Julius Randle blogs about cutting UNC and Duke from his list

Posted Oct 16, 2012
Julius Randle: "A lot of people were shocked by my list because Duke and North Carolina weren’t on it. The only thing that I can say is, I had to make the best decision for me. A lot of people would leave them on their list for show or something like that, but I didn’t think those were the best fit for me. Those are two great schools and I really have a lot of respect for the coaches. That’s why I didn’t want to string them along if I knew that I wasn’t gonna go there." (USA Today)
