I am hearing that Duke is picking up interest in him and there has been some recent communication. I heard the interested is both ways. Anyone have any info on this?

Only thing I have heard is his decision is probably coming soon and it was between FSU, Kansas, and UNC.

With FSU being his likely choice.

The Duke interest wasn't new. They'd been in communication for a while. Nothing came of it. If anything is new it's Azubuike's interest. Still low.

Quick question, does a renewed or rekindled interest speak to Bolden?

Still some insiders I trust who don't think Duke is completely out of it with Bolden. What's happened with that recruitment is nothing....that's why people are talking and making some assumptions. I haven't really thought we would get him all along, but some still feel we're right there. So I'm not mailing it in quite yet.

^ No, there isn't. But like I said, I think with everything being so quiet and the Bolden camp being on lockdown people draw their own conclusions. The only rumor, and I mean the only one, I've heard is that he still likes UK despite them having about 22 bigs in the stable. But I don't know whether to believe that or not, either.

I think we'll have a great big man to play with Giles. Several nice possibilities brewing.

You know everyone doesn't need to be a five star player for Duke to have a really good team. There are many really good teams who have a nice blend. OFC

I think he picks FSU, and anyone who says they know where bolden is going, is full of it. Never seen top resources and insiders more clueless about a kid. Reminds me of tony parkers recruitment in a way. Could go anywhere and I wouldn't be shocked.

Probably right about Azuibuke. Bolden is indeed a mystery. May not know for a while either. Probably not till spring. Seems to be a 3 team race with Duke, Kansas, and Kentucky and any team could gain the upper hand by then.

I have no idea if this means anything at all, but I went to his Twitter page and there is a picture of him wearing Duke shorts during a Christmas Eve workout! with his decision coming soon, maybe that is a positive sign!

Evan Daniels said within the last couple weeks that Kentucky may lead for him which surprised me with Bam and Killeya-Jones coming in and at least one big guy coming back. I figured the only person to chase him away from Duke was Jeter, assuming Giles plays the 4. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

The way some of our 5*'s are playing, they should be renewing their scholarship ASAP.
Of course, there's that NBA potential thing..........:rolleyes:

I do understand your feeling and of course I would say the same about UL..& Duke:D

I think Bolden is enamored with Kentucky. It might not be the place that gets him the most PT either. However if he just shows glimpses in what time he may get, that is enough for a 7 footer and the NBA draft. It also doesn't expose potential weaknesses. Do not hold your breath for Bolden or Udoka to end up at Duke. Would love to have both though.

Denn, agreed. There is buzz in the air about Bolden and Kentucky, but with that said there is also buzz about Duke inquiring about other bigs and let's see if any 5th years emerge.

I think the tough thing in all of this might be that Chase could be that big Duke needs to be next to Giles.

I doubt either team would turn down Bolden. But even as a Kentucky fan, if I had the choice between a freshman Bolden or a sophomore Jeter, I'd take Jeter.

Well according to Cryolina fans, Duke is only getting involved with Udoka to get in his ear about not going to UNC. We don't really want him, but we don't want UNC to get him either...at least that's what is being said by the criers.

Azubuike is scheduled to announce today. Choosing among FSU, Kansas, and UNC. Probably FSU. Once he is off the table, Bolden and Allen only elite bigs remaining.

Never mind. No decision today. Maybe he will open up to the idea of Duke.

Evan Daniels ‏@EvanDaniels
Udoka Azubuike will not be announcing his college choice this weekend, his guardian Harry Coxsome told Scout. No timetable for decision.
