See this is where I could see Schutt playing if he spent most of this year working on his handles as a secondary ball handler next season .
If both come back then imo, Blakes and Schutt look elsewhere.
I watch him and am reminded of JJ, who couldn’t defend a fire hydrant when he arrived at Duke but worked his a$$ off - not just in college, but in the NBA - to where he was better than average as a defender, which with The Stroke, will get you a lot of PT. I really think Schutt has that potential, but as H2C says, it will likely be shown at another school. BTW, that was the knock on Joe Girard, and he’s done all right.
Couldn’t agree more with Girard, never understood the fascination with him (other than he scored a million points in HS.) There is a reason he never played on a good Syracuse team. If they were good, not sure how much he would have played. Hitting a few threes each game means nothing when you can’t guard your own shadow.
Trilly should listen to 5 Point Play podcast and not the Adam Rowes of the world who run with every rumor without checking it.
We sitting ok with the boozer twins? Hasn’t been a lot of chatter at all. Some people say they like Miami but I have no clue
Conventional wisdom is if Harper doesn’t sign early then his lean towards Rutgers begins to go away. If he announces in the next week or two, he likely ends up at Rutgers. Would love for Scheyer to try and get Harper in Durham this weekend for Zona game. Hopefully, Rutgers will continue to struggle early in the season and Harper gets to see Duke run through Zona and Michigan State.
If VJ pulls the trigger, he will have to have everything ready to go before leaving for his OV to St John’s.
Think McCain would be the one more likely to stick around with all things being fairly equal. If Foster gets the minutes, have to think his scoring, defense, and his ability to run this team. McCain on the other hand seems to be excited about being in college and at Duke, and has a massive NIL deal that could subside any pain of losing an NBA contract after his Freshman year Would be diminished.
Just hope these is no funny business with Evans. Had a couple recruiting guys with multiple recruiting sites mention him considering going elsewhere. Evans shut that rumor down, but never understood why he is waiting till Saturday.
Right often times high schools have a whole ceremony for all of their seniors who are signing for different sports to play in college.
Unreal...without fail
He’s also rail thin. Think lively as an overseas prospect and that’s this kid . His defense and rebounding are good .Or another freshman
Huge Duke Basketball Recruit Announces Decision to Reclassify
NBA Academy Africa big man Khaman Maluach becomes a 2024 Duke basketball offer holder, but the Blue Devils already boast one five-star center in that cycle.www.si.com
I believe he's an inch taller than Lively and already heavier with a 10 months before school starts. He's a OAD level prospect. Performed decently well as a 16/17 year old in FIBA games.

People who know about him say that he is an immediate game changer. We should really hope to get him.
