Evidently, the entire Duke basketball staff was already on tap for a cross-country trip to visit with Paolo Banchero prior to the five-star’s Friday announcement of nine finalists: Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Baylor, Memphis, Georgetown, Gonzaga, and Washington.
Thursday night, the five-star 2021 power forward reportedly informed Stock Risers’ Jake Weingarten that Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski and all of his assistants plan to be at his O’Dea High School (Wash.) on Tuesday. Weingarten later reported that UNC will send assistant Hubert Davis to Seattle for the same reason on Wednesday.
