The number 1 player in the country has officialy set a visit date to visit Duke.  Greg Monroe will be on campus Oct 28th for the Blue / White game.  If you plan on attending the game, please let Monroe know how much we want him at Duke!

This could be a bigtime signing for Coack K and the staff if Monroe does decide to join the Duke family.  Right up there with a Elton Brand or Shane Battier signing.

The #1 rated player in the class of 2008 has trimmed his list of possible schools to five.  Home state school LSU will host Monroe the first weekend of October, and then Georgetown gets a shot at him during midnight madness. Duke, Texas and UConn round out the list of five, but official visit dates have not yet been set for those three schools.

If Coach K and the Duke assistant coaches can get Monroe to come to Duke, it will be one of the bigger signings in quite a while.  Monroe is a bigtime player that can help right away in the low post game.

Lets all hope for the best, and hopefully Monroe will have a great visit when he checks out Duke.

Olek Czyz took a visit too Louisville then went back home for a day and decided that he wanted to committ to the Duke Basketball program.  Czyz is a power forward from Reno, Nevada who averaged 18.7 points and 8.3 rebounds during his Junior season.

Czyz is rated as a three-star by rivals.com and 28th rated power forward in the country.  Czyz really enjoyed playing some pick up games during his Duke visit.  He enjoyed playing with Taylor King, Kyle Singler, and Nolan Smith who will be freshman this year.

Welcome to the Duke Family Mr. Czyz

Patrick Patterson today announced that he will be attending Kentucky next fall.  He was the last player that the Duke coaching staff was trying to sign for the 2007 recruiting class.  It wasn’t meant to be, as Patterson selected the Wildcats over Duke and Florida.

Now with Patterson off the board, look for the Blue Devils and Coack K to go after Greg Monroe #1 rated bigman in next years signing class.  It will be tough to get him, but I wouldn’t put it past this coaching staff after striking out with Patterson this year and Wright the year before.

Patrick Patterson, the nation’s top-rated uncommitted senior and a Duke basketball recruiting target, plans to announce his college plans May 16, his high school coach said Tuesday.

Patterson, a 6-foot-8 power forward, will take time this weekend to decide between Duke, Kentucky and Florida, said Huntington High coach Lloyd McGuffin.

Rated the No. 11 prospect in the nation by scout.com, Patterson would be an important addition for Duke after 6-foot-10 Josh McRoberts left for the draft following his sophomore season.

Patterson will be a huge committ for the Blue Devils if he does indeed choose Duke.  He is a player that can step right in and help this team win some ballgames next year.  I would love to see Patterson and Singler on the floor at the same time as freshman, I think they would do great!

In front of nearly 2,000 curious spectators, Kyle Singler showed Rogue Valley basketball fans last Friday just how far he’s taken his game since we last saw him go head-to-head against Lake Oswego’s Kevin Love in the Class 4A state championship game last March.

Singler was good enough then to be an elite Division I recruit, with the likes of Duke, UCLA, Arizona, Kansas and Washington in hot pursuit of his hoop services.

After watching him dominate another D1 recruit — Canby’s Clint Chapman — in a 78-56 Panthers victory, it’s evident that the 6-foot-9, 215-pound Singler is nearly twice the player he was nine months ago.

Kyle Singler is expected to commit to the Duke Blue Devils tomorrow during a press conference at his high school.  We have been blogging about Singler for a while now and told everyone that he was a very strong lean towards Duke.  Hopefully he makes that official tomorrow!

Kyle Singler could be the next big-name prospect to announce for an Atlantic Coast Conference school.  Ranked No. 5 among the country’s high school seniors by prepstars.com, the 6-foot-9 forward is leaning toward Duke over Kansas and Arizona.

Singler, who is from Medford (Ore.) High School, recently eliminated UCLA. He reportedly will make a commitment before November.

It will be an interesting few weeks and I’ve heard for multiple sources that Singler is indeed a big lean towards the Blue Devils.  This is great news for Duke Fans!  Another stud looks to be headed to the program.
