I think Duke gets R.J,, not Zion. But it's believable they could get both. My impression is that Duke is highly organized and really plans out their recruiting strategy a couple of years in advance.

Like I said, doubt they get Zion, although I can't really think of any other recruiting situation that would be seismic.

So all we heard when Cal was getting the number one recruiting class every year was how Cal had to be paying players to get classes like that. Now that Coach K, Self and Miller are doing it all you can hear is chirping crickets. C'mon guys which is it? If Cal was paying players to get those classes and now your coaches are out recruiting him it has to mean you are paying more right?

I really don't think it is all that much of a stretch,Diallo gave his best effort to leave without ever playing a minute here,that is hard to dispute.He may be a 15 and 6 guy this season or he may not.

As to the point of the thread,both could choose Duke(I doubt that they will)recruiting is an ever evolving process,it is like a pendulum swinging first one way and then the other.Cal has had a good run but even he can't keep it going forever.

The board would go into full meltdown mode and be all over the map from Cal has lost it and is done to calling for congressional investigations of K and Duke.I think it is more likely that neither of them end up at Duke

I was listening to a podcast that Evan Daniels was a part of this morning and he stated that Duke is in a really strong position for landing both Zion and RJ Barrett.

Duke is not landing Reddish, Barett, and Zion.

Still cannot figure out why all of these guys are interested in Duke. K has a terrible record with OAD's, he has guys like Allen on the roster, and he's at the end of his rope. It just doesn't make sense.

Everyone who follows recruiting acts like Duke gets everyone they want. Why should the analysts think any different? They know about as much about it as the rest of us.

A point well taken,K record with OAD's is well documented,maybe they see all the calls and seeding breaks Duke gets and figure it is an easier road to pick up a national championship on their way to the NBA.There has to be a great deal of negative recruiting going on there,from a player development and business perspective going to UK over Duke would seem an easy choice

And the way it happened.

Cal came off of elite 8, final four, title, while putting the top 2 players in the draft. That's not to mention all of the other NBA guys we put in. Then we create pro day, and are known as the best choice for OAD top rated guys. It's a no brainer.

All of a sudden K decides to not hold players back, and what? Announce to the recruiting scene that he's gonna be like Cal and? Come on in?

It's bizarre, and I still think Duke is cheating in some way.

The chances of Zion and Barrett going to Duke is less than the chances of them both going to UK, which is less than the chances of my post not being quoted in this thread.

Zion Williamson wants to play SF at the next level, so Duke is out.

I want to see this starting lineup at UK in 2018, because I love small ball.

6'6 ~250 Zion Willimason at center
6'6 ~215 Keldon Johnson at PF
6'6 ~200 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at SF, or 6'4 ~200 Grimes
6'3 Immanuel Quickley
6'2 Darius Garland or 6'1 Soph Quade Green

Cal's runts.

Here you go. Evan Daniels is on the podcast for the first 5 to 10 minutes talking about Duke's incoming class and their 2018 class. He states that Duke is in a really strong position of landing both RJ and Zion.

Fast forward to the 8 minute mark to get to the Barrett and Zion talk.

He won't, so no worries. If he was all American material he would not even be here. You are 100% correct. I am not and never will be a fan of Diallo. Been following the cats since 1963 and I have never seen a player try so hard to NOT play a single game after commiting.

Daniels said great shape........... not really strong. Really strong makes it sound like they lead......... great shape just means they are in it.

While I am NOT a blue shades type of guy, nor am I a homer. I call a spade a spade, or a turd a turd. But I have been following cats basketball since 1963. I do like stirring the pot a bit around here, it's been a long summer with no basketball, and since I do not follow any pro sports, Cats is all I got.

If they do, they do. Probably not gonna happen. If those players didn't want to join BBN, that's their loss. Sky wouldn't be falling for me. Star recruits doesn't guarantee championships. We know that from experience. I would just love our players that much more. Go Cats!!

Mock them mightily when the inexplicable round of 32 loss to Valparaiso or some such absurdity happens.

Or alternatively

Crow for years when we outlast them 82-77 to go to the Final Four.
