A great report, Show, thanks for posting this! You got to meet with Grant (and a pic!), snagged some great Duke stuff, witness the raising of #5...while having your little girl with you...those are lifetime memories buddy...I'm really happy for you. Oh, and you got to see Skee...he's such a great Duke fan!
To the 'practice'...thanks for all the observations! I'm so glad to hear Marshall may really step it up a notch this season. And Matt...doesn't surprise me at all, he is almost everything you could ask for in a Duke player. Brandon, and Derryck, sorry to hear they didn't play a little better, but they've both got some big adjustments. Brandon is so talented, but the players are so much more physical at this level, and he's going to have to adapt. Derryck, well he got a really late start with finishing school, so that has to play a big part. We're definitely going to need him, and with some more practices, and game time I think he'll come around. Tyus did spoil us, but Derryck has his own path, and hopefully that path will lead us deep into the NCAA's.
It may take awhile, and Duke may take a few lumps early in the season, but there is mucho talent on board, plus some very solid vets back from last season. Oh, and we've got K. This isn't his first rodeo either.
