Cory Evans Article about 2018 Predictions

[Arlene]

Predicts we will have the #1 2019 class locked up by October with the following players committed:

Vernon Carey, Cole Anthony, Brian Antoine, Armando Bacot, Joey Baker, and Isiah Stewart

If we land the above class, could be argued that it’s the best recruiting class ever assembled ever.

Who did he predict to transfer?

I don’t see a scenario where we land Carey, Bacot and Stewart....but two of them I almost expect.

Carey and Bacot are most likely to commit to Duke I feel. I thought Bacot was going to reclassify to next years class though.

 

[Showenuff]

I hope he does.

How high is Bacot ranked? Article says top 50.

I think one of them re classes to this coming year but which one I have no clue. And I am just guessing. But I do not think that it is in Duke's best interest or those guys to come in at the same time. Just not enough room for 3 bigs in the same class. One re class big and a solid 4 year player and I think it would be a great recruiting year. I would love to see Duke with another chance at a back to back national ship. And what the hell, I am going to go ahead and predict Duke as winning it all this year. I did the same in 2015 but in a one and out situation is a roll of the dice. Jack Givens and D Williams come to mind. Pervis Ellison also and I know there have been others.

I could see Bacot reclassifying and joining 2018 class and then it could make sense to bring in both Carey and Stewart.

How high is Bacot ranked? Article says top 50.

Bacot is ranked #13 and is another 5* kid. Stewart is the lowest ranked player out of the 6 recruits Evans discusses and he is ranked #39.

So we land the best recruiting class ever, again. How does that help us? I thought THIS year was the best recruiting class ever, and we have lost to BC and NCSU.

 

[Jnood]

So if you lose to BC and NCST the season is over? That sucks, its a long time until next season starts, what are we going to ***** about?
