Message: [QUOTE="Madbiker, post: 3001697, member: 312"] Why wouldn't an elite recruit choose Duke? You are guaranteed of playing on a team with other elite ultra talented players. You compete and usually win the ACC. A "bad" season is ONLY making it to the Elite 8. You get connected to the "brotherhood" of all the previous Duke greats and K's connections to the NBA. You get the "halo" effect of the prestige of a top ranked academic school --doesn't matter if you're only there a year you have the prestige of the Duke name the rest of your life. My guess is that the school is "clean" -- like Cal they have perfected having an outside entity not connected to the school or boosters provide any "benefits". [/QUOTE]
