He may be the one that could pop early ala: Sheed, Jones

Only question re: Kennard is how his family is ok with the distance factor, they're a very close knit group. Hopefully the trip answered any doubts that they may have had

Turner: Having Justise(from Texas)/Jah there and sitting down with Jahlil and K was one of the best things possible for us. Still think it's a longshot fwiw. Seemed to have a good time with Garrett/Romo since he's a Cowboys fan

 ~~Kennard has 'great visit' to Duke Premium Story

Luke Kennard took an official visit to Duke this past weekend. His father recapped the trip and talked about the next step in recruitment with Scout.com. Luke Kennard took his first official visit this pasted weekend. The five-star guard out of Franklin (Ohio) High traveled to Durham (N.C.) to visit Mike Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils. “It went great,” Luke’s father – Mark – told Scout.com. “It was an experience that he won’t ever forgot. The game, the atmosphere, the University and just everything about it was really a neat experience for Luke, Jenifer and I.”

The elder Kennard said Luke and his family liked the personal feel of the University. “One of the things is Duke is a very intimate setting,” he said. “You get that feel from the basketball team, but also from the school. The campus is that way. Everybody is very friendly. The game last night. Cameron indoor seats 9,5000 and you just get that feeling. ” “Coach K told Luke he’d really like to coach and him and told him he thought he fit his system well,” he added. “It was just a really good visit.” Duke’s style of play and system also stuck out to the Kennard’s. “The thing is he gives his players freedom,” Kennard said. “He lets his players make plays and I think that’s something that excited Luke. Also [we liked] the way his former players feel about him, and all his former players are assistant coaches.”

To go with experiencing Duke’s win over North Carolina, the Kennard’s were able to see the campus and get a general feel for the school. “He did the regular stuff and met with the admission guys and the academic guys, which was neat too,” he said. “It’s a great school and a beautiful campus. It was just a great visit.” What’s the next step for Kennard, Scout.com’s No. 14 prospect? “That’s something we are going to sit down to talk about,” Kennard said. “Luke narrowed his list to five or six. We are going to take a hard look and see who else he wants to take an official visit too.” “I’d say Kentucky and Ohio State would be a couple [we might visit],” he added. “Obviously he only has five, and I’m not sure he’ll take all five.” Although no dates have been set, Kennard said they talked to Ohio State about a possible official visit in April.

To go with Duke, Kentucky and Ohio State, Kennard also listed North Carolina, Michigan, Louisville and Florida as being involved.

Kennard also noted that their plan is to come up with a decision in May or June.

Ohio people have thought Kennard to UK for a while. Think the family has some tie there.

sister plays volleyball there I believe. ED/BS have said they think Kennard may have cooled on UK. One interesting quote was that Luke said he would start at the top of his list(favorites) and take his officials in that order. Duke was his first official. Said if he thought it was the right place he would go ahead and commit shortly after and not take anymore officials

How good is he, and who is who in that picture

High scoring lefty SG, dropped 40+ several times this past season. Good enough that Duke has made him a priority even though we are good at the 2 guard.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

This one is setting up as Duke v Ohio St right now with UK running a clear third. If I had to guess right now I would guess Duke, but that is of course subject to change.

If somebody told me when I was p[laying high school ball that in the future 3 NCAA conference POY's would be Canadian, I wouldn't have believed it for a second.

Golden Generation.

Tj Warren being Tj Warren, 36 and counting

Wichita State was one of my preseason sleepers to make a deep tournament run along with VCU, like Final 4 deep. Saw enough of Marshall. Respect Early, Cotton, Baker, VanVleet. But I must admit I picked them to lose numerous times this season and the Shockers continue to prove me wrong with resiliency. On record for my failed upsets picks against Indiana State twice, Missouri State, and Northern Iowa.

Yes

Myles is the longshot. Texas is still the favorite IMO

TJ Warren with 42. Looks like that's what he'll end with

I wouldn't give POY to McDermott.

 

[biiggtone]

Doug the POY by Default..

I would replace Prather and "Slo Mo" with Kane and VanVleet as Wooden Finalists. Creighton's not winning the BE tourney. I prefer to see POY go to Nick Johnson, Bari, or Russ.
