Austin Nichols is off the board.
The race for Jabari Parker—the No. 2 overall player in the class of 2013, according to ESPN.com—is coming down to the wire, with Duke seemingly surging late.
Fourth Quarter (Clemson 56, Duke 20): With the game well out of hand, Clemson’s second stringers took the field for the final quarter and opened with a touchdown. The Tigers continued to play conservatively on offense by running the ball. Sophomore Anthony Boone took over the quarterback the duties for the Blue Devils, but he was unsuccessful in mustering any sort of sustained drive for the Blue Devils.
It is now wait-and-see mode for the Duke basketball coaching staff.
The recruiting schedule this week will not lighten up.
Fourth quarter (Duke 33, North Carolina 30): Opting to go for it on a fourth-and-one, Duke was unable to keep its drive alive. Taking over the ball at midfield, North Carolina’s first possession of the quarter came down to a pivotal fourth-down play, where Tar Heel quarterback Bryn Renner found an open Eric Ebron for a gain of 34-yards to move inside the Blue Devils’ 10-yard line. A few plays later, Bernard leaped into the end zone, cutting Duke’s lead to 23-17 with just over 13 minutes left in the game. The Blue Devils took over possession and predominately ran the ball to attempt to eat some clock. On a crucial third down, Renfree connected with Vernon across the middle, moving the Blue Devils to the 35-yard line in North Carolina territory. The play set up a 43-yard field goal by Martin to make the score 26-16 in Duke’s favor with 9:22 left to play. North Carolina responded with its second-straight touchdown drive, going 75 yards in 10 plays capped off by a touchdown pass from Renner to wideout Sean Tapley to make the score 26-23. Later, on the wildest play of the night, Renner hit an open Erik Highsmith, who fumbled the ball after running into Duke territory. Blue Devil defensive back Ross Cockrell had an opportunity to jump on the ball, but was unable to do so and Bernard picked up the loose ball and ran into the end zone for a touchdown. The play allowed North Carolina to take the lead 30-26 with just over three minutes to go. Renfree quickly led the Blue Devils down the field by finding Vernon across the middle twice for big gains. A few players later on a big fourth down, Renfree found Crowder for a 5-yard touchdown pass with 13 seconds left to give Duke its sixth victory of the year.
Jabari Parker, the No. 1 overall player in the class of 2013, will not sign during the early signing period (Nov.14-21), according to an article on Tuesday by Scott Powers of ESPN.com.
