<p>^ Actually, man, our biggest need was a guard! That was our #1 priority!
For now, we’ve got Kyle Singler, Ryan Kelly, and Mason Plumlee as quality big men, and next season we’ve got verbal commit Joshua Hairston (PF) and hopefully Harrison Barnes (Andre Dawkins’ friend), who happens to be the #1 recruit overall in his class.</p>
<p>We’ve got multiple Final 4 appearances in our near future. Easily.</p>
<p>Andre Dawkins was actually “held back” in high school. Typical Duke “scholar” athlete. Well, what do you expect from a school that’s known more for basketball than academics?</p>
<p>Lots of kids get held back in late middle school for basketball purposes, not because they are dumb. They do it so they can start their freshman year.</p>
