a devil of a delay
Seth Davis is hot on the trail of Greg Paulus, the two-sport star who had orally committed to playing basketball at Duke rather than football at, say, Notre Dame.Just when decision time has officially arrived, it appears Paulus has suddenly decided he is undecided. He has not, in fact, made up his mind -- unless he has.
Paulus, a 6-foot-2 high school senior from Syracuse, N.Y., is widely regarded as one of the top point guards in his class. But he's also seen as perhaps the best quarterback in his class, evoking comparisons to Joe Montana.
During the summer before his junior year, Paulus committed to Duke. Yet Greg has yet to sign a national letter of intent.
The fall signing period for high school seniors ends tomorrow. If Paulus fails to fax Duke his letter, expect to read several more columns sepeculating about his decision. Perhaps including a quote from a very frustrated Mike Krzyzewski who, taking Paulus at his word, has not recruited another point guard in two years.
