Julius Randle Was Advised Not To Pick Duke, UNC Or Kentucky By Rival Coaches

Sep 28, 2012 12:54 PM

Some college coaches hoped to lure Julius Randle to their school by speaking negatively about other programs.

Randle is the top player in the class of 2013, along with Jabari Parker.

Some coaches said that Duke and North Carolina didn't properly develop players, while others said Kentucky had too many highly talented players.

"It's crazy," Randle said. "But I have a mind of my own. Every school has pros and cons and the same school that's dissing a certain school isn't talking about their cons. I look at it as the coaches just hating."
