[QUOTE="Emerson Bigguns, post: 1562318, member: 666858"] I think any player that isn't a top 10 lottery pick type of guy has a risk of being "recruited over" at Duke. Duke is always going to be in play for top 20 players. You don't commit to a place like Duke without understanding that you will have to earn your minutes. The talent to be successful is on that roster. That team just doesn't seem to have an identity at the moment. Also bear in mind that he didn't look great against Illinois, a top 10 team in the country. I could see U of I defense possibly having trouble covering big, skilled wings like Isaiah Livers or Ron Harper Jr. and big guys who can stretch the floor like Nate Reuvers or Garza, but not guys under 6'5". We have plenty of good options to hold down those types of players. [/QUOTE]
