No. Just caught in a numbers gameWhy is he leaving Duke - is this another Taylor King situation?
Don't like that but it does say "among" so there may be more and more may be us.No SU mention among teams he's hearing from .. hmmm.
Search the board for Gbinije. Long thread.Why is he leaving Duke - is this another Taylor King situation?
Just got a text from my source close to Mike saying he committed tonight. Go Orange !

A co-worker of mine flew today from Florida to Dulles, then Dulles to Syracuse. She sat next to Gbinije's father. She barely follows Syr basketball (she is from the midwest) but told me that she 'sat next to and talked to some guy whose son was transferring from Duke'. When I asked if he said anything about coming to Syracuse she said he told her 'there really aren't any other options'.
Fab Melo was also on both flights. She is about 5'2" and got bumped up to first class both legs. He was stuck in coach the whole way. Said it was pretty funny watching him try to move down the aisle of the regional jet from IAD to SYR.
As I said in some earlier thread on this topic, JB and Coach K are very close. I am sure JB would vet the kid with K before making an offer, and I am sure K would be honest with JB. Given all that, I am not concerned if we have offered the kid.well if jb wants him, i want him.
I'll take a 19 year old, former top 30 rated 6-6 shooting guard who is supposedly a good shooter with a high basketball IQ and has a year of seasoning playing with and against Duke players any day of the week.
I believe it's very possible that we got a commitment.
