Kenny Boynton, Scout.com's No. 8 player in the land, is expected to announce his decision tonight.
Boynton was set to visit Texas this weekend, but canceled that trip and one next weekend to Duke.
It would be a major surprise if he doesn't pick in-state Florida. Georgia Tech and USC are also involved.
If Boynton does choose the Gators, don't be shocked if Coach K and the Blue Devils make a run at John Wall.
..
Goodman is on point, but Wall? Duke's not getting into any bidding wars.

Who you tellin, cats is leavin Arizona like it's no tomorrow.
But Dre how you think our Devils gonna do this year? Im thinking 2nd in the conference and hopefully a sweet 16 run. I think nolan is going to have a goodyear, and we need Gerald to go ahead and have that breakout year. He and Nolan are going to have to be that defensive stopper that DeMarcus was. Singlershould improve, Scheyer will be good, Paulus will be steady. But like last year no inside scoring is going to hurt.

I guess that Duke really is recruiting Wall now. . Would hate to see Wall in a Duke uniform but it doesn't look like we'll have to worry about thatanyways because he doesn't sound to interested

For people complaining about Memphis' weak competition
Two of the NCAA's most prolific teams - Duke and North Carolina - might find a place on the Tigers' basketball schedule as soon as next year.
"We don't have written contracts, but both schools have said they wanted to play us," said Coach John Calipari.
According to Calipari, preliminary talks with the other schools have the Duke-Memphis contest taking place in Chicago next year, then it would become a home-and-home series through 2011-12.
"Duke is starting in Chicago, which would be a great neutral event," Calipari said.
The match-up with the Tar Heels will likely begin at home next year, and then in Chapel Hill, N.C., the following year. Since nothing is finalized yet, Calipari isn't completely sure on the date.
"The only one that's a little bit shaky is North Carolina," he said. "If they can't start next year, they'll start the following year."
But those aren't the only teams calling the Tigers for games.
"Louisville's called to play us in Nashville," Calipari said. "You know I want to play Tennessee in Nashville, but if they don't want to play us in Nashville, we'll have the biggest game maybe in the history of the state - Louisville and us."
If The University of Memphis plays the Volunteers in the state's capital, both teams would receive a split portion of the proceeds.
"I would like to play them every year in Nashville and make it the event of the state. And have all of the money stay in the state," he said.
Since only the home team receives money from ticket sales, Calipari said, a neutral site in Nashville would give both schools a "low estimate" of around $300,000.
Even with the promise of splitting money, Tennessee declined the opportunity.
Though Calipari noted that adding the likes of Duke and UNC to the schedule might seem like a handful, it won't affect any of the Tigers' other big-time games.
"Duke next year, Kansas next year, Louisville next year. That's what we're trying to do," he said. "You still have Syracuse, you still have Georgetown. You still have Gonzaga, you still have Tennessee."
If the Tigers experience the same amount of success as they have in the past few seasons, Calipari said, the team should be back to the same level as last year. It just depends on how the schedule treats them.
"It's as big a schedule as anybody in the country - toughest schedule of anybody in the country."

Gotta give props to Kansas recruiting though ; from Kusports;
On Wall Street of late, the rich have gotten poorer. Not the case in college basketball, where defending national champion Kansas University is involvedstrictly with McDonald's All-American-caliber recruits, even having to say no thanks to some.
Another packed Allen Fieldhouse for Friday night's annual Late Night in the Phog could seal the deal for coach Bill Self's recruiting class.
The guys Self doesn't have room for could form a recruiting class that would rank among the nation's top handful.
The remaining players on KU's wish list are so talented that it has become a race to say yes. You lose that race, you can't come play forKansas.
Power forward Thomas Robinson, ranked No. 18 in the class of 2009 by Rivals.com, said yes to Kansas, so there wasn't any room for No. 22 Daniel Orton.He settled for Kentucky.
KU has one more scholarship, but with Sherron Collins a lock to leave after his junior season, Self comfortably can recruit a class of three. The first oftwo point guards he's still recruiting to say yes gets to play for the defending national champs. So does the first of four shooting guards.
Point guard John Wall of Raleigh, N.C., is ranked No. 1 and considered by many sharp eyes for talent to be an equal to Memphis lead guard Derrick Rose. IfWall isn't KU's point guard next season, then Elijah Johnson of Las Vegas likely will be Collins' successor. Johnson's ranked 27th in theclass, but that doesn't mean he necessarily would be a worse get than Wall. Johnson would stick around a few years, getting better each winter the wayMario Chalmers did. Wall's a one-and-done lottery pick.
At shooting guard, Oklahoma City's Xavier Henry, son of former KU player Carl Henry, is ranked third in the nation. He, too, is a definite one-and-doneprospect. Lance Stephenson (No. 9) of Brooklyn might be a none-and-done risk. He and his father have talked about the possibility of his playing professionallyin Europe right out of high school.
No. 11 Michael Snaer of California and No. 16 Dominic Cheek of New Jersey, a high school teammate of Kansas freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor, have outstandingrange on their jumpers.
Henry, Snaer, Cheek, Stephenson and Johnson are scheduled to attend Late Night.
When all the decisions are made, Self will end up with a power forward (Robinson), a point guard (Wall or Johnson) and a shooting guard (Henry, Stephenson,Snaer or Cheek), all virtual locks to be named McDonald's All-Americans. Clearly, after winning the national title and signing a 10-year contract, Self hasbecome a better recruiter than ever.
Friday will be an interesting night for coach Bonnie Henrickson's women's basketball team as well. The public will get its first glimpse of 5-foot-3freshman point guard Angel Goodrich, a talent from Tahlequah, Okla., who has the chance to become a program-changer.
Recruits making their official visits to KU - Lawrence High's Tania Jackson, San Antonio wing Monica Engleman, Dallas guard Chynna Brown and guardMarisha Brown of Kansas City - shouldn't have any trouble envisioning Goodrich setting them up for scoring opportunities.
