Who was the guy that said Barrett's twitter follows were "all Duke", because I just looked at it and it appears to me he has just as many if not more UK follows than Duke follows. He's following virtually the whole team, and Cal, and IQ.

Whoever that guy is, wish he'd check it out to see if he thinks Barrett may have unfollowed some Duke stuff.

^^Highly doubt he unfollowed Duke stuff. No point in tipping hand that easily. But he does follow both schools equally as far as I can tell. Maybe more likes for Duke.

To be fair, he wasn’t talking about follows, he was talking about likes. I know it seems like semantics, but in the last couple weeks Barrett has liked posts by Tre Jones, Duke Digest, Duke Basketball, and Marvin Bagley and nothing UK related. It could mean absolutely nothing but it’s one of very few glimpses into the mind of a very quiet recruitment.

He said RJ “likes” a lot of Duke related tweets — which is true. “Likes” are different from “followers/following.”

Honestly — after Bolden “following” Brad Calipari on Twitter right before his commitment — I gave up on trying to read recruits minds on social media.

I got the alert because I follow Vanderbilt and Richards both. I have no reason to lie...prove me wrong. Lemme figure how to host a screen shot to satisfy you...

Chill out dude, he wasn't trying to be a dick, I looked as well and didn't notice them until well into their followers. He's just saying he didn't notice, not trying to call you out.

AWESOME, Dude. Thanks for both your validation. I don’t post things unless it’s true. Sorry I didn’t post the screenshot of the alert from the middle of the grocery store this morning.

I think that was me who said that, but yeah, I was talking about likes, not follows. And just a side note: I'm a she :p

Anyway, I am trying not to read into it.. if anything, I'm worried someone told him to follow a bunch of Kentucky people like Bolden did before committing to Duke. Only time will tell!

Hes waiting bc Adidas just lost their main guy to an arrest and they are scrambling and incentivizing all Adidas kids to just wait and not bail. Zion is THE Adidas guy so of course he's facing the most pressure to hold on.
There's also legit interest in uk and everyone is curious about how their roster will shake out. Hard to say who's going or staying right now and teams are seizing on that.

If he is waiting until Spring, I doubt it has anything to do with UK's roster.

There is no doubt that Williamson starts and plays every minute he can no matter where he goes. That is even true at UK. He is a beast and will put anyone currently playing for UK who might stay on the bench. I doubt we have anyone right now as good or better than Williamson, and if we do, they will be gone after this season.

In short, our roster should have little to do with Williamson's decision, except for him maybe wanting more talent around him to help him win a title.

This "Zion is going to wait until Spring" thing is apparently a cockroach that will survive a nuclear apocalypse.
