He’s going to commit in the next week to 10 days. Folks aren’t sure if he’s reclassifying or not. Any idea of which way he’s leaning? Have to imagine if he’s moving to the 2022 class then that would favor UNC. Here is the article that dropped on Rivals yesterday…
GG Jackson….
- Thread starter Arlene
- Start date
Just saw a post on IG that we may be interested in Antonio Reeves who is currently playing at Illinois State and averaging 20ppg
Reeves looks like he would be a great pickup. Probably means Moore and Keels are gone though. Still, him and Roach would be a nasty backcourt next year. Would be experienced as well in the backcourt. Then bring in a Theo type and we're good to go.
Geez. Well disregard then lol. Didn't do any research on him other than seeing it on IG.
Back to taking about GG then

I would rather him end up USCe than him ending up at UNC. Just assumed that South Carolina wouldn’t be an option with Martin gone and them hiring Lamont Paris. Have a hard time believing that he will end up going to play for Paris, but maybe USCe has a massive NIL deal setup that can lure him there.
Think we have a good shot at him if he decides to stay in the 2023 class, as the coverage and publicity that Duke and its players have gotten should be a massive selling point. Also, can’t hurt to have 3 or 4 1st round picks in this year’s draft.
I don't think it would be a bad idea to look at some transfers if we don't get G.G.
Totally agree regarding GG and next years team. Don’t see it happening. Now, Reeves played SG at Illinois State and is 6’4. He was a SF coming out of high school but has played guard ever since arriving at Illinois State.
Yea Reeves plays SG and I think that Duke has contacted him. As for GG, we will know soon. IMO, he has made his mind up and is just waiting for the Tournament to be over. I do think that he is going to reclass,
He’s not coming to Duke he’ll go where he can start . Depending on where Keels has slipped to. He could come back .
He still isn’t coming he’s going to want a guaranteed starting spot . Averaging 20ppg .
Moore all the way up to 9? Can't remember him ever being that high. Always thought he was in the mid-upper 20s range. Williams to Memphis would be sweet. A team that doesn't need a center that has to score a bunch since they already have Morant. Also pairing up with Tyus and hopefully he can do the exact things that Steven Adams does
I would count them out. Five of their best players have entered the transfer portal. GG not going to a school that has little chance of winning.

I don’t think Trevor comes back… he needs to but I don’t see it
I too think Keels will go. I'd love him back; but he's probably shown enough in some games this year to warrant a team taking him in the second round. I would put Moore in the 20-30 range.
Probably means nothing but looking at some mock drafts the only cheater u player I see listed is wolf boy in the second round of one mock draft. What if all of them decide to come back and that include black because he has his covid year will this have any bearing on what Jackson does. I know that he is supposed to make that decision soon and it will be some time before any or all the cheater players make a decision. Just a thought and may not even be revelant. OFC
Both mock drafts I looked at over the weekend did not have Keels as a 1st round pick. One of those did not even have him in the 2nd round.
Completely agree. He could talk with Moore and even Mark Williams about what another year could mean to his draft stock. Also, with NIL, it may not be a bad thing to come back. It would certainly ease some of our concerns for next season and having such a young team.
Let's win this damn thing and they can all go if they want and that's including Roach
When he was a freshman he was number ten or eleven I think .
Think Manek is out of eligibility after this season. I’m sure the cheaters are selling Jackson on stepping into his starting spot and forming a front court with Bacot, Black and Jackson. Makes you wonder what they’re telling Dawson Garcia who split minutes with Manek before he was injured.
Hate to say it but that would be my selling point especially since you don’t know if Garcia will be back . That’s also a decent front court
Flip side of that is that Duke is also thin in the Frontcourt and Flip could be willing to come of the bench given the type of teammate and recruiter he has been for Duke .
Yup. He already rooted for the Cheats in yesterday's game
GG can go to UNC, that's fine. Let Hubert try and figure out how to coach one and done players.
That said, I do wish that one of Duke's players come back, but doubtful that happens.

What does Moore do at an NBA level? Not picking on the guy but what? Don't say defense after their guards lit us up like a Christmas tree last night. He looks more like a G League guy. Would love to have him back.
To me he does everything average but there are guys in the NBA that I thought would have never made it so who knows

we need to use the portal to become older. I really believe that you can pick up a more valuable player out of the portal than recruiting one and done players. Carolina has beaten us 4 out of the last 5 games because their older and more experienced than the teams we have put on the floor the last two years
I recently watched a game with Paulus and McRoberts. The announcer said it was Duke's second youngest team ever, with, I think 2 freshman, 2 sophs and a junior. That would be a veteran Duke team the past 6 years.
