I think in Walkers case we just never showed enough love early on to get back into it seriously. (Much to Francis's chagrin) I still find it very strange when looking at personal that he would go to AZ at least at Nova they have a history of playing at least 4 guards big minutes every season.

I still believe Duke offered O'Connell because they thought we could get an early commit from him. Remember we offered and visited and then shortly after he had scheduled an official with us. If he wasn't a legacy at Duke you have to figure we get that one because he was never a priority for Duke.

As far as Randolph I still don't have a good grasp on his recruitment at all. It was all quiet on his side until he committed to AZ and then all quiet again. I wonder if he signed and sent his NLI to AZ because if they get Walker as well that has to get Randolph and his camp thinking.

Its hard to beat out a kids Dad and brother. I would have loved to get Thompson but he was going one place and I can't blame him.

All that aside looking at whats left you have to think we at least give Tucker another look down the road. He brings shooting that Diallo simply doesn't. Diallo is going to the NBA IMO. If he is high on the board I think he should, there is no guarantee he suddenly learns how to shoot and the longer removed you are from HS without the jumper improving the worse it is for your draft stock.
