Duke prospect Ray McCallum talks of the recruiting process

Andrew Slater — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:17:35 +0000

Ray McCallum, Jr. is a listed 6’1” point guard from Detroit Country Day in Beverly Hills, Michigan. His father is the head coach at Detroit Mercy and was formerly an assistant under Kelvin Sampson at Indiana and Oklahoma. After his father took the head coaching job in Detroit, McCallum moved from Bloomington, Indiana to suburban Detroit. The diminutive and cerebral point led his new team to a 24-2 record and has developed into one of the more coveted point guards in the country. During the recent LeBron James Skills Academy, McCallum sat down with Blue Devil Nation to talk about a variety of topics.

(Blue Devil Nation Premiums summer AAU coverage is unmatched. Andrew Slater reported live from LeBron James Skills Academy this past week and the interviews are now rolling in.

How is your recruiting going right now?

Ray McCallum:

It’s been good so far. I’m having fun with it, you know. Just trying to enjoy it because you only go through it once in your life. I’m just trying to enjoy it.

Blue Devil Nation:

Do you have a time frame for when you’d like to decide by?

Ray McCallum:

No, I’m just trying to enjoy the rest of the summer and again the last time I’m playing AAU ball. Have fun…see where I end up at the end of the summer and which schools are still interested in me.

BDN:

I’d really, what are some things that you’ll find in the school that you ultimately decide upon?

RM:

I want to go somewhere where there’s a good coach, a good team, a good history, a place where I can play, play my game, win, you know, academics. Everything really, you know.

Blue Devil Nation:

How important is immediate playing time for you?

Ray McCallum:

That’s my main goal. I mean I’ve been playing since I was little and I’ve always wanted to do that. I’ve been starting since I was a freshman. I’m going to leave it up to that and try to go somewhere where

BDN takes a look at the how the recruiting class of 2010 is shaping up. First of all we know that Josh Hairston, Andre Dawkins and Tyler Thornton are in the fold, but who are they really after to fill that class out? Duke is happy to have all three of these kids but they are still seeking an

BDN Premium – Ray McCallum Audio Interview

Hear Ray McCallums words for yourself at BDN Premium

The Duke Men’s Basketball team has broadened their search for a point guard. In fact, they have cast a wider net in the future with recruiting in general. We’ll talk more about the new approach later, but for now, we’ll concentrate on Ray McCallum.

With a glaring opening at the point guard spot, Duke has narrowed it down to three kids in the class of 2010. McCallum is one of those three, and he possesses pure point guard skills. He is a very good passer and loves to have the ball in his hands. The young man loves to win and had some nice things to say about Duke in an interview conducted shortly after his Team Detroit’s game in Cameron.

BDN will now bring you the audio from that interview. We lead the way with opening questions but others join in as the session goes on. We want you to hear this interview as it really went down and, around here, we do not use answers to others’ questions with a made up question that was never asked.

Duke Basketball Recruiting Update – Barnes, Wall, Irving, McCallum, Bledsoe and more

Mark Watson — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 03:00:08 +0000

Before we get to the latest recruiting information, let me tell you what’s coming to Blue Devil Nation Premium this week. We’ll have an informative interview with Harrison Barnes and comments from one of his AAU coaches. BDN’s Andrew Slater was on the scene at the Pittsburgh Jam Fest. Slater will have the latest, including interviews with Kyrie Irving, Ray McCallum and more. Both of us will offer scouting reports on prospects we see firsthand this week as well. Then there is some hot information on visits, but you have to be a member to see that.

Here is the latest on the recruiting trail from BDN, a source you can trust.
