I wouldn't assume that everyone in the dorm who police might have approached immediately cut off conversation with the detectives before the detectives had a chance to ask any questions.

Perhaps the lacrosse players listened to the questions, and then asserted their right not to answer without counsel.

Perhaps some of the players did engage in a conversation with the police.

Perhaps other students, not lacrosse players with lawyers, were asked by the police what they had heard about who was and who was not at the party.

Here's a post from a NJ Star Ledger message board:

From a Duke alum who lives in NC.Story is it was the girls 3rd gig of the night.Not bad at $400 per show.2nd stop was at a black frat house where these girls hung out longer then they should have.It got pretty rough for the black girl & she was pis$ed,neither got any $.They got to the La X house very late & though pretty wasted,did there act.Heard it wasn`t one of their better shows.Well, my friend said take it from there.

I have no idea how credible this is..

We know that some of the players did indeed talk to police, even offered to take lie detector tests and were turned down...

those that lived in the house even provided a list of names of those they could remember attending the party... strange that RS was left off the list... but the idea that they weren't talking to police isn't supported by some evidence...
