Zion Williamson: COMMITTED to... ... ... Duke

[KCKUKFan]

The poster "coach" over on Rupp's Rafters, a coach who has proven to have connections in the coaching world, says that there will be a shakeup on the bench this off-season and that there are "flyers" out there for a BIG name, probably a former NBA player, who would automatically boost recruiting.

And, yes, I would take O back in a heartbeat. He has no show-cause and he's at Illinois right now.

Ditch Justus (who, by all accounts, is a great guy) and Barbee (a dud) and replace them with O and this mystery guy.

[Downes Van Zandt]

Cal's gotta can Tony Barbee. Probably Joel Justus.

I agree. But then what? Get Coach O to come back?

"Hot recruiters" is an area in which I'm not all that familiar.

UK wasn’t even an option for Zion. Duke, UNC, Clemson, and USC were the schools he was considering.

And to think last year Zion to UK was considered a lock by most. Would love to know what in the hell is going on with Cal.

Do you just copy and paste your posts on Rupp's Rafters? lol

If I am reading the following article correctly, Zion wasn't considering UK. What are others opinions?

Barrett, Reddish, and Zion . WTH

[Spiritof96]

I knew there was a reason I never liked him.

[J.Jennings]

All this fuss and speculation, and he's just not that good.

Good enough Duke landed the top 3 players, Cal losing epically to Coack K now...

[J.Jennings]

Every player Cal sets his sights on , Duke now gets the 1st pick of the litre. Coack K turned the tide (Barret, zion,Bagley, etc,etc), if Cal cant recruit, what else can he do?

[catfaninin]

Whoa....No one saw that coming. Duke might just be prety good next year.

[UK8STL11]

Lots of UNC chatter on Twitter today about Zion going there.

Could be the classic last minute noise but damn, if he ends up at UNC I may be done with college basketball.

[KCKUKFan]

The only reason I think Knox would be a bigger suprise than Zion is that nobody EVER picked Kentucky for Knox. They were barely even an afterthought. Zion was practically a Kentucky lock for the first two or three years of his major recruitment, which is why it would be even more surprising if Cal let somebody come in and swipe him away in the final year.

[Will Lavender]

It would be a way bigger shock with Zion because never with Knox did you have a clear leader. People have been saying Clemson for a good two or three weeks.

For Zion to choose Kentucky it would have to have been a carefully orchestrated smoke screen...or he just didn't know and the experts were running on speculation. Because I'm of the mind that these kids always know way earlier in the process than they let on, I have to think he's either staying in South Carolina (likely) or he's put together some sort of hype production so that he can get more clout by picking a different school at the end (unlikely).
