K didn't defer to Wojo.

He doesn't do that.
Duke was not really a player in Henry's recruitment.  They were around but really not seriously.

So why did Coach K fly to Rice Lake to talk to Henry multiple times?

Nukem, you are wrong on this one. Duke wanted Henry. Henry listened but told them "thanks but no thanks, I'd rather go to Marquette (or Kentucky or Michigan State)."

I know, but Duke was never really on the top of the list.  It never felt that way.  Almost felt like K was doing a favor to Wojo.  Just my take.

I'm pretty sure it was for the fishing.  Henry was just a cover.

Believe it or not, there is some decent Que in Rice Lake. Also good pie. I hear the evening pie is quite succulent. K was in town for some pie.

If Keefe doesn't come out of hiding for that, he must be dead.

So now Coach K is flying around the country to make it look like Wojo beat him for a recruit? That's probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and I've been on Scoop a long time.

So you're saying unless it actually came down to duke and us then we didn't beat them out?

This is a good deep scoop cut

Guys, it was reported on Scoop during Hank's recruitment that K was flying to Rice Lake to tell Hank to go play for Wojo at Marquette.  You can't argue with facts.

Ah, so you're one of those people who "feels" things in lieu of recognizing the facts of the matter.

Plenty of fish in that sea these days.

Sure K visited Henry.  But, the real competition were Kentucky and Michigan State. He did visits there.  Did Henry even visit Duke?

I'm with you here. I don't think traveling to Rice Lake is a big deal. These guys spend their lives doing stupid trips likes this. Wojo had almost 20 years of Coach K equity (and secrets) built up. To travel and tell a McD AA that Wojo is the right coach for him wouldn't seem like that big of a stretch.  It was a huge deal at the time for Wojo to make his mark and he called in a favor to someone he considers his second dad to help seal the deal. Not sure what is so hard to believe about that. It would be harder to believe that K would put the full court press on to try and take Wojo's 1 legitimate shot at a 5* in his first coaching gig.

Calipari made a reported trip to see Ayo Dosonmu when his recruitment was in its final stretch, I thought at the time he might have just been trying to help out his guy Antigua get his feet set at Illinois after his crappy South Florida run as Dosonmu didn't really seem like a Kentucky guard.

There was a big deal about Roy W telling Thornwell that Frank Martin was some great guy a couple years ago too. Coaches seem to stick up for other coaches they like.


Juan Anderson's Mixtape

Word is Henry was scared of competing for playing time with Steve Taylor and Gabe Levin.

Luckily, Coach K put in a good word to help Wojo seal the deal.

Reading comprehension?  I did use the word "almost".  In any event, the real competition was KY and MSU.

No I read what you wrote and comprehended it fully.

Wasn't Joey getting Duke attention before he committed here?

Wojo only inks the "easy" Coach K recruits.

Only so that K could make trips to Stevens Point to tell Joey his best option is to play next to his brother.

Yes but in this case K never offered......unlike Henry.

Mr. Sand-Knit

Hopefully we can spend the next 2-3 pages arguing whether or not Duke recruited Henry, semantics, grammar, and what we really said.  Look forward to the same people ruining this thread, as well.  Thanks in advance.

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
