George Regan, chairman of the board, said he could not discuss the candidates in any detail. According to Regan, the trustees will hold in-person interviews with all remaining candidates by the end of January. The trustees will then forward names to Scott Ralls, president of the North Carolina Community College System, for his pre- sentation to the state board. Chrestman “The law is that we can submit up to five names to the state board,” Regan told The Robesonian recently. “The decision on who is selected for president is Contributed made by the college trustees.

College Basketball Top prospect Parker chooses Blue Devils Chicago forward coming to Duke Andrew Seligman Associated Press

CHICAGO — Jabari Parker still had just about everyone guessing. Then, he pulled out that blue T-shirt with a white “D,” and, finally, it became clear. The prized prospect from Chicago’s Simeon Career Academy, one of the most highly touted recruits in years, is headed to Duke to play for Mike Krzyzewski. Parker made the announcement in front of a national TV audience Thursday, in his high school gym, surely delighting Blue Devils fans. A 6-foot-8 forward with the ability to nail jumpers from just about any spot when he’s not throwing down vicious dunks, Parker can’t sign his letter of intent until April 17. But he made his intentions clear with one highly anticipated oral com- mitment. Michigan State, Florida, Stanford and Brigham Young also made his top five and caps from each school lined a table next to the podium. But he said it really came down to three schools, with the Gators and Jabari Parker Associated Press Spartans right there with the Blue Duke’s Tyler Thornton and Elon’s Tanner Samson struggle for a loose ball during the the Blue Devils’ win Thursday night in Durham.

In the end, he chose to play for Krzyzewski for at least a year before making what many believe will ultimately be a jump to the NBA. “Duke is always going to be a team in the tourna- ment,” he said. “You can’t go wrong at the program and most importantly, the long-term investment.
