Badly needed size. YIKES!!! Wow. This is a huge signing. WOW! Thought for sure he'd stay out west. One more slot to fill as far as we know. Awesome!!! Was hoping we grabbed him. If we got haruna I'd be over the moon Awesome!!! Was hoping we grabbed him. If we got haruna I'd be over the moon Haven't heard anything about him in awhile. Is he even visiting? I believe we only have one remaining scholarship so he better hurry. Yeah Baby, been on vaca boys, but followed from afar! So excited for our Dukes. Welcome Tydus! Great get!!!!!!!!! Per verbal commits, not one school east of the St. Louis, offered Verhoeven. Per verbal commits, not one school east of the St. Louis, offered Verhoeven. Absolutely. Depending on which recruiting site you look at, it looks like he had offers from Fresno state, Nevada, Loyola Marymount, and weber state. Talented, lengthy player who can do a lot of things.

If we got haruna I'd be over the moon Just a guess on my part but I think our last scholarship goes to Patton if he commits to us next Tuesday. I would be happy with that and call this hurried recruiting effort a success. Last edited by CLK (4/21/2017 8:06 pm) Awesome!!! Was hoping we grabbed him. If we got haruna I'd be over the moon Not sure if we would go for Haruna or Patton/Jackson Jr. I think we are looking for Pg depth honestly. I think CLK is on to something. I suspect it will be Patton, but I could be wrong. Last edited by Simms (4/21/2017 11:03 pm) We have Smith and Lewis can play the one. A freshman wouldn't have to play but 5-10 minutes a night. And next year two PGs are coming in. So Coach Dambrot has a little flexibility, and may be targeting someone who can play either backcourt position. The last player the Dukes had out of California worked out pretty well. excellent get. Jodi Verhoeven @dropithealthy We have Smith and Lewis can play the one. A freshman wouldn't have to play but 5-10 minutes a night. And next year two PGs are coming in. So Coach Dambrot has a little flexibility, and may be targeting someone who can play either backcourt position. I vote for best player available regardless of need or 2017 - 18 eligibility. Just saw this (I might have missed it) Just saw this (I might have missed it) Hope he doesn't change his mind when he finds out Xavier isn't in the A10. I noticed that too, that article was written by an un named staffer who doesn't know how to get to the A-10 site to determine the schools that make up the conference..... Really a shame when folks can't do a good job at what they supposedly do for a living! Except for Z-Dub (and Mike Vucvocvan lately), compared to the coverage we've been getting?

I've watched videos on youtube comparing Patton and Jackson and I truly believe Jackson is the better player, but it depends on what you like. jackson's handle looks light years better than Patton's, but Patton looks like he finishes better and is stronger. I prefer Jackson personally, but I don't think we will get him with the Detroit connections he has.

Re: Tydus is a Duke!
I go away for 10 days and coach D. and the staff do a phenomenal job of putting together a roster that exceeds all my expectations !!
I love the addition of big , skilled, multi dimensional forward / center type players as opposed to the mostly one dimensional types ( there were rare exceptions like I. Mike ) we have seen in the past.
I love the flexibility , the interchangeable parts , and just the roster composition in general. You can tell a lot of thought went into this .
Coach D. really seems to get it. Major props to him and his staff along with the AD and administration who had the foresight to embrace this much needed change in the direction of the men's hoops program !!

Mom was a hoopster, and there's a good basketball bloodline in the family.
Basketball pervades his DNA, starting with his mother Jodi Verhoeven, who starred at Fresno State and was drafted by the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks.
