Maybe this is stupid but I’m just curious. There are many of us who spend a lot of time to come to this forum to talk about a team with complete strangers. I have been coming to this forum for almost ten years and I’ve just been curious to what made everyone become such a big Duke basketball fan. Did you go to school at Duke? Did a relative go there? Was it 91, 92? JJ? Battier?

Me… my grandmother was actually a unc alumni who just loved college basketball. She loved it so much that she liked Duke as well. She had me (7 years old) write a letter to coach k after 91. Coach k wrote me back and I’ve been a die-hard fan since. She is in the only person I have ever known to be a die hard Duke and unc fan. I think she liked unc slightly better but never had the heart to tell me.

Now that the roster seems set, how do you expect PT to be divvied up? Here's a template you can copy&paste and fill out if you want to. New guys listed more or less in height order. Last year's numbers filled in for returning players.

It’s time for this world famous thread.. if we add more pieces it’ll be practice type guys so I think we know who will be playing.. LETS GO

Proctor-30
Foster-25
Flagg-35
Brown-25
Maluach-25


Sion-20
Evans-15
Kon-10
Gillis-10

Ngongba-5
Harris-blowout mins or redshirt

UCONN has proved you do not need the top recruiting class each year. Back to back titles by double digit wins both years. They play beautiful basketball. I liked how Richard Hamilton discussed UCONNS way of running an offense.

A fan for 40 years, we are no longer the standard. Period.

Didn’t see that one coming. Who’s UK’s next coach?

so two huge things today. austin parker our punter/field goal kicker dismissed for academic reasons and OL coach marcus johnson hired to miss state. ouch!!!!!!!!!

Purdue not purdont tonight please!

What are your thoughts on this?


Power has the ability to lead an ACC program in scoring, though that might be a bit much to ask of him this year, and as we’ve said before, would simply be a projection based on talent, rather than using evidence from his college career to date.

Going to thread together whatever stories come...

It's never too early for a roster construction thread. So, here we are 2 days before the season opener and looking at what next year's Duke team will look like:

Going to operate this in a lot of the same ways as last year, if you'll recall ... Will have stories and coverage of Duke's baseball team in this thread. It'll be spotty at times, given the timing of basketball season and other responsibilities, but I'll do what I can to get Duke's baseball team covered.

Going to start with a feature, as the season is two days away: On the return of Jonathan Santucci.
