[quote="Chicago Days" post=341446]I'm reluctant to be too high on seasoned, successful, HC's who are former Dukies.
If this guy is the 'heir apparent' to Coach K, I'd label him a 'risky' hire for us.
But maybe he isn't, since an NCAA-BB piece last September ranked Wojo 1, Capel 2, Collins 3, Hurley 4, and Amaker 5.
Dawkins was unmentioned.
Interesting.[/quote]
Agree with what a few others have said. Dawkins was heir apparent even when he left for Stanford. He may have slid a bit since but not that far. I'd think it's Dawkins, Capel and Wojo in that order...assuming K does what we all expect him to and leave the job to a Duke. Also could see wojo jumping capel quickly if Marquette continues to do very well.

Sure, as long as keeps on recruiting those 7'3'' guys.[/quote]

I forgot that. I think during the ncaa game, they said he's one of the top 40 tallest humans on earth.

Big dude for sure, but he sure looks fragile.
