The Citizen Times has an article about Plumlee being released from his LOI at Stanford. There are a couple of quotes worth noting:
Indiana, Miami, Northwestern, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Virginia and Xavier were among the programs that initially offered Plumlee a scholarship before he committed to Stanford in June. But the Gamecocks and Hoosiers have changed coaches since then.
“There are about eight or nine schools that have contacted me, and they’re big-time programs you would know,†said Gaines (Plumlee’s HS coach), who would not get into specifics.
In regards to Duke assistants Johnny Dawkins getting the Stanford job:
Gaines said the Plumlees were aware for several days that Dawkins was likely to be named to that position but that didn’t change the decision to request a release. “Coach Dawkins knows that Miles wants his release,†said Gaines.
Is Duke a potential destination?
Perky Plumlee would not comment on whether Duke might be a possibility since Miles Plumlee’s younger brother, Christ School junior Mason Plumlee, committed to the Blue Devils in February. Duke didn’t originally offer Miles Plumlee a scholarship but has one available due to forward Taylor King’s transfer to Villanova.
This one looks like a long shot but Beilein did recruit Miles’ younger brother Mason hard and the whole family seemed very high on Beilein until Duke offered.
