Tre Jones '18 offer
- Thread starter twdukefan
- Start date
Damn. That seems premature. No reason to question the decision though. Keep on signing!
If Seth Greenberg had learned this tactic, he might still have a job at VT. Legacies get offers. That's just the way it works.
Just b/c we offered and got a whole bunch of Plumlees, doesn't mean we go after every brother. I don't remember us offering EJ Singler, though I could be wrong on that. I'm sure the family ties help a lot, but to get an offer, not just a "preferred walkon", he has earned it. Great job Tre. Hope you come to Durham.
No doubt, the kid has the same feel for the game as Tyus. The "risk" if any is time. Much can happen in 3 years. You don't want a kid to ease up on or off the court thinking the work is done.
What is this talk of Tre only getting an offer because he's a legacy? Tre is a 4-star prospect who was picked to play for the Team USA Junior National Team. He's clearly very talented and would be an outstanding addition to Duke when he matriculates.
Stones come in pairs, don't they? If the kid is half the player his brother is then he's pretty dang good. Reel him in K!

Thank you!!! Think we get this one btw
loooooool ODD.
Remember this guys, just cause a guy gets a offer doesn't always mean we will heavily pursue him always. If Tre for some reason ends up becoming a dud (which I highly doubt) his offer is still 100% good, but that doesn't mean we are obligated to recruit him. It happens often a kid gets an offer from a school and then school grows disinterested and stops contacting.

I hope Tre can stay focused throughout his high school career. I think an early offer from Duke is a recognition of poise and maturity and I hope Tre can fulfill his own potential and not get caught up with comparisons with his older brother.
He won't let that happen. I'd be pretty shocked if Tre didn't wind up at Duke.
I would be really shocked if he didn't chose Duke as well. AND I hope he does come. Loved Tyus' entire game -- just a joy to watch.
Tre obviously comes from a great family, and we all know his brother is a great example for him to follow.
Long time until 2018, and a lot of things can happen between now and then (hopefully all good for everyone), so let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best for Tre & Duke!!! Looking forward to still being around in '18 and seeing him in Duke blue.
Go Duke!!

Let's hope he sees what big bro did and find a big to roll with him. I know that relationship they had is probably once in a lifetime and hard to create, but in USA and travel ball, I hope he clicks with a big to go to school with him. It was a pretty solid recipe for big bro
