Apparently upon hearing about the transfer of Elliot Williams 2010 recruit Andre Dawkins is attempting to arrive in Durham a year early.
“We initiated the conversation,” Dawkins said. “We saw that Elliot was transferring and thought ‘they’re only going to have two guards, that’s kind of rough.’ I was going to go to Hargrave [Military Academy] for a year, but seeing the situation they were in, I just want to be able to help.”
This obviously benefits Duke as they were prepared to only suit up 2 scholarship guards next season. A third, although green and inexperienced definitely will take some pressure off of Nolan Smith, Jon Scheyer and Kyle Singler.
