Tank called me on his layover in Orlando. I will try and get Derryck Thornton Jr for a one on one interview later this week.
Some tidbits:
Tank said the game was the best he'd ever seen. I think Cameron Indoor made a damn good impressionThey loved Tyus last night, as you might have imaginedDuke didn't push for a commitment, but they did talk about it someDT Jr said he didn't want to commit during the visit (disciplined approach)Duke still unofficially leads after the visit and they helped their causeTank said Coach K is the best coach ever. They loved him. I can't tell you how much he just talked about K.The possible reclass was discussed. Said they need to talk about it some more. I think Jr wants to have the McDonalds All-American experience, so that could be a big factor. However, if they DO decide to reclass, Duke has seen the transcripts and DT Jr could do it with just an additional English class over the summerSeems like the Duke staff did address the Dennis and Derryck situation with them. They envision something like they do with Quinn and Tyus, playing together. Thornton more on the ball and Dennis off the ball as a playmaker. But both can handle and run when they want.
