Class of 2017 SG Alex O'Connell (GA) Verballed to Duke

[RF2044]

Have we officially offered him?

Yes.

 

[chugg21]

Exact kind of 3-4 year kid that will be necessary in that class.

Comparison to Grayson Allen as a tall guard that can hit shots in a defender's face. Mid- and long- range game, can use his size for separation. Hopefully without Grayson's patented forearm shiver and trips.

Especially since his dad didn't play for Coach K.

Article listing his dad as Mike must be wrong? I only see a Dave O'Connell as a Duke letterwinner, so must be him. Was in the mid-70's under Bill Foster before K. Guess Dad and JB can have some old man talks.

YES!

YAY!
Bag this kid. Agreement not necessary.

That facial in the end.

I know Lydon likely won't be here, but to have the two of them on the court at the same time each sporting a stache would be my favorite SU team ever.

I know recruits shouldn't fear comp and all that but I would hope Tucker and Lonnie wouldn't be shaken if this kid committed to us.

That Shaq head is gimmick infringement on Francis03.

YES!

I can't like this post. That scene sucked in "Borat"-- too obviously set up.

Yep

What you fail to realize is that he means he can play all three of those positions AT THE SAME TIME.

When you're short on scholarships, that is a huge benefit. Special player.

Looks athletic and skilled, but man he makes Lydon look like the Hulk...

Matt Moyer: is there anything he can't do? Really, I love this kid's heart, will and tenacity. It will translate to the court.

I assume Daniels is referring to Alex in this post. May need Francis to confirm. However thinking the Orange would have made the short trip while down in the Peach State

Here comes Slick Rick.

Here comes Slick Rick.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It's like these other teams wait for us to offer and then say, "hey, this guy must be good."
