One major impetus behind Duke's creation of Countdown to Craziness last season was to awe potential recruits, a strategy that could very well pay dividends tonight.
Point guard Quinn Cook, a five-star prospect according to scout.com, will take his official visit to Duke during Countdown to Craziness tonight. According to Scout.com's Dave Telep, Cook is Duke's number one choice for its finally scholarship in class of 2011, and the website has reported that Cook is nearing a decision.
Duke is widely considered to be the leader for Cook, due not only to the point guard's admiration for head coach Mike Krzyzewski but also thanks to Cook's close relationship with current Blue Devil Nolan Smith, whom Cook considers an older brother.
After leaving Durham, Cook plans to visit Villanova on October 22, and may try to visit Kansas before his high school season begins on October 29.
