on Bamba?

I looked after seeing the Deng offer, but couldn't find anything. Maybe these won't be very public recruitments over the summer.

I'm sure we will get Carter but I REALLY REALLY WANT BAMBA!!

 

[df64]

Don't mean to come across as greedy, but, I'd really like to get Bamba, Carter, Trent, Knox, Diallo, Gak, oh and maybe a 4 yr pt guard who could team up with Tre Jones the following year like Cook did.

Jeff Capel is on it.

Not saying you're wrong or that I'm disagreeing, but you're going to really like Carter. Like a lot. Like Okafor levels of enjoyment.

And if we can put Bamba with Carter so Carter doesn't have to be an interior defensive stopper. O.M.G.

He'll be a 3-4 year player who will give Duke something for all four years. He won't be buried when/if he gets here.

Duke is looking to gain a couple of commits before the Olympics. I really wouldn't be surprised to see a commit or two before July.

Is that Bolden you are referring to, or a 17 commit?

 

[dukehokie]

Is that Bolden you are referring to, or a 17 commit?

Hahah. At this rate, Marques, but yeah I was referring to 2017.

 

[df64]

It would be really nice to land a big target-Carter, Bamba, Knox sooner rather than later.

 

[dukehokie]

Probably not Knox, but fingers crossed for Carter and Gak. And maybe one guard.

 

[pisgah101]

Probably not gettin Knox? I thought he was huge Duke lean

 

[df64]

What guard? Trent, Diallo, Green, or the kid whose dad got thrown out of a recent game?

 

[dukehokie]

Probably not gettin Knox? I thought he was huge Duke lean

Yeah, just saying Knox may take the summer and fall to decide.

 

[dukehokie]

What guard? Trent, Diallo, Green, or the kid whose dad got thrown out of a recent game?

I think you'll see Trent and Diallo fade in terms of a Duke recruitment and Green, Waters and one or two others rise.

 

[CatcherForLife6]

Jeff Capel is on it.

this.... I like.

 

[LongTimeDukeFan]

That kid looks like the complete package. Would _really_ like for him to come to Duke.
