Austin Rivers to Duke

[MarkCharles]

#1 player nationally according to ESPN

Seems like a perfect fit. As much as I dislike Coach K, I respect the hell out of the job he does.

The pieces are starting to fall into place nationally. Hopefully, we will be able to say the same about MU's targets before too long. Waiting for a commitment is getting really tiresome.

Thanks for sharing.  I have a UNC and a DUKE grad in my group so the two of them are going to crazy today.

Hope this doesn't affect Miller...

Also, cool story Chicos

Who knows what affects Miller. Latest word is that the guy he now wants to play with is Seattle pg Tony Wroten. Wroten has had a crazy recruitment, but he has seemed like a Washington lean for a while. However, he recently tweeted something to the effect of "I'm really liking Louisville right now". We should probably hope he chooses Wash over Louisville for our chances with Miller.

The two of them are going at it right now.  It's rather funny.  Nothing like having a Duke grad and a UNC grade in offices next to each other.  Comical to say the least

You are lucky.  I work in a group consisting of me and 12 women.  I just worked my way out of a conversation about prom dresses.

That is funny.  Did you use the old stand by "Off like a prom dress"?  That would have gone over well

happens everyday down here in the raleigh area. Plus add in the NC State grads.

We normally get the day to day USC vs UCLA banter here.  Throw in the occasional Cal and Stanford grad as well.

I have 2 from each all within about 20 feet of each other.  I think I'll e-mail them the story and see what happens.

[mu-rara]

I have Bear fans in my office, in downtotwn MKE for God's sake.

[PJDunn]

I have a fairly decent connection to the UW program and they think that Wroten is a lock.  That being said, they have had some last minute surprises on the recruiting trail thanks to coach cal recently, so we shall see.

Speaking of Duke, the story in Deadspin today about the woman's thesis on "horizontal academics" is a classic

How does Duke keep doing it? I know they have better weather, but is their campus as pretty as ours?

Hahahaha

Yes, their campus is like an Ivy League campus in the south. Do you even consider MU's campus pretty, except for a few pockets here and there?

I bet Coach K's 4 national titles has something to do with it as well.....

It always amazes me how their campus is a couple minutes from the dump that is downtown Durham yet is completely isolated and looks like a completely different world.

For an urban campus, MU is pretty good and getting better.

Compared to a more "traditional" college campus, MU doesn't look so hot.

[mileskishnish72]

MU's a city school, no doubt - but I've got to say, I got a chance to get back to Milwaukee a couple of years ago and I thought it looked pretty darn good - certainly better than back in the day. Used to park up on 15th and now that's all blocked off and actually looking campus-like.

Really?

Go to Yale in New Haven, or Princeton in NJ, USC which borders Compton, University of Chicago...all the exact same way

Yup.  When many of these universities were founded, including Marquette, the locations were prime.  See Pabst Mansion next to MU.  But as people fled the cities to the suburbs, the surroundings changed considerably in the neighborhoods surrounding these schools.   Yale stunned me...just a few blocks off campus.  Pittsburgh was the same way.  USC, no doubt.  University of Chicago, etc, etc.
