Think Arizona's pg just announced he is coming back which should hurt their chances
Trevon Duval

Alonzo Trier is coming back. He's not their PG. He's a shooting guard.
I just hope Trevon doesn't pick Kansas. Bill Self just rubs me the wrong way.
Yeah don't see him going to KU with Graham and Malik Newman. Sean Miller is a good young coach, but Lute Olsen he is not. He can recruit though. And to be honest Duke is the most televised and polarizing team in the country. If you need exposure and visability why not attend Duke. I like Duke's chances on this one but who knows.
Just interesting that the day Allen announces he's coming back, Duval visits... I could be looking into this too much but it is interesting
He posted a snapchat of him driving through durham freeway then deleted it. He doesn't want people to know he's in town.
That's interesting.. don't have Snapchat and never saw the video... that's great news if he is! Thanks @Dukerowrecords
It would have been nice if he said this" lol. I'm not visiting Duke, but I will be on campus very soon in Duke Blue."
Bingo. He was definitely at Duke today.
Yea he was at Duke from what I gather on the scout boards as well. The insiders leaked it out. People on the scout board believe he was shooting his commitment video!
Recruiting boner.
Not sure about the filming of the recruitment video, but pretty sure I know how the video will end.
Hopefully he does commit to Duke but everything I have read and heard is that he is still a non qualifier with the NCAA. Has anyone heard anything about this?
Good point as there has been much discussion. He even acknowleged it back in the fall...

I just don't want to get excited if he commits and can't qualify. The 2 standardized tests are only given on certain days and I believe there are 2 more left before he would need to be at Duke. I believe there is one in June and August. I am just going off of our high school football kids that have to still take the test.
I believe Sean Dockery was a non-qualifier, he worked hard and finished his career with a Duke degree.
His commitment alone means that we're still a magnet for top guards. That's one minor thing to celebrate. Also, if he can't get a minimum score over the summer after studying for it, then Duke isn't a good idea for him anyway, so unless we have dissuaded another guard from committing, nothing lost. I'm not trying to be mean, but we should be maintaining some kind of standard, lest we start to look like our cheater neighbors. Some kids don't test very well but are high character guys, but minimum academic standards need to be met at a place like Duke. My guess is that he'll qualify after studying up for it a bit. Of course all this assumes he really chose Duke, which isn't official yet at all.
I doubt K and the staff would be after him this hard if they weren't fairly certain he will be good to go eligibility wise. I don't have any concerns there, I'm sure they have done their due diligence.
DukeDen I hear you on your concerns.Also I really know what you mean on Duval's commitment. It "isnt official at all yet."

Wasn't it K and staff that recommended to Duval to switch schools and get his grades up and credits?
I highly doubt The staff would bother if they knew he couldn't qualify and I doubt Duval would even bother with Duke if he thought he couldn't.
Wasn't it Duval who reached out to Duke?
For all we know, this could be Duval wanting to prove people wrong who have been saying he wouldn't and couldn't qualify.

Switching schools and getting your grades up are completely different than meeting the qualifying test score. The higher the GPA the lower the qualifying test score needs to be, it is a sliding scale. I should say the higher the core course GPA not overall GPA.
