Jalen Johnson recently committed to Duke but apparently it took him a while to realize it was the perfect place for him because he grew up as a Duke hater.
Johnson told USAToday that “Honestly, I was not a Duke fan growing up. Hated Duke. But once you get to see Duke, there’s nothing to hate about it. I love that school. I can’t wait to get there.”
It reminds us a bit of Chris Carrawell who liked UNLV and Michigan as a kid and couldn’t stand Duke - until he got here.
He told us that he felt totally at home and at peace when he got to Duke and that it just clicked for him.
