Quade (kwah-day) is 1 of 6 guards we have offered. I really like his game: looks for contact in the lane, quick release and those no look passes. Anyone know the nature of this recruitment?
Quade Green
- Thread starter DukeDenver
- Start date
As @jimlsumner said, he's the number PG target. He's a name we should all get to know. He's Quinn Cook 2.0 IMO, but could be an even better distributor depending his role evolution.
Oh my gosh! A 12 minute recruiting video and the first 30 seconds of footage has the PG actually passing the ball! The best part....he keeps on passing.
I like this kid! I hope we can put him in Duke Blue!
That's good and all but he ,along with Gak, are only four star recruits according to 247. No thanks. Lol.
I think Grayson was a 4 star before Peach Jam or the City of Palms tourney. Am I remembering that correctly?
When you commit to Duke, your rankings automatically go up and you get an spot on the MAA roster. You know that.
Duke recruits always get that 10-20 spot boost, and UNC recruits go in the opposite direction. In all seriousness, I like the recruitment of Green and Gak as they definitely project for 3-4 years.
After watching a few of his clips, it seems that making good decisions while forcing the defense to commit to him is his game. If he can accept stiff competition, he'll be a winner.
If his team wins Peach Jam, he appears likely to get MVP. Big match up with Trae Young. I like point guards whose teams win. One of my favorite quotes pertaining to Tyus Jones before he came in was from some scout or NBA exec who basically said his teams always win.
Thanks, d64, almost forgot this game was on today. If you like recruiting, turn on ESPNU right now. Bamba, Porter, Young, Gak, Green all on display. Some really good sophs there too.
Green is just in control all the time. He can make a team go. He looked pretty tired today though.
Porter should just go pro. Trae Young is just a sick scorer. Gak is raw and lags a bit. Bamba needs a year of college but could be special around the rim.

Forget the stupid ranking, watch the video and trust your eyes...a try to see the same things the staff see. Also look at who else is recruiting him he is a high priority for just about every major program over the last 10 years...that should tell you something.
He's the real deal and Duke is working hard on him. This class was looking devoid of PG talent and Green doesn't just look better by comparison. He's legit and has that innate ability to make teams better with his poise and awareness, not just his talent.
Probably doesn't hurt that he's Bamba's AAU teammate either. Is Gak also on that AAU team?
Good to know, I feel like Duke will be fine with Green and Gak; the wild card is Bamba, and understandably so given the bigs Duke could have on the roster when he matriculates
If we land Wendell Carter and Gary Trent Jr, I will seriously feel like the most spoiled fan on this planet.
We have a serious shot at the dream class of Carter, Bamba, Trent Jr., Knox and Green. Can you freaking imagine that?? Please let this happen and the Tar Holes will all be jumping off a bridge.
