Was Myles Turner close to being a Blue Devil

I believe Duke is one power forward/ center short of being the favorite to win the title this year.
I still like Duke's chances to make the Final Four . I predict they will have to beat Maryland in Elite Eight in order to advance.
I remember reading Winslow was trying to get Turner to Durham. He has had some off games but can you imagine him down low paired with JO.?
Jefferson has done a great job this year but in a matchup with Kentucky a front line of JO, Winslow and Turner could more than hold their own.

I don't think it was ever really that close.

I never believed for one minute that he had any intention of coming to Duke. He was Texas to lose from the git-go. But I do agree with you, would have made us almost unbeatable this year. Not complaining though, I wouldn't trade what we have!!
Go Duke!!

Duke was a whole lot closer to getting Kevon Looney.

Jim, would getting Looney have affected Duke's chances of getting Winslow?

 

[LandofOzDevil]

^ no. Winslow was coming with Tyus and Jah. Looney would not have affected that.
