Quote:

Rivals TOC Coverage: Day 1 (Friday)

Quote:

DURHAM, N.C. -- Friday night at Duke University had some highlights on the first day of action at the Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions.

Mason Plumlee played his first game inside the walls of Cameron Indoor Stadium since committing to the program and the locals came to see him in action. The Blue Devil commitment clearly understands the religion of Duke hoops. He soaked it all in on Friday night. The Cameron Crazies, at least some of them, piled into the cozy confines of college basketball's most sacred venue to see Plumlee in action.

Plumlee is a rare prospect because of his size, skill level and versatility. He passes it well and runs the floor like a guard. The big man must get stronger and must finish the chip shots around the rim though. He could have easily had 20-plus points had he converted the easy ones. Overall though, the Crazies were buzzing with his play after the game.

N.C. 5 on the Rise

Elite talent pool filling up again

Quote:

North Carolina hasn't had a McDonald's All-American since Chris Paul in 2003, but that drought almost certainly is ending because elite players are emerging at the state's high schools.

"I don't know how to explain it," said Christ School coach David Gaines, who helped Telep at the Carolina Challenge. "It's absolutely the truth. As a North Carolinian, we take pride in that."

Better to give, says Duke recruit

Quote:

"(Miles) is really good at finishing around the basket because he's gotten so much stronger and everything," Mason Plumlee said.

"I think we could play on the floor together pretty well. A lot of brothers, their games are so similar. But I think we're a little different, which is nice."

Gibbons TOC: Day 1 Rundown

Quote:

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Opening night at the Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions consisted of 3 games on fabled Smith Center courts. Kenny Boynton was the big producer with 33 opening night points.

Duke fans will tell you that.

Florida, Lousivulle, and probably a couple other schools have just as good of a shot at landing him though.

Nevermind...

"Right now, I feel like I have a good relationship with Coach K," he said. "And I like their style of offense, the way they run four out with one big man in.

"Right now, they're really at my top."

Despite that last statement, Boynton clarified that he's not playing favorites at this point among Duke, Texas, Memphis, Georgia Tech and Florida.

Yes they are. He is a kid they must land IMO. He gives them a PG who can do something off the dribble, and is actually a legit offensive threat shooting and going to the basket. TM after seeing that video whats your opnion of Mason?
