Duke Hosting Impressive Group for Madness

When Duke hosts its “Countdown to Craziness” Friday night and unveils the 2010 national championship banner, an impressive group of recruits will be on hand.

Austin Rivers, Duke’s newest 2011 commit, is expected to be on campus, along with Oak Hill point guard Quinn Cook and 2012 prospects Tony Parker of Lithonia, Ga., Amile Jefferson of Philadelphia and Rasheed Sulaimon of Houston.

Quincy Miller, a 6-9 senior forward from Westchester (N.C.) Country Day, will not be there as originally scheduled after the two sides parted ways.

Miller, the No. 1 power forward in the Class of 2011, is also considering Baylor, Louisville and Oklahoma.

“Countdown to Craziness was a huge success last year and we are really excited to start this season with another great event,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said, according to GoDuke.com. “Friday is going to be a special night for our players, coaches, fans and everyone involved with Duke basketball. We are looking forward to hitting the floor in Cameron and feeling the building shake in anticipation for the 2010-11 season.”

    The sins of thee Father are being paid for by Enes.

    It is what it is…
    Kentucky will not get Kanter.
    But, Cali knew about all those Turkey Talk

    ps- Washington Univ. Knew about Turkey Talk and walked away.
    Didn’t Ill walk away from Rose.And finally ended up in Memphis.
    The PATTERN continues with Cali & Co.

  • Woody and Hawk have so ashamed of Kansas Gangster U.

    Their was so MUCH pressure to get a first commit.
    So MUCH PRESSURE.

    N will be a good point guard for them.
    Imagine if ,going into today, Kansas had NO COMMITs.

    Self would have to FIRED someone else.
    Or find another person which received GIFTs.. right AD.

    Look at what Kansas Gangster U has become.

    Note-
    Chol will have a good time.
    But, he is set on seeing some of the other schools.
    Stewart likes to talk. So, walk the walk- Stewart.
    Right YellowTail.

  • gilchrist, davis, teague, and wiltjer….doesnt get any better then that.

  • JessieWildcat- So Arizona gets a few 2011 recruits and now you seem to have some new found arrogance. Guess What? Arizona is the LAST program that should talk about someone elses recruiting pratices. Oh Yeah, Arizona STILL sucks. Watch Kanter be declared eligible pretty soon.

  • the funny part about JessieW is that he rips KU but yet his team is signing a bunch of pump and run players that would normally be tied to KU. essentially zona is going about things the same way was KU. and its worse because zona is currently ON probation. get hit again and its donzo for miller and zona.

  • It’s entertaining to read the above comments. JW leads off with non-sense and the rest of the village idiots come out to play. Good work everyone, you all have supplied a nice laugh.
