Top junior center Jahlil Okafor blogs about recruitment
Posted Oct 8, 2012
Jahlil Okafor: "I am headed to Duke for their Midnight Madness. I can’t wait. I wish we were going today. I’ll be meeting up with my boy Tyus Jones so I know that it’ll be fun to sit down and talk to Coach K together. At some point that weekend, we’ll get over to North Carolina, too. I know coach (Roy) Williams just had a surgery so I hope to get some time with him. I texted him telling him that I hoped he would have a speedy recovery. He sent two assistants to my school last week and they told me how much he really wanted to come himself so that meant a lot to me."
