He's a Dukie through and through. K sold him solely on the fact that he can be the next Okafor and win a title. Their games are similar. I've moved on. We haven't been winning many of these last min decisions vs other programs lately. Or so it seems to me.

Really would like to have him at UK after the problems we all witnessed this year with our frontcourt and I would love to have someone on the Cats who can bang with the best big men in the country. But, think I kind of side with you seeing how many late decisions (exception of Murray this year) seem to have gone sour for us. I'm sure others can probably point out other examples where we have faired well on last minute commits but I just don't have a good feeling on Bolden. Hope I wake up some morning to hear the news that I was very wrong!!!!!!

Well sure seems the winds have changed in Duke's favor, re: Marques Bolden based on all the chatter.

UK and that's what's up. Bet on it. I have no inside info, but I told everybody we'd get Murray off pure gut feeling. And literally nobody else thought we would. Same situation here. We're getting him.

Unfortunately, Duke

They are going to be balanced, experienced (if the tripper stays) and loaded with talent. Sickening...... preseason #1. [sick]

I will say, Chris Fisher has a terrific track record over the last several years now and he has yet to change his crystal ball and has been extremely quiet on the bolden recruitment while all the Duke buzz has taken over.

Jerry Meyer hasn't changed his yet either and he's also been pretty accurate of late.

Some other people in the industry that I trust are feeling Duke right now however. (Bossi namely) as well as some of our local guys(Jones).

It's hard to read. I suspect Evan Daniels knows more than he's allowed to say, hence his 50/50.

He looks like a Dukie to me, wish we had him. I imagine he looks at UK and sees Bam and SKJ and Lee and Humphries and possibly Wynard as getting some minutes that he would like to have. I also imagine K has pushed hard saying you can step right in and take Plumlees place and play with number 1 and 2 and Frank to get you the ball and I figure that will do it.

Please cal perform your magic, if he goes to Duke that would be the best team of all time. And all you will here is how great Duke is.

No one who I trust has said Duke so I will keep thinking UK unless some one I trust says otherwise. But if you know recruiting you know if a player has favored one place for a while and then near the end you hear chatter for another place it is 90% just that - chatter .

Unfortunately, I think he goes to Duke. I hope I'm wrong, because we could really use a player like him in our front court. Actually, could've really used him this year.

Duke. Radio station down here even made a comment about his recruitment this morning and how Duke was the favorite.

Tea leaves not looking good for us:

1) seems like a couple experts switching pick to Duke almost daily
2) rumor that parents want Duke
3) info that Cal contacted Allen recently
4) apparently will announce before it is known if Skal and/or Lee return. (No decisions he would be waiting for at Duke)

Unfortunately, I would put my money on Duke

Still don't think we have much of a shot with Allen, but I would be fine "settling" for him.

Agree. Don't think we get either, but the fact that Cal is showing interest tells me he isn't feeling good about Bolden. I would take Allen in a heartbeat and be happy. I don't think we get either, or the foreign kid. Hoping now that Skal decides to come back, although that's a pipe dream and probably wouldn't help anyway.

I truly have no idea what will happen. But I will say this recruitment has a very similar feel to Murray's. All these rumors may be true and he picks Duke. But it could very well be UK too for all we know. It's not like anything concrete has leaked like we thought with the "deleted Evan Daniels tweet".
