This team has some insane DEPTH. The battle for playing time will be nuts. Hoping they are a group of high-character men and challenge each other every day for the main purpose of the TEAM WINNING!

Awesome pickup
Is Eli 6’8” or 6’9”? Seen both heights listed.
Regardless as a freshman still might grow before he hits the court for the Dukes!

Eli.. has arrived !!!

Great Get...
Couldn't be happier with each transfer the Dukes have landed so far..
Eli .. easily has the hightest ceiling of all our transfers...
Best part is that we have him for (hopefully) 3 more years..

Go Dukes !!!

This kid is a great pick up for Coach Dru. I was lucky enough to run into Coach and his recruits on Sunday and he really struck me as someone that could fit this team. Coach Dru should run a fast pro offense to go 10 plus deep in each game to get all these kids pushing the action and keeping them all involved because Coach Dru has the most talent right now that I've ever seen at DU.

What an incredible job of Portal recruiting by Coach Dru. Dinkins, Edwards, Corbett, Williams, Crawford, and now Wilborn are all impact players. Collectively, these 6 players average 75 ppg and 32 rebounds. With our super 6 retuning guys 🏀💪🏆 GO DUKES

Kid is a hard worker and only going to get better !!!

I had a chance to interview (on camera), Bill Walton in Ft. Myers, Fl....Circa 1992-95 ... Really fascinating individual...Bill Walton is not only, a great person to learn about basketball from...but also a great example of how to live ... A Well Lived Life !!!!

GO DUKES !!!
