Andre Dawkins Enters Through the Back Door at DUKE

These kids……The NCAA keeps changing the rules so the recruits find new methods of going around those rules.  Don’t blame Andre Dawkins for finding a loophole and figured out how to arrive on Duke’s campus in ‘09 instead of ‘10. 

Dawkins, who is was the #16 ranked player and #3 rated shooting guard by Rivals.com in 2010, did a very smart thing by taking an English course over the Summer.  He did so because he learned it was the only credit he needed for NCAA eligibility, enabling to join the Blue Devils this upcoming season. 

He thought he lost his freshman year when he transfered from public school to Atlantic Shores Christian School when the prep school reclassified Dawkins as a freshman.

I’m sure Coach K is happy since his program lost two guards from last season with Greg Paulus graduating and Eliot Williams transferring .  Dawkins should make an immediate impact with John Scheyer in the backcourt.
