Williamson talked about his relationship with Coach K, the Duke brotherhood, and the family atmosphere he sensed taking visits that made him feel at home. And on Monday, Kentucky coach John Calipari threw a heap of shade at Duke and the way the staff may have sold him on the program.

"I don't sell, when you come here: 'The university and the state will take care of you for the rest of your life.' You may buy that, and I've got some great property and some swampland down in Florida to sell you too. Every one of us in this country is based on, you have to take care of your self, prepare yourself, and then when you make it you make sure you're helping and along the way you're bringing other people with you. That's what we're trying to do: just give these guys the best opportunity. We're not trying to say that this university or state will take care of you for the rest of your life. There's no socialism here. This stuff is you have to go do it and we're going to help you do it. Some like that, some don't like that.

We will take care of you for life sounds like the old Joe Hall pitch for recruits.

Excuse me for being a conspiracy theorist, but I do think Duke takes care of them, in Benjamins.

I am not the only one that thinks Duke is dirty.

Jeff chapel was paying player's at Oklahoma and got fired for it. He goes to duke in 2012 and up to that point the only one and done player they had was kyrie erving. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it's probably a duck. Coach k is untouchable we're going to have to learn to live with it, at least until he retires.
