Duke basketball: Coach K could land silky shooter sooner than expected

Three weeks ago, Rolling Meadows (Ill.) shooting guard and Duke basketball target Max Christie told SI director of basketball recruiting Jason Jordan that he has "a lot of time left" in the recruiting process and that he would take his time discussing his future with those close to him "in order to make the best decision."
