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.

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!

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.

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
