DAWKINS DECIDES

Duke became the latest to land a major junior commitment, getting a key pledge from VA WG Andre Dawkins, who chose the Blue Devils over early offers from numerous high-major programs. Not surprisingly for a Duke recruit, Dawkins is a terrific perimeter shooter who has easy range to the three-point line and the sort of college-ready release that should enable him to make the adjustment to ACC-level defenses relatively easily.

Dawkins also is a good athlete who is hardly a stand-in-place prospect. He has strong shoulders as well and, when pressured, can get to the rim and draw contact. A standout for the always-loaded Boo Williams Summer League team, he also has shown he can blend in with other highly talented teammates.
