Knox Visit?
- Thread starter df64

^ Not really sure. My head thinks Knox has to love what Duke offers him. My heart believes he would love to be surrounded by both the other talented possible Fr and the returning roster. But then when I sleep on it, the lure and the potential to be the main guy at UNC is tough to turn away.
My gut has only been 50% right and I for sure hope he comes to Duke.

What's gary-7's gut feeling? OFC
Id say FSU is in better shape thank UNC as are we IMO.. Don't know a lots out him but I do know Carolina will literally be in the tanker after a his season and don't expect this kid or really any other legit talents running down to chapel Hill In the forseable future
No, I'm pretty sure he was at UNC for the Pittsburgh game on the 14th, was at Duke for UVA game on the 13th.
He will be back on campus on Saturday for the UNC game. I know there is plenty of time left in his recruiting process but I'll take two visits in less than one month as a good sign.

He also had high praise for Duke in his USA today Blog. I think seeing the success BI is having this year works in our favor.

I think it's a pretty straightforward decision logically: look at what K has done with wings (hood, Parker, Winslow, Ingram, and Tatum ultimately) vs what Roy has done...Jackson?
But let's not forget it only took Ole Roy two years to make the Black Falcon, the consensus #1 HS player in the country, a sure-fire lottery pick. Coaching. No one else could develop his skills like Roy could.
@dukedevilz can you post your avatar in a thread? I need to save that pic on my new laptop. That picture got me banned on THR for life! 
I'm not sure how to insert pics from my hard drive. When I click on the image icon, it appears that it only allows images with a url link. I'm pretty sure I stole that picture from OAD though.
Lots of buzz on twitter that he's fallen in love with Duke. Crystal ball even changed which i know isnt much but its showing 68% duke, 32% fsu
The needle has definitely moved in a positive direction from all accounts. That's a good thing.
I think even though he saw Duke lose, he probably loves how Ingram and other Duke wings have been utilized, vs how Jackson and Pinson have been and are being used at UNC. I love how no one thinks he's going to UNC right now, even after their victory
So glad to see him really enjoy his visit and like Duke... Hope we get his recruitment wrapped up sooner rather than later! He's a special talent and he's only getting better!
Duke now has a healthy lead in the crystal ball predictions so let's hope they are right.
62% Duke
38% FSU
I like our odds against FSU when it comes to basketball recruiting any day of the week.
Yeah, I figured they'd change. My post came I think on the heels (no pun intended) of the Duke-UNC game. Like I said, a class of Trent, Knox, Bamba, Carter? Man...2017 might be the only thing better than 2016 class-wise, but I won't count the chickens just yet
Unless he cares purely about playing time. he'll definitely get it down there, but then he'd also be on a bubble team down there for the one year he would be on the squad.

Knox reminds Coach K of Grant Hill. He'll get as much playing time as he can handle at Duke. Our tougher competition may be UNC, although these days it's hard to imagine losing a top recruit to them.
Because the Bolden recruitment is growing tiresome for me I thought I'd pass this update along for those who don't already know...Cal met with Knox the other day and offered him a scholarship. Anybody know how we're lookin with him? Kind of reminds me of Ingram 2.0.
Knox seems to be pretty high on Duke based on his statements. Knox is pretty tight with Gary Trent. That bodes well for us. Trent is also supposedly looing at a package deal with Wendel Carter, who is also tight with Mohamed Bamba. So far, Duke is the only one seriously mentioned with all of them. How about that foursome.
From what my sources can gather, Knox really likes UK but everyone surrounding him is pro Duke, so hopefully we will see. I hope we land Knox. Mohamed Bamba really likes UK also but everyone around him is pro duke as well. In fact a UK fan said that he knows a couple guys in the NYC area and they tell me Bamba's mom is a huge Yankees fan and is everything A-Rod and A-Rod attends a lot of Duke games. Bamba's mom really likes the ACC. According to UK fans, this would be another reason to hate the Yankees! As far as Gary Trent and Wendell carter go they really like UK but their families are pro Duke. Hopefully we can get a package deal of some sort, but as of right all these recruits favor UK.
They hate the cowboys too since that's gunna push bolden to us or so they say
You can never count UK out, but I like Duke in this race and the "kid likes UK not Duke, but the parents like Duke" isn't exactly accurate in this scenario.
