FWIW (which probably isn't much considering how confident so many Duke people were about Barnes), Duke wouldn't trade places with the other teams in the recruitment right now.

You've been very reliable so far . . . (Edited for clarity)Barnes is announcing on Friday. It is between Duke and UNC (and perhaps Kansas). Expect him to announce UNC. it will be Duke. i expect Roscoe to drop us after that, but it won't be because Duke doesn't want him there as well.

^^C0_Hoya pasted a prediction made by shf9 concerning Barnes a couple of weeks ago. His predicton ("it will be Duke...") was that Barnes would pick Duke and as a result Roscoe would drop Duke after that.

...which is why i qualified my statement. Roscoe called K immediately after Barnes' commitment (Roscoe's words), which has made Duke people fairly confident.

Unless there's something else you are referring to, Roscoe's words were that he "talked" to Coach K right after the Barnes announcement. Not that he called Coach K. That's a big difference. It would make sense that Coach K would call him to play damage control after losing their number 1 target.

either it is quite evident that the recent hoya non-signings reflect an imminent smith signing; or,we are simply getting shut out of the last round of top prospects. i think the former.

Apparently K read him a love letter from one of the faithful, and the rest was history. Roscoe ended the call by saying he felt prepared for life.

Listen - get past the sweet 16 for the first time in half a decade, then come back and talk smack. Coach K only has a few more years left. Fear your future.

So after looking at some pictures of the game, (and being able to see the the people behind the bench in question in them), and then looking at a picture of Roscoe Smith, I still have no idea if it was him at the game or not. Since most are reporting he wasn't there, I am going with the idea that the boy has a freakishly close body double out there(though it wasn't the boy in Carolina blue, like someone said, atleast not the Roscoe look-a-like). It might help though if someone who actually knows Roscoe looked at pictures of the game to determain.

Avoid it going forward.--Admin

Duke fans will always think that the recruit is going to choose them, because they're arogant, delusional, Editeds. See: every recruit they've missed on ever most recently: Barnes, Monroe, Patterson, Wright(brandon). I so hope Roscoe announces tomorrow. And picks us before visiting duke officially, just like greg.

I know i was right by the bench had out the iPhone looked back and forth between his picture online and the kid behind the bench. If it wasn't him then there's another basketball player out there who looks a lot like him.
