    I love Underwood and his system. Have always admired his coaching and was always a little glad he never made his way to the ACC lol. Agreed that if Blackwell is looking for a 5 out offense, then Illinois would be the way to go, as it appears Duke is trending toward wanting to run more of a 2...

    Blackwell is far and away better than Howard, if that's who you're referring to. The other 2 recruits, Williams and Rippey, are a stretch 4 and a true PG.

    We'll see. Could very well happen, as these portal additions always seem to be fluid. A lot of behind the scenes action occurring, as usual.

    They do, but this class is typically regarded as not nearly as strong as recent classes.

    Different positions. If Blackwell does choose Duke, he'd start at the 2 with Sarr at the 3. Remember, Sarr is 6'8'' and a defensive menace.

    Insiders believe Caleb is out the door via the portal and Cayden will start at PG. They're trying to key in on a scoring guard to feature. FWIW, Blackwell just started following Flory Bidunga on Instagram today. Guess who has a visit scheduled to Duke for Sunday?
