I think getting that Duke offer as a fringe 5 star will not be as alluring in the coming years. Scheyer is a great recruiter, and I can see the motivation for JB to head there if he can make it to the league in 1-2 years. However, every Mark Williams or Luke Kennard there is a Matthew Hurt or a DJ Steward. Far more likely to get lost in the shuffle at Duke

Yet players keep signing up for it.

This has to be one if the least effective arguments you can make to a kid.

I understand you may not be making the argument but just noting it.

Im 40. I remember Brut, Tussy Deodorant, Wrestlemania 1, Rocky 3, Brown skinned Michael Jackson and everything an old 80s playa would indulge in.. lol I wasnt close enough to smell him, but it smells like Brown is a high priority for Duke. James has a visit there next month and we need him to get out of there without a commitment.

Of course, a legit Duke offer goes much further than most. However, what I'm moreso getting to is for this specific case, Chicago kid, fringe 5 star he might be better to go to Illinois. I'm trying to rationalize an artificial argument for why a duke offer means nothing to JB (because I don't know if we have the horses to compete with what a Duke offer entails just yet).

Every kid is different.

I don't think Duke has the "cache" it had 10 years ago. They were national champions in 2009 and 2014. These recruits were not even born in 2019. They went Final Four last year. Calipari at KY has proven that it is very hard to win with a bunch of 5 star one and dones. Their last championship was 2012.

I think most kids just want a path to NBA. Win in college, get some NIL money and not play for a crazy coach. Ideally player friendly offense.

If we can stack B10 titles and get more success in tourney, we have a great staff and facilities - I think our recruiting will be fine. Trust in Brad.
