The Brotherhood...

I follow Dockery on Instagram. A few weeks back it was his birthday. Anyway, he posted a picture of the card K he got from Coach K with a handwritten note on it. In the post he said something to the effect of, "it's such an honor to be a part of The Brotherhood and even better that every year I still get a birthday note from my old coach."
"Yeah, I live ten minutes from Duke, and I never heard about it until Zion said it!"
They've relied on MJ for so long and were lazy at creating something post MJ, who doesn't connect well with players now.
Blasphemy, all fake news! None of this can be accurate. I have read countless times recently on THR that Duke players only care about themselves and getting to the NBA and never return to campus. Only at Carolina do they care about degrees and the family. Not sure what you all are trying to pull but.....
If I remember correctly, his mother was interviewed at the end of his senior season. She was asked if she was proud that he got to play at Duke and be a part of those teams and possibly play pro. Her response was that she's proudest that he got a degree from Duke. That always stuck with me.

Yep. Sean was the first Prop 48 kid Duke ever took....and K was rode pretty hard about it. Even some professors at Duke took issue with it. IIRC, I think K took the time to send each a personal note with a copy of Sean's certificate upon graduation. He also once made a comment that there's never been a kid who came to Duke to prove more people wrong than Sean. Still really happy for that guy.
Okay, this is embarrassing... who is that between Wojo and Banks?
And in that team USA pic, that's a really unfortunate backdrop if Justise was hoping to show off his hair. For that matter, Jabari's and Nolan's heads look incomplete, too.
Ha, I wondered the same thing when I first looked at the photo. Curiosity got the best of me, so I surfed around a little, to try and figure it out. I'm pretty sure he's a select camper that attended the K Academy.
Brotherhood! You all stole that from Kentucky! Cal used the term brother once! That’s our word. Just like you all stole our recruits! Like thieves in the night! Cal’s so depressed about it that he’s drinking like Gillespie these days! It’s pitiful. Just because you guys got your fancy graduates with all their fancy words! Well, we got Col. Sanders! And that’s some good stuff! Yum!
