1 the same way Brand and Boozer were bribed with Navigators to go to Duke? Everyone knows as a reported fact that Baron Davis himself said he wanted to go to Duke but K turned him down to recruit the idiot with the 1.4 GPA.
2 Cisse and his guardian broke all sorts of NCAA rules and he was too stupid to qualify anyway like his brother sitting out at Louisville, yet K still chose to recruit him instead of going after smart talented centers that would have won a national title for Duke in 2002 like Emeka Okafor and David Harrison who wanted to go to Duke even though K was ignoring him.
3 Jacobsen was Stanford's best player all 3 years and dominated Dunleavy as Stanford beat much more talented Duke teams twice, Duke could have won 3 national titles with Jacobsen, or 4 since his numbers may not have been good enough for him to go pro at Duke.
4 Mathis liked Ivy League and UVA but not Duke? BS, K just didn't recruit him or anyone else with talent and academics, K liked talentless Sweet who barely qualified, put on immediate academic probation and transferred, for no reason, did he owe someone a favor, what the hell was that about?
5 Does K just go after the top 2 or 3 players in the nation every year no matter what position they play, from soph or junior rankings? Who did K recruit at Army when he didn't have the Crazies and ESPN? K could have the #1 recruiting class every year and still get his ass kicked in the third round because he's not going to play half his stars anyway.
5a learn to count, K recruited Shannon Brown very late right before he committed elsewhere and shouldn't have gone after a SG at all since Duke has Ewing, Reddick, angeleyes, etc., and needed a PG.
6 6'8", 220, Luol Deng, and 6'8", 230, Kris Humphries, and 6'10", 200, Ndudi Ebi, are all PFs, still growing, and Ebi and Humphries could even be Duke type centers along with SheWill and benchwarmer Thompson, K obviously knows Wojo is the worst big man coach ever but he needs to recruit a PG.
7 Dockery may not even be top 40, most Duke recruits are overrated like Wojo, Collins, Joe Beard, etc., he can't shoot and his stock has been dropping rapidly and he gets killed everytime he plays another PG, outscored 14 to 0 by Felton, 24 to 4 by McNamara, 32 to 8 by an injured Ingram, etc.
8 Duhon is on the 3 year plan and has zero reason to stay, almost every top prospect claims he's planning to stay then drops out like Brand, Avery, Maggette, and Dunleavy, at least 90% chance Duhon goes pro early.
9 angeleyes himself says he's a 2 guard, plays 2 guard, and ballhandling is his biggest weakness, what's scary is that K probably did tell him he'll play PG and Duke won't have any talented PGs on the roster soon, and only one mediocre idiotic PG who even played the position in HS. The way K ignores depth, it probably won't matter anyway, K would find a way to lose no matter how much talent and depth Duke had at every position.
