Jayson Tatum, the No. 2 player in the 2016 basketball class chose Duke yesterday over St. Louis, UNC, and Kentucky. A few analysts think that it could be a package deal for Harry Giles and Tatum, as they have become very good friends since rooming together for the U-19 trials and tournament. Giles is currently the No. 1 player in the 2016 class and is considering Wake Forest, Duke, UNC, and Kentucky.
It was a busy weekend for Coach Manning, as he was one of several high level coaches taking in the Peach Jam (featuring Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum, and several other highly ranked recruits for the next few years). Analysts took notice:
Coach K, John Calipari, Rick Pitino, Kevin Ollie, Sean Miller, Jamie Dixon, Mark Turgeon, Mike Brey, Danny Manning, Fran Dunphy courtside.

Senior Associate Commissioner for Men’s Basketball Operations Paul Brazeau gets it. He grew up in the Berkshire mountains of western Massachusetts and spent virtually his entire professional life in the Northeast. But like many folks who relocate to North Carolina, he didn’t take long to appreciate what the ACC is all about.
