CO isn't Duke. CO isn't NCSU. CO isn't Wake Forest.
Why we would have any interest in a 2* player at our deepest position?
Why would Duke EVER be interested in 2* after signing a Top 30ish player who is the same size?
Holding "interest" from somewhere can mean a lot of different things. Sometimes a player will get a letter (schools send letters to hundreds of different players) from a school, and it will get reported to the media/scouts as "interest." In some cases it may be legitimate interest but in others it is often just a school's way of saying we know who you are and you may be someone we recruit down the road.
Ty Outlaw most likely never held serious interest from Duke. I know Wake was intrigued for a little while, but backed off fairly quickly. It's not like we were going head to head with UNCG for Outlaw. That isn't to take anything away from Outlaw, though. I've seen him multiple times and he is a very good player and a HUGE get for Wes Miller. He is underrated in my opinion and probably could have played in a power 6 conference if given the chance. He'll do big things for UNCG
