Coach P. strikes again.... Yawn....

When she actually DOES something with all of these top recruits I'll be concerned.

"added depth to the backcourt " ? Duke has no backcourt , a senior combo guard, and a JUCO point guard for this year. I consider Greenwell, and Calhoun to be small forwards, who will be forced into the backcourt this year.

Then next year one will be gone, and the other will not play.

They're likely referring to the class with Suggs and Gorecki. Maybe Calhoun for the future too depending on whether you consider a wing to be front or backcourt.

It's a great day at Duke today! Proud of my staff and team for their hard work as we continue to recruit special student athletes! #DWB

Duke is much stronger academically than ND.
ND is Catholic which might not be everyone' scup of tea.
If you're from the east or Europe, Duke is much closer to home than Stanford.
Weather differences between ND And Duke.

If she had gone to NC she would have had the same advantages of East Coast, nice weather and secularity, and wouldn't have had to take all those bothersome classes.

I've got that game on tape. It wasn't just a zone, she was making plays off the dribble as well. She played with a confidence you usually only see in much older players.

Correct on all claims. I posted before I looked, and when I returned from viewing some clips it was too late for the Boneyard's time limit editing clock.

You guys are so harsh on UNC

It's an amazing pick-up for Duke
Salvadores is a wonderful player and competitor whose style will mask many of Joannes' shortcomings.
Great education for the young woman
Added competitive balance for the sport.
We should all be grateful for a tad more competition.

Said no Duke fan, ever.

Just finishing up your post.

Good for her and Duke. She gets a good education, Duke gets a guard and they needed one.

Whenever a school like Duke comes calling only those from the financial class can look the other way. She will get(?) a Duke degree-- a 'good' educ., well let us leave that open when we see her in 4-years.

Well she has the opportunity. And Duke definitely needs the guards.

Point #1... disagree... ND is very highly rated academically. Both are top tier schools that aren't Ivies.
Point #2... Spain is ~70% Catholic. If she isn't Catholic, that might be a good point.
Point #3... this might be good, except that California would be more like home than North Carolina.
Point #4... valid.

You make some rather interesting assumptions.

Just because one is Catholic does not mean that one would prefer a Catholic university.

I have no idea what your comment on #3 means (and I suspect I don't want to know). But mine was strictly a reference to travel time.

One of the best Shanjob I have ever seen.
