    2003. That username was dukiej.

    Jon is off to a nice start. Another big pickup for next years class. I understand folks wanting to be cautiously optimistic because I’m the same way, but we also must give credit where credit is due. Jon has been a monster on the recruiting circuit for a long time….this is nothing new.

    Brian McLawhorn out at Duke. Rivals

    This is a huge, huge loss for Duke Rivals….and it’s hard to spin it any other way.

    BOOOOM!!!

    Jeff Capel was running most of the practices prior to him leaving for Pitt. Same with Jon the last three seasons.

    Amile Joins the Staff

    I think the coaching vacancy will be filled by someone with head coaching experience and obviously connected to the Duke family. Think kind of along the lines of what UNC did with Jeff Lebo. IMO, the perfect candidate would be Mike Brey. Unfortunately, his contract at Notre Dame isn't set...

    OT: Why are ALL men's athletic pants skinny/tapered now?

    Well, there might be something to this. The younger guys at our country club are doing it too....and they hit the ball a mile. The biggest obstacle I have right now is that I'm pretty damn sure no one wants to see me in them.

    Has anyone thought about...

    I’ll still be here at 86 posting with 136-year-old Skysdad. I’ll also be golfing 36 every day and shooting my age.

    What's Success for Jon's 1st Season?

    The expectations for Duke or our fans? I kid, partly. Jon is going to continue recruiting the very best players in the country. I think he will have pretty good success doing that, as well. I mean, our fans, for lack of a better term, lost their **** this past season going 13-11. Do we...

    K retiring after this year

    It was inevitable at some point, but doesn't make it any easier to digest. I really thought he was going to be around a few more years beyond next season, although that might be chalked up to blind optimism. Even when you know something is coming at some point it's still like a punch in the...

    A fellow Duke fan and DI poster has passed away.

    Remember him posting throughout the years.

    New Duke AD is...

    Did someone really just suggest Mick Cronin to be Duke’s new coach? I’ve now officially lost all hope.

    Patrick Baldwin to commit tomorrow

    Relationships. I mean, nine times out of 10 these teams know whether or not they have a chance at something. My guess is they had a pretty strong feel Hickman wasn’t in the cards. These staffs and recruiters, believe it or not, are probably a little more privy to stuff than the guys at DI.

    Jordan Goldwire thinks Jon Scheyer should be Duke's next coach

    Fun read. Thanks for sharing. I think most Duke fans will always have a soft spot for Jordan Goldwire. Here's a kid who wasn't highly recruited, given very little chance (by myself included) and churned out a solid career at his dream school....and he's leaving with a diploma. What's not...

    2022 recruiting

    Of course Duke won’t have the same pull. We’re talking about the best college basketball coach ever retiring. If you don’t expect a fall off you’re foolish.
