In response to Local Observer
I disagree with a lot of what is being said here. I do think he will end up at Duke. Everything else could broadly be categorized into three buckets: off base, ignorant or arrogant/condescending.
Since this borders too closely on territory that falls under my #dayjob, I'll merely say that there has been a tremendous change in the way in which athletes view themselves which prioritizes brand, business and education. To pretend like a person who excels at a sport can't also pursue other interests at a very high level is, at a minimum, an incredibly outmoded way of thinking.
