No one said Zion wouldn’t have been a star elsewhere. I’m saying two things:
• Zion got more exposure at duke than he would have anywhere else. The combination of duke—a media favorite, in the premier conference —plus Zion equals the most exposure; 
• More importantly, and the true point of mentioning Zion: these kids JUST SAW all that Zionmania. It’s fresh. It’s current evidence. It’s current proof and a demonstration of what they want. And there is/was no fresher or powerful illustration of what a kid can get out of a college experience.

And back to your claim that a Zion could have received the same exposure elsewhere... Morant may be the second pick, a true college star, and yet I never saw a single game of his. Never saw a minute of him playing. Never saw a commercial featuring him.

The fbi/adidas thing? If these current duke recruits haven’t been paid, they’d prolly assume the players before them haven’t been paid. If the current recruits are getting paid, they’re going to duke [I]because[/I] they’re getting paid. Not sure which other high-profile school would be safer to attend if they’re afraid of what he fbi might do. Are you really feeling ‘stung’ because these guys aren’t coming to Syracuse?

I’m not saying duke isn’t cheating. Im only saying that there are still a lot of reasons why a kid would choose to go there. What were you saying about us when we were getting Pearl, DC, and Billy O?
