No. 1 recruit R.J. Barrett feeling the Duke hate already

Posted Nov 28, 2017
Despite R.J. Barrett being the resident nice guy he’s noticed that as of November 10 his reception, at least in the pregame, has become a bit chillier. “I notice those boos now,” Barrett said with a laugh. Such is the life of a high school player who’s signed on to join the most hated program in sports. Barrett picked Duke over Oregon and Kentucky. (USA Today)
