At the beginning of October, less than 24 hours after announcing he had received an offer from Mike Krzyzewski and his staff, Huntington Prep (W.Va.) senior power forward Jaemyn Brakefield committed to the Duke basketball program, adding to what is now the nation’s No. 1 class.
Many fans of Ole Miss, one of the longtime favorites to win the Brakefield sweepstakes, were understandably bitter after hoping to see what would have been a rare four-star — at least of the hoop variety — land in Oxford.
Two months after the power forward said yes to his last-minute suitor, some of those upset Rebels supporters began spreading rumors across social media.
