Zion Williamson not paying attention to corruption concerns

Duke freshman Zion Williamson was mentioned during the college basketball corruption trial, but the star forward showed little worry.

"Honestly, I've paid no attention to it," Williamson said, according to ESPN's David Hale. "I'm just a college kid, out here having fun with my classmates, looking forward to stuff like Countdown and our first game. You only get one chance at the college experience, and I want to enjoy it."

Williamson's stepfather reportedly asked for a job, money, and a house in exchange for Zion's commitment to Kansas. He instead chose the Blue Devils and joined forces with fellow five-star recruits R.J. Barrett, Cam Reddish, and Tre Jones.

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski remains unconcerned with the potential ramifications of the evidence against Williamson, stating the school has complied with the extensive background research needed.

"They have an eligibility center now that these kids and their parents go through - and they go through everything," Krzyzewski said. "We feel very comfortable with him and all our freshmen."

Duke will have at least three five-star recruits for the fifth straight season, including the top-three 2018 prospects in ESPN's Top 100.
