What was Duke’s or Kansas’ like?
In the past 3 years Duke has had 11 five stars enroll I believe. That is an insane number.

 

[OceanDoggie]

For context, Karaban is only unranked because he joined midseason. Most services had him 65-75 range before that.

Ok, he wasn't to be found on the mid-season list either, but thanks for the context. I recall him ranked I'm the high 40's by 247.

Don't forget Karaban is only unrated because he enrolled early. He was around 80 IIRC. Possibly our most imporant recruit was one of the lowest rated.

He was criminally undervalued in HS and AAU. IQ and shooting are off the charts. Just because he can't touch his head to the rim doesn't mean he isn't a talent.

That’s because his plan was foiled by those Brady bunch

8.3 pts, 2.4 reb, 1 assist. Not much to remember

Especially as college standout. Even if he doesn't have the measurables the NBA loves in the college game he is a killer.

Some noise on X and Rupp Rafters that Brea might be taking a visit to Kentucky some time next week.

 

[OceanDoggie]

So does Calipari

Duke has three times as many top 30 guys as Kansas. How about the Kentucky list?

Just saw that as well. Supposedly Monday. Wtf.

 

[FearThePups]

On Friday Sports illustrated reported this about Brea.
“Brea hasn't officially announced his decision for next season yet, but after including Kentucky in his top five lists of schools, he recently said he will only take visits to UConn and Duke, which means it doesn't sound like he will play for the Wildcats next season.”
Since then he has canceled the Duke visit and now is going to visit KY. Does he even know what he wants?

 

[Fan1978]

Karaban being unranked doesn’t make sense. He was pretty consistently top 75 or

Kentucky is even worse

Kids aren’t going to announce right on top of another commits announcement. The Liam commitment is still fresh and receiving press, interviews, etc. There’s a protocol. I think each commitment deserves a week of shine regardless the of their ranking, etc. That’s all I got.
