Michigan State and Duke both started the season ranked in the Top 10, if my memory serves me. MSU now 4-4 with a home loss to Wisconsin. MSU's Top 5 recruit, Xavier Booker got no minutes in the WI game. Jeremy Fears played 14 minutes.
Meanwhile, Duke is 5-3. From what I've noticed Jaden Schutt hasn't removed his warmups yet. He's been recruited over in 2023, in 2024, and probably will be in 2025 as well. Wonder about his mindset - stay at Duke for the "glory" of being on an annual candidate for the FF, or seek out a school in the portal that could use his 3-point shooting ability? Or maybe he can't play defense.
And then Rutgers just picked up Ron Harper's little brother, the #3 recruit in the 2024 class to go along with the #2 recruit in that class and two others. Are these two guys just one year rentals for RU or do they stay for at least a couple of years and compete for the B1G title and a shot at the FF??
