I don't think it's really JB. Looks to me zags got fooled with someone holding a "pti" style face mask.

Nice article on Joe:

Joe Girard is drawing comparisons to former Duke point guard

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Full court press on him

Full court press on him

? Yeah and?

It really worries me this recruitment with Joe I am hoping it doesn’t end up like quade green all over again. Coach K at it Again.

 

[PhatOrange]

We’re in a very good spot, Mom is pushing for CUSE hard.

Not be all end all but that’s a big deal.

Quade Greene and Calipari? Or Jordan Tucker and Coach K?

Quade Greene and Calipari? Or Jordan Tucker and Coach K?

Or Cuse, Baby!!

Gotta take some fault here. Thought we would have commited before heading to Georgia for the Peach Jam, my fault there. As stated above and as I have been saying we are in great shape here and we are still the strong favorites. Coaches feel really good here. This is good news on the Stewart front as well. Still have ground to make up with Stewart but JG3 and Stewart are pretty close. Coaches are pitching distance from home, JG3 and early playing time to Stewart (obviously).

Appreciate all the tidbits of info. Most people realize that these things are fluid and you never know what a 17yo is going to do on a day-to-day basis.

This can’t be emphasized enough. The human male brain is not fully developed until age 25. The players we recruit are 50% of their lifespan away from full capability for rational decision making.

is Jay Wright wearing yoga pants?

Will this continue until the end of the summer do you think Cuseman?

Thought this would have been over by the weekend so wouldn’t be surprised if he made his decision next week but apparently wouldn’t be surprised if he made his decision the last week of August...I would be fairly surprised if this went into the school year though, as most people would be.

 

['CuseHoops]

From today. No Jimmy B but Dukes entire staff was watching Stewart and Joe.

 

[Orangefan1]

I just don’t trust Duke at all...not after Jordan Tucker

Not directed at you in any way, shape, or form CuseMan4 [your information has been very strong over time and is beyond reproach, IMO].

My only "skepticism" [for lack of a better term] is that there's been a trend recently where the staff feeling confident and how events actually unfold are sometimes misaligned -- as demonstrated by Quade Green / Jordan Tucker / Osun Osunniyi.

Again, not shooting the messenger--appreciate the updates. Just pointing out that there have been several recent examples when the coaching staff felt confident about X occurring, but Y eventually happens instead.

Which in turn makes me less "confident" about them having their finger on the pulse.

I will say I feel better about this recruitment than I do about tucker or green. It feels different this time and I hope Girard commits soon!
