The only thing with Duke is that they are also recruiting Dennis Smith hard. I wonder how they will balance the two, and if Smith wants to commit, they have to take him, right?
Well lets just hope Smith commits to either Duke or UK, preferably Duke, in short order.
It is nice to see that Beilein is going head to head against Duke and Kentucky. There was a lot criticism on him not going after elite recruits.

Coach K told DT that he is their #1 priority. He wouldn’t tell that to more than one recruit, would he?
He also told Tyus Jones that he was the only point guard he was going to recruit until 2017
He also told Tyus Jones that he was the only point guard he was going to recruit until 2017That just doesn't make sense.
Can’t find the tweet, for some reason it doesn’t allow for us to go back a while (maybe I’m an idiot and figure it out) but I remember a recruiting guy here in MN going through all the things that Coach K had told Tyus and/or his HS coach. And that was definitely one of them. I believe Tyus was a sophomore at the time.
The Duke scenario with Smith is mostly him wanting to feel the “love”. I will be very surprised if he doesn’t end up there. He is a spectacular talent. Can’t see DTJR commiting to Duke before Smith decides. I still like our chances with Derryck. Hard to fathom them both going to the same school, probably just leverage to get Smith to move. Won’t be at all surprised if Jones is NOT a one and done, another variable.
Don’t think Goodin is all that high on UM, but staff still keeping contact is probably a good thing
Michigan will be in to watch Quentin Goodin (@Goodin_3) work out tomorrow. Wolverines offered earlier this fall. #2016Elite @STLEaglesBBall

They have an in home visit upcoming with Goodin as well.
His camp is well aware of where he stands in relation to both DTJ and Winston, so yeah he’s probably not all that high on UM.
No surprise
4* 2016 UofD PG Cassius Winston attending Midnight Madness at #MichiganState tonight and attending the football game tomorrow.

Dennis Smith, Jr. (the other PG who is K’s “top priority”) attended Duke’s version of midnight madness over the weekend. Battle was there, too, on a visit.
New film on Ramsey, reminds me of Ty Lawson
Payton Pritchard announcing next week http://www.oregonlive.com/recruiting/index.ssf/2014/11/payton_pritchard_west_linn_4-s.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Never visited Michigan AFAIK but his top seven are Gonzaga, Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Villanova and Wisconsin.
The article lists those as his top 7, but then right after they omits Michigan and Michigan State from his “alphabetical rundown”. Nothing to see there, IMO.
Let’s hope Briscoe does indeed head to UK. Rivals says St. Johns has he edge, so that generally would mean UK will land him
From what I'm hearing, Thursday is going to be a very BLUE day. Skal Labissiere & Isaiah Briscoe announce at 6:00 ET.

The Crystal Ball swung heavily in favor of UK in the past one-two days. That is to say, SJ was the leader the last time I checked earlier this week, now it’s 56% UK.
who does that help our chances with? DT?

Yes, helps with Thornton.
