Someone mentioned his girlfriend goes to school at UNI? Makes sense to stay in state?
AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

If we can’t get a coach’s son to commit to ISU, is our men’s basketball program just going to decline to the point of not being competitive?
What? If AJ chooses to go elsewhere it’s not going to be because our program is “declining”, he’d go because it’d be a to a blue blood like Duke. Our program is back on the rise. How quickly we rise will be determined by a multitude of factors.
Also, AJ is likely not going elsewhere. These conversations will continue to happen though until he makes his decision on coming back to school.
Things like social media matter, AJ's name getting run by the Duke social media accounts yesterday got his name seen by more people in one day than his entire UNI career. Look at something like Instagram, Duke bball has 1.3 million follows, UNI has 17k...hell ISU only has 50k.
Tons more exposure to some random basketball fan, absolutely. Tons more exposure to an NBA scout, not really.
Depends how much he would play. Nothing is better for the brand than being a star at Duke. A lot of Duke starters have been overdrafted too.
But if he’s wanting to be the guy, it’s an easy choice. IB likely is playing a 5th year had he gone to Duke.
I just asked a question and Statefan gave a reasonable answer. I’m an ISU grad that worked in the athletic department before JO was our coach.
If he decides to go elsewhere it’s because someone wrote a fat check.
I really don’t know if that particularly matters to AJ.
Oh...it's dropped to "likely not" going elsewhere now. Just ready for it to be over and decided quite frankly.
After seeing the Pack deal, my AJ to ISU confidence meter is spiking in the wrong direction. Yikes!
Link discussing Duke and AJ. Plus next year Duke guard discussion.

The Duke basketball staff is reportedly eyeing another "AJ" with a dagger from deep, this time doing so via the transfer portal.balldurham.com
Fudge Duke, UNC, Kansas, Kentucky...Uhm...Hhm...
Am I missin' anybody?
Look at all the girls that ride the bench at UConn, most of their team could start at any other school.
Like I said earlier, for $400k Pack like money, he can give up some minutes. Fat lady warmin up.
I don’t think that is what is going to lead us down the road of not being competitive.
We didn't get AJ to commit a year ago when Kyle was hired, and I think the season turned out ok.
