We all know some players will leave for greener pastures by season's end freeing up some roster spots. However, I disagreed with taking on so many new players that will be eligible next season because I feel like it makes getting this fantastic, interested recruit, (or others like him), to commit next to impossible.

This guy is a home-grown program elevator. I hope Coach D can work his magic.

Maceo signed his National Letter Of Intent to play for Duquesne today. Great recruit up for the Dukes!

Thought the kid on the right was a coach or is he.

That's 6'9" Oscar Tshiebwe who signed with WVU. I hope WVU will be back on our schedule soon.

5 star recruit. Absolute freak athletically.

Maceo scored 31 and 24 in his last two games. The consensus is that this kid is a high major player and a big steal for the Dukes.

Kennedy beat Erie for the D-10 championship. Maceo scored 27. Kennedy playing up to 6A this year. Hope they make it to the finals to see how Maceo performs against one of those Philadelphia schools.

Seems like Maceo is smarter than the article's author. That's quite the local bias.

I am really excited about this kid!

Sure would be nice if he's good enough to start next year.

This kid is recognized to have All League talent by national rating groups. Our backcourt with Carry, Maceo and Williams will dynamic.

The Duke's stole a major recruit in Maceo Austin but what is "All League" status?

It doesn't say anything about "status", it is a comment about his talent and a video. Per the link above: "Duquesne corralled an All-League talent. Austin, ability to score the ball by the boat load w/ the poise and control to set the offense & take what the defense gives him."

**Posted by apluski** 3/07/2019 4:31 pm

CLK, I did not intend to offend you by using the word "status" in place of the word talent" in my question regarding Maceo Austin. Thank you for pointing out my insensitive word choice. I apologise for my offensive mistake and assure you that, in the future, I will make every possible effort to not use a wrong word in my posts.

**Posted by CLK** 3/07/2019 6:30 pm

apluski, I was not offended, nor was it my intention to offend or criticize you. I did not understand your question/comment. I thought you were not able to open the link to see what I was referring to. This board is not the best way to communicate. My apology.
