Duke lands Paolo Banchero

They play different positions, and Duke still has one open scholarship.
I'd say no impact on his decision. Duke is going to be loaded as usual.
Would think that his parents would steer him to the school that has done a lot for his family and will serve him well in the future.
I mean, you’re talking about a kid who will spend 7 months on a college campus before he can go play pro ball. If the parents are going to push him to any particular place, they’re going to probably encourage him to spend 7 months where it will have the largest benefit for his family.... which would be playing for his dad and boosting his head coaching career.
But you’d hope that a family gives a kid the breathing room to make his own decisions, and supports him however he asks them to through the process, regardless of what they stand to gain from any decision. At least that’s what I hope I’d do.
Turk said on facebook that Duke isnt being considered. So it didnt matter.
