Hope we gte him though. Would be a huge get!
IMO Penny already has a solid class. Every other commit is gravy on top!
I would think 0% chance for Duke simply because they have not offered. If they offered it certainly would not remain 0%.
What’s odd is Duke is running out of time. Watford is just over two weeks away from announcing his choice. Are they so awesome and wonderful that they can offer a kid a week before the kid is going to choose his school, and still get the kid? My thinking is if you want me or my son to play for you I would have needed an offer well before today/now. I wasn’t good enough for you last summer, my whole senior season in high school, and maybe a week or a week and a half prior to the day I’m going to announce my school I become good enough for you?? That’s BS.
To me Watford should choose one of the schools that have been on him since last summer. Duke is great and all but they don’t and didn’t really want Watford or that would have been obvious a long time ago.
Oh please, if Memphis and Penny didn’t offer you or your son (you brought him up) until a week before your/his decision, you’d still sign w Memphis. It’s Duke, they can do things differently than most programs.

RE: Duke Basketball: 2019 PF Watford puts ball in Coach K's court(Memphis is frontrunner)
This kid is a senior in HS. Think back to your senior year in HS...especially the last six weeks of school. They have exams, prom, graduation, etc. all going on. Throw in being recruited as a high major Div. 1 athlete and try to imagine what life must be like for him right now.
Don't ever forget that you're dealing with 18 year old kids who think they're adults. We expect them to make decisions like a 30 year old. I know 30 year old adults who don't make good decisions, yet we expect them from 18 year old kids.

The guy is everything Memphis and Penny but acts like he wouldn’t commit to Memphis bc they offered him extremely late. Everyone knows “joe” would commit to Memphis in a second regardless of when they offered. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I work with kids who get D1 offers all the time, the prestige of a program makes a HUGE deal. Starting SS at FSU is one of my guys, he wasn’t offered until they realized they wouldn’t land their top guy, then they offered. It’s almost the exact same thing, and obviously he accepted, why? Bc it’s FSU baseball!!! And like you said, it’s Duke. When you have a program like that, you can do things differently. Period. Duke’s name brand in basketball is a recruiting tool they have worked to get and use all the time. If Watford commits to Duke I wouldnt blame him one bit.

And some here give straight honest thoughts on different issues and then are accused of not being forthcoming. Give me a break.
If you told me that you would react a certain way to any given issue or situation, I would would without question give you the benefit of the doubt that you were telling me the truth. That’s the difference between me and some of you. I literally have no reason to doubt someone on a personal issue considering I’ve never met you and know nothing about you as person.
By the way the ericsig guy started the argument, not me. Which isn’t surprising. He responded to my post, basically calling me a liar. I was the one who brought up the issue by giving my thoughts and opinion on Duke. I understand fully that you don’t like or agree with my stance on the matter. But again, he started the argument.

What you are saying has no merit at all. You freaking leave out that I’m a lifelong Memphian and Tiger fan. Watford isn’t from North Carolina. He didn’t grow up going to all the Bluedevil games. He isn’t close friends with Coach K. It’s a stupid comparison.
See if you can follow this... if my son was heavily recruited by 4 schools and Duke came calling at the 11th hour he would choose one of the original four that have worked over a year building a relationship with him and his parents. Again, that’s the way I feel about it. I’m honest about how I would be and you (who I’ve never met) are telling me how we would respond to that situation. It’s asinine to say the least. You are free to feel how you want on the matter. But last I checked, so are we. Building a relationship and trust is everything in recruiting.

See if you can follow this... if my son was heavily recruited by 4 schools and Duke came calling at the 11th hour he would choose one of the original four that have worked over a year building a relationship with him and his parents. Again, that’s the way I feel about it. I’m honest about how I would be and you (who I’ve never met) are telling me how we would respond to that situation. It’s asinine to say the least. You are free to feel how you want on the matter. But last I checked, so are we. Building a relationship and trust is everything in recruiting.
Tell that to Oregon who lost a recruit late after he had already announced for Oregon after X came calling last second.
Today's top players only care about who can get them to the next level the fastest. If one of the big names offer late then they ignore who has offered earlier.

Spare me your drivel. You are free to think what you want and have any opinions you want. I voiced my opinion and my belief on the matter.

It's Duke doe.
The guy is everything Memphis and Penny but acts like he wouldn’t commit to Memphis bc they offered him extremely late. Everyone knows “joe” would commit to Memphis in a second regardless of when they offered. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I work with kids who get D1 offers all the time, the prestige of a program makes a HUGE deal. Starting SS at FSU is one of my guys, he wasn’t offered until they realized they wouldn’t land their top guy, then they offered. It’s almost the exact same thing, and obviously he accepted, why? Bc it’s FSU baseball!!! And like you said, it’s Duke. When you have a program like that, you can do things differently. Period. Duke’s name brand in basketball is a recruiting tool they have worked to get and use all the time. If Watford commits to Duke I wouldnt blame him one bit.
What you are saying has no merit at all. You freaking leave out that I’m a lifelong Memphian and Tiger fan. Watford isn’t from North Carolina. He didn’t grow up going to all the Bluedevil games. He isn’t close friends with Coach K. It’s a stupid comparison.

It doesn’t matter what happened to Oregon with said recruit. I just said how I would react to the situation.

Agree completely.. Some here would argue with a brick wall.
And some here give straight honest thoughts on different issues and then are accused of not being forthcoming. Give me a break.
If you told me that you would react a certain way to any given issue or situation, I would would without question give you the benefit of the doubt that you were telling me the truth. That’s the difference between me and some of you. I literally have no reason to doubt someone on a personal issue considering I’ve never met you and know nothing about you as person.
By the way the ericsig guy started the argument, not me. Which isn’t surprising. He responded to my post, basically calling me a liar. I was the one who brought up the issue by giving my thoughts and opinion on Duke. I understand fully that you don’t like or agree with my stance on the matter. But again, he started the argument.
You must struggle with reading and comprehension.

Didn’t know I started an argument, I said “there would be nothing wrong with that”. And didn’t I said you are Memphis and Penny everything? Wouldn’t that kinda say you are a lifelong fan? Guess someone else’s reading comprehension could be called into question. You don’t need to be a lifelong fan of Duke, as a basketball player being recruited by Duke is the same as being recruited by your hometown school, it’s a big deal.

Grow up Joe... you act like a 12yo.
