Shavlik Randolph To Announce For Duke

Shavlik Randolph (right), a talented skilled forward from Raleigh (NC) Broughton, is expected to announce for Duke this week, according to our sources in the ACC.

An announcement is expected to be in the next 48 hours. According to the Durham Herald-Sun, Randolph will announce on Wednesday at 4 PM (www.heraldsun.com). Randolph has already made contact with the coaches in the process.

Randolph had been leaning to Duke for the past several months. Randolph goes about 6-9, 6-10 and weighs from 210-215 pounds. Randolph is considered a top 40 player and is likely to find alot of support from voters for the McDonald's All American game. The game will be held next March at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The reason why he will have support is because of his skills. He is a very good offensive player with the ability to take the ball to the basket effectively.

After grabbing Randolph, Duke has again forged ahead with the nation's number one class (at this stage of the recruiting game). Add in Michael Thompson, Lee Melchionni, Sean Dockery, J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams along with Randolph, and you have to say this is one of the best Blue Devils' classes in their rich history.
