The K Academy is taking place this week. For those on social media, it's a really fun follow.

I always love seeing the former players who come back for this every year. A few new faces that I haven't seen for a while at Duke....including Greg Paulus, Daniel Ewing, Luol Deng, Cherokee Parks, Chris Duhon and others. Even Jayson Tatum is back in Durham, less than three days after his season ended on Sunday. Three of our incoming freshmen are also there --- Tre, Zion and Cam.

Here's a short clip....and like I said, I encourage those on Instagram and Twitter to follow along. They post a lot of pictures and videos over the course of the week.

Has anyone done this??
This would be a dream! Would take me years of saving money to cover that tuition fee though, at least I got plenty of time before I would even be eligible.

It’s on my bucket list. I’m 41 now....hoping to pull it off within the next four to five years. I know two guys who have done it (one multiple times) and they say it’s worth every penny and and a wonderful experience.

Notice at the end that K lets everyone know that he can recruit a little himself. We'll miss Jeff, but K and Duke will do okay in the recruitment arena.

And yes, I'm too grateful for Greg Paulus coming to Duke. He was a hard nosed player, and gave his best. He'll always be a Dukie.

CWell slimmed down! Love seeing him obviously see Luol (right?) for the first time,

Good to see Greg. Shocked if he isn’t a head coach somewhere soon. Always thought he would be on the Duke bench at some point.

Great stuff. Love seeing all the guys back.

It looks unbelievable. I don't think I could ever do it though because the 10k price tag would be exacerbated by the subsequent divorce attorney fees I would have to pay after my wife found out I dropped 10 grand on a fantasy camp.

My wife is actually sort of on-board with it. She knows it's something I've talked about since my early 30s and is a huge bucket list item for me. I've also said that it's something I want to do before I turn 45, for the simple fact of getting around and still being able to play at least a little bit. And I don't mean play well, by any means....I've seen the drop my body has taken since 35, so I can only imagine the next four years will result in another major dip.

Geez, thanks a lot. It's Friday, and I was feeling good until I read your post. I hope you're not a motivational speaker in your spare time. Just hit 45, so by what you're saying, I better sign up quick, unless they have a wheel chair division.

David McClure, Mike Dunleavy, Jr. and Marty Pocious also around this week.

Rumor has it, Marty still has incredible calves.

Glad he came. He's a Dukie. It's a shame he wasn't appreciated more. He didn't live up to some of our expectations but he took his role like a man. I admire people like that. OFC

It was some of the behind the scenes activities that rubbed some people the wrong way (still do). Add that to his on the court production and yeah....

Did it twice which is way beyond my means but worth every penny! I built it up so high and it surpassed it.

I wish I had done it earlier but still held my own. If you can do it don’t think twice.

One highlight I hit a 3 to win a game and Quinn cook came on the floor and hugged me. He was the coach of the other team. Crazy but there’s a reason Quinn is a leader
