UNC, Duke basketball recruits handicap Round 1

Posted Feb 7, 2012
If you're a college hoops fan, you probably have an opinion on who'll take Round 1 in the sport's most storied rivalry. The future of the two programs have their opinions as well. So we caught up with every player from Duke and UNC’s 2012 recruiting classes and had them make predictions for Wednesday's Duke-UNC game. Naturally, objectivity wasn’t their strong suit, so we added one 2013 player at the top of both schools’ wish lists, Prestonwood Christian (Plano, Texas) junior Julius Randle, to see who he thought would reign supreme on Tobacco Road.
