La Lumiere School's 2022 guard, J.J. Starling has narrowed his list down to 5: Syracuse, Duke, Notre Dame, Stanford & Northwestern
Forget John Roberts, how could you leave out the school's true most notable alumnus, Luka Mirkovic?!?Getting Starling would be even bigger than PBJ. Convincing a top recruit who has no family ties to Evanston to choose NU over Duke would simply be incredible.
I know this is an uphill battle, but his comments sound positive. Also, he went to the same super fancy prep school as Chief Justice John Roberts (which is in Indiana) so we can assume that he appreciates Northwestern as an institution. But tough to overcome Duke from a basketball perspective and Stanford from an academic one Let's hope he wants to stay in the midwest.
The author makes a good point. If he comes in with Brumbaugh, won't they both want the ball in their hands to run the show?Duke basketball: Ranking the 5 finalists for JJ Starling
Is Duke basketball a few weeks away from coming out on top for JJ Starling? In early July, three weeks before Jon Scheyer reeled in his first recruit as Du...balldurham.com
Scheduled to visit NU 9/17.
Rowan is lead guard and Starling would be the scoring 2. I think Devin Booker has shown it works just fine next to Chris Paul, and I think Starling is okay with the notion as well.The author makes a good point.

Great! I'm sold. He should come here!!Rowan is lead guard and Starling would be the scoring 2. I think Devin Booker has shown it works just fine next to Chris Paul, and I think Starling is okay with the notion as well.
Haha then it's settled -- JJ, your table is ready! In all seriousness, though, I would have to think CCC has already made this comparison. You could also say Rowan has been brought in to play the McIntosh role and JJ would be Scottie Lindsey, but I think it would be senior-year Scottie who led the team in scoring.Great! I'm sold. He should come here!!

He loved it! He already signed. He's now already played in a bunch of games and the Cats are now a #5 seed in the NCAA tournament!!Today is his official visit! Someone please let us know if you hear how it goes!
It will be an interesting test to see if Coach K having one foot out the door removes some of the Duke mystique.I'm trying to convince myself NU has a chance.
a) Starling's official visit to Stanford was in June. He's not visiting again in this group., and Stanford only has one schollie left.
b) He announced his final five after his trip to ND. If he was really sold on ND, he wouldn't have announced the five.
c) Of course, Duke is the biggest challenge in a tough group. A 2023 top-20 PG committed on Thursday. I hope that muddies the water a bit for Starling at Duke. There's plenty of opportunity to play at NU. But then there's Duke.
d) Syracuse has a 6-6, 175 commitment. Similar size, but I guess you could say the same thing about NU.
I hope he makes it out of Durham without committing. I hope that means it's down to NU and Syracuse.
Once again, Collins is going up against an extremely strong group - Coach K/Scheyer, Boeheim and Brey. Big props if he pulls it off.
Damn, I hope so. But if you've ever seen how they built the facilities around Cameron and some of the ideas around them, there will probably need be a year or two of Duke coming down to earth before they flatten out for the long haul.It will be an interesting test to see if Coach K having one foot out the door removes some of the Duke mystique.
If thats his top 5, we have a good chance to get him. He and his parents appear to value academics significantly and on that basis cannot choose Syracuse or Notre Dame over NU. Stanford is too far away and just too different, so I would guess they get downgraded somewhat for a kid from Indiana.
Speaking purely in generalities, of course.
Ohhh. Thanks for clarifying. It explains why Syracuse made his final 5.Starling is from New York. He just attends a school in Indiana where he lives on campus.

I was only up to Syracuse twice, both times in March. Syracuse was dismal. The Carrier Dome felt like a mausoleum. However it is tough to compete with a hometownYeah, he grew up 15 minutes away from Syracuse University.

Wait... Collins landed Peanut Butter and Jelly??? Dance, here we come.
That he left Durham without committing means we’re still (at least technically) in it.

Valid point. I am going to edit the headerOk, this thread may go on for awhile...
can we please spell "guard" correctly in the title?
Its a little embarrassing.
