Anybody else see this?

Wonder why you wouldn't state the 2 teams if you have it trimmed more. Hopefully the coaches not chosen are aware and can go about adjusting as needed.

Interesting? At this stage its hard to see which way he's leaning. How many visits has Roy had with him?

 

[RoseHeel]

Willing to bet money we're not one of them.

The order of likelihood where he goes is something like Duke < Kentucky < St. Louis < UNC

 

[TraBuch]

I think the fact that he's ready to declare after taking only one official visit speaks volumes.

 

[BillyL]

dOOk has this kid wrapped up.

 

[Bur-Heel]

Tatum has never even visited Unc!!

 

[lobstersgopinchpinch]

Duke or SLU. As a Duke fan I hope it's us, but both his Dad and coach have said they're openly pushing for SLU...

SLU..... If it's dook, we have 0% chance at Giles and Smith. IMO the only reason we made Taytum's final 4 was because of the possibility of teaming with Giles and Smith, thus why I think he is SLU bound.

I think if we can prove no problems with this NOA bull crap, and prove it soon rather then later.. We can still make a good push for this kid. Sounds like a kid who likes UNC just doesnt know whats going on with this NOA stuff..

Another Casualty of the whole "scandal"

based on this article, it looks like you're right. Also doesn't say who are the final two directly, but heavily implies that it's dook and SLU:

I sincerely doubt it will matter by that point. I think he knows exactly where he's going. It's not UNC and probably never was.

JMO

Have a feeling this kid will be what we thought/hoped JMM would be...

 

[BillyL]

Tatum has daily conversations with Capel . . . this one is dOOk and its a done deal.

 

[RamHard]

Forget it guys Tatum will be at Duke.

 

[mikeirbyusa]

Exactly! Worse kept secret in college basketball.

I see his game resembling that of Jabari Parker more so than JMM. But either way, I highly doubt he's coming to UNC. And that is concerning. I never gave those package deals any merit whatsoever...until duke scored with theirs. Now there is a blueprint for these kids to look at and say, "see, ...duke did it and it worked." And with Giles and Smith also being interested in duke, the thought of those 3 going to duke with Kennard, Allen and possibly Ingram and Thornton already on the roster is downright terrifying. I'd argue that collection of talent is superior to anything UK has had in the Cal era.

looks good on paper!!
