I hate Duke. But thought they focus primarily on five stars.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Welp it's been fun Jaiden

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

The insiders here are free to tell me I’m wrong, but my guess is that the presence of Achiuwa and, possibly, Samuel have him considering other options.

Or, he’s an incredibly bright/talented kid who got a meet with (arguably) the best coach in America....

 

[UconnFanDC]

We've had players meet with other high profiled schools before and won out. I am not going to panic (bites nails) lol.

 

[methodology]

He's a UConn fan, right?

 

[UconnU]

I think this was on a team visit with Coach K because their AAU team is in NC. Doesn't mean they're going to offer.

If he's being scared off by Achiuwa and Samuel, Duke isn't exactly the school you'd go to if you wanted to avoid competition for playing time

 

[CL82]

Scared off? Really? If Coach K offers some face time to you, you take it. It doesn't mean that they will offer or that you will accept.

Let's be honest, we aren't competing with the Dukes and Kentuckys of college basketball right now. I hope that we will again, and soon.

 

[Stinger92860]

How much longer will K coach? By the time Hurley retires with 3 National Championships coach K will be pushing up daises. Unless he is a vampire, of course.

 

[UConnStats]

He has retweeted and favorited a lot of Duke stuff in the past. If they offer they’ll be tough to beat (big if).

I know someone who’s friends with him. We are in good standing but if Duke offers he is going to Duke.

 

[UconnU]

Would you say that we are the favorite if Duke doesn't offer? I wonder how long he's willing to wait for the Duke offer.

 

[Cuse Socks]

I know someone who’s friends with him. We are in good standing but if Duke offers he is going to Duke.

If I were him I'd look at kids like Jordan Tucker and Semi Ojeleye and see that Duke has not been that recently successful at DEVELOPING talent. They prepare elite players who are close to ready for the draft very well but a lot of these players that need significant improvements to their game get lost in the weeds at Duke and often ride the bench and are forced to transfer.

Maybe a Ben Gordon situation. That worked out well.

Tell him about Jordan Tucker. Similar players and rankings

Would you say he had a plethora of offers?

Duke checks in with 2019 forward Jaiden Delaire | Zagsblog
Delaire is a 6-foot-9 power forward from Loomis Chaffee (CT) ranked No. 21 at his position in the Class of 2019 by 247Sports.com. He is currently in North Carolina with his NE6 AAU program, which runs on the Under Armour circuit.

“My understanding is that they’re evaluating him this summer,” Loomis Chaffee head coach Rock Battistoni said Tuesday by phone. “[Duke assistant Jon] Scheyer has been calling for a little bit. They’re going to keep an eye on him just like most staffs do with most kids.”

 

[MDHuskFan]

Commits here he’ll stay the same or drop in rankings. Goes duke he’ll rise to a top 40 kid....

 

[kansashusky]

Delaire is option C for Duke. So hopefully they hit on their top choices.​

They're Duke, so they probably will.

Didn't realize Rocky Battistoni is coaching him, known Rock since we were kids.

Coach K? Definitely.

What presence? Nobody's committed yet. Every school recruits multiple guys.

I bet Coach K is talking to Jaden and casually dropping the name Tatum though.

Duke used to be great with these kids. Now they just get recruited over.

Although, I'm interested to see how Duke operates now that Capel is gone. He arrived in 2011, and all of a sudden, it was one and done U. Not discussing the reasons for that mind you.
