From at :  “Tyus Jones repeatedly insisted, when I talked to him last month, that he and aren't leaning any particular way in regard to making a college decision. And that might've been true at the time. But Okafor's AAU coach, on Friday, publicly established as the leader for the supposed package deal.

“I believe there is a great chance that Tyus will go to Duke,” said Mac Irvin Fire coach Mike Irvin, according to the @BlueDevils Twitter account. “If so, Jahlil and Tyus will probably be going to school together.”

So congratulations, .

You are, at least according to someone close to Okafor, on the verge of securing what could reasonably be labeled as the best package deal in college basketball history.”
