    DURHAM, N.C. — Duke is investigating whether an NCAA recruiting rule was violated when coach Mike Krzyzewski reportedly offered a scholarship to a recruit during a summer tournament.

    Krzyzewski

    Forward Alex Poythress told CBSSports.com that Krzyzewski spoke to him earlier this week while he was in Orlando, Fla., for a tournament with his AAU team, the Georgia Stars, and offered him a scholarship.

    NCAA rules prevent coaches from contacting recruits before they are finished playing in tournaments.

    Duke spokesman Jon Jackson said in a statement Saturday that the school is gathering facts and that "proper adherence to NCAA bylaws has always been, and will continue to be, a cornerstone of Duke Athletics."

    Poythress is a 6-foot-7 forward from Clarksville, Tenn. He is considered one of the nation’s top high school seniors.

    Haha I love how the media blew this up…the rumor came from http://kentuckysportsradio.com/?p=88097 and all because Matt Jones said

    "Poythress’ team played their final game at 7pm Tuesday night. If he got the offer after, then I guess it’s no harm. But if it came before, it might be a violation."

    WOW even if it IS true it would be a MINOR violation.

    In other news Coach K got a parking ticket. Duke will now look for a replacement for their immoral POS coach….
