I'm not sure about Dickinson either, after reading this.

If I had to guess Mark Williams to Duke and Dickinson to ND-he spoke very highly of them recently. Would love to land both though just dont see it happening, hope I'm wrong!
If I had to choose, I'd prefer Williams over Dickinson. And I also think we will end up with Williams, so all is good here.
Agreed, it would just be nice to have some depth at the 5 spot. After Dickinson, not sure who else is out there to recruit as a back up to Williams. Perhaps there is a kid that can reclass.
Possibly a grad transfer. Grad transfers most of the time look for a program who is usually a contender to play their final year of college.
I like that idea and would welcome a big man grad transfer. Has Duke had a grad transfer under Coach K? I know we looked at Tarik Black several years ago but don't remember anyone else.
Duke has kicked the tires on some grad-student transfers. But Black was the only one that got as far as a formal offer and official visit. A good many potential grad-student transfers wanted to start, while Duke needed them to come off the bench.
I think the odds are pretty good that Duke gets Williams. But I don't think it will happen until after his visit this weekend.
I can’t think of any grad transfers at Duke, but Duke had Curry, Mcleod, and Hood that transferred into our program, but they weren’t grad transfers.
The difference is that grad-student transfers are by definition immediately eligible, while traditional transfers generally have to sit out a season. Thus, only the former would address any big-man issues for next season.
I'd love a grad transfer for the 2020 class, even with Mark Williams, we will be short a big. I'm just not sure it will be something K will consider.
Take last years roster for example, it was obvious the spring prior that we desperately needed a shooter and some experience, and K never kicked the tires on anyone.

He did on that one grad transfer that ended up going to Villanova but i don’t think he went that hard after him. Can’t remember the guys name.
Joe Cremo. I REALLY wanted him.
Turns out it was probably good we didn't get him. Averaged 4 ppg for Nova while shooting 34% from 3. He was over 40% from 3 all the prior years when he played in a weaker conference. He wasn't able to play with the big boys.
Is John Riek a grad?
OFC
The difference in being recruited by Duke and Coach K and hof coach roy williams is pretty basic. With Duke is that if a recruit decides he wants to go elsewhere he will say I want to go to this or that school. With unc cheater u and hof coach roy williams recruits are told you will have to go elswhere. We don't believe you are our type of player and you cannot learn our complicated system in one or two years. Thank you for asking to play for us but not just anyone is suited to be part of the family and know the carolina way. That's the difference. OFC
I would love to see Duke get a guy like Nate Sestina next year, a guy who could play inside and stretch the floor, if we don't get Dickinson, of course.
John is 29 now. Listed at 7-3. Played a lot bigger than that though. Hopefully he will sign on before UK grabs him .
Rapolas Ivanauskas of Colgate would be the perfect grad transfer (6'10 230). Dude was the Patriot League Conference POY. Averaged 16 points, 8 boards, and he shot 43% from 3. Started his career at Northwestern, but was plagued with injuries (4-star recruit out of high school). Colgate is a really good team - so it's possible he just wants to be the man and lead his team to the tourney. If this guy becomes available, Duke should go after him.
Completely agree. Although, if both Williams and Dickinson pick Duke, I doubt K goes after this guy.
Would be nice but honestly we might be close to a full 13 scholarships next year as is
Kuminga put a picture of himself in a duke jersey on Snapchat and captioned it with “what y’all think”. Obviously doesn’t mean we’re getting him but it’s nice to see that we still must be in the running for him and he still must be considering us.
I missed it yesterday but Evan Daniels logged a pick for us, thats as sure as it gets
Agreed. He wouldn't go after any grad transfers if we're able to snag both recruits. However, I'd say the odds are we won't get Dickinson.
I wouldn't say that. Odds are we'll have 3 open scholarships without the addition of any grad transfer. And with only 3 available bigs (Brakefield, Coleman, and probably Williams), we could really use another body.
Sr (2): O'Connell, Goldwire
Jr (1): Baker
So (1): Stanley?
Fr (6): Johnson, Roach, Steward, Williams, Brakefield, Coleman
Also, Northwestern is a very similar academic institution. I think he would be a great fit. A big that can score, rebound, and shoot. Sign me up. He graduated high school in 2016; he's played 2 years of college basketball. So yes, I think he'll be an eligible grad transfer for 2020-2021.
I just feel like out of Moore, Stanley, Tre, Vernon, and Hurt we’ll get at least 2 back maybe even 3. And i think one of those will be tre. He just doesn’t seem like he’s improved his shooting and it’s such a need in the nba.
But we’re guessing with only two exhibition games played. We should probably wait it out a little and see how things play out. Eventually it’ll be a lot clearer on who’s going and who has a chance at staying
The way the current culture is I'd be happy with just one of those guys back. 2 would be incredible.
