Duke Recruiting: RJ Barrett Close?

Generally speaking, when Kentucky oriented sites start saying that a player is likely to pick Duke, we pay attention.

So it is now with RJ Barrett: A Sea of Blue and the Lexington paper both predict he’ll choose Duke, and soon (links below).

We’ll see. It is fun to consider Duke with Barrett and Cam Reddish, not to mention Tre Jones behind the wheel. That’s a group with massive potential on both ends of the court.

That would probably put Duke out of it with Zion Williamson, but Clemson apparently remains a serious option.

Williamson, by the way, was in Lawrence for Saturday’s Late Night in the Phog.
