    If I am a hot prospect and have a chance to go to Duke for free I am taking that deal. If the NBA is not in my future because I get hurt or I am not as good as people think I am then my resume will look a lot better with Duke on it than with Georgetown.

    Carolina already got 2 top players from the year and are in the race for more. This doesn't bother me at all.

    Georgetown is a pretty good school.

    It's relative. Duke isn't that great compare to some other schools in certain disciplines. In any case, if the guy goes to Duke or Georgetown he's got an excellent diploma and just a good a chance of making the NBA.

    Georgetown is a good school compared to anyone, although you're right that it's not as prestigious as Duke. I also find it weird that two recruits deciding to go elsewhere prompts an article about how Duke & Carolina can't draw big recruits anymore. What rubbish.

    Brandon Jennings for Oak Hill Academy is ranked #1 pg in the nation i think...a lot of the players on my team saw him play a few weeks ago and said he is definitely overrated...what does everybody else think???
