And for DUKE to do that, yes, it seems unreasonably unlikely. At the very least I've never known them to do anything like that before. I do not see Duke leaving an offer out there to someone they have no intention of actually signing. If you're going to site stories, then I'll also site one. I think Duke was irritated when they didn't get him, and was secretly annoyed at how Cal's relation ship with Leon Rose and William Wesley steered him toward Memphis. In addition to not thinking that Duke would leave an offer out there to someone they did not intend to sign, I don't think they'd be annoyed if the player they didn't intend to sign didn't sign with them. But, again, like you I'm freely admitting that as a story...but it's one that I happen to believe even though I don't know it for sure to be true.

So not only is this going totally off topic of Flyer basketball, it is now a place for creative fiction writing.
