Duke Recruiting: 5-Star Recruit Schedules Visit
Colton Hiller, a highly promising recruit from Coatesville, Pennsylvania, has set visits to Florida and Duke. He’ll be at Florida this weekend, and will be at Duke a month later, on October 5. Hiller came to see Duke play Michigan in D.C. this past winter, which was probably a great visit, all things considered. Hiller […]
A Great Hypothetical Matchup: Duke 2001 vs UConn 2024
Over at CBS Sports, they do a feature every summer called Candid Coaches. The idea is they ask questions anonymously and the coaches, secure in their anonymity, speak freely. The most recent question is: what was the best team so far of the 21st century? The top two vote-getters? 2023-24 UConn, with 17%, and 2000-01 […]
YouTube Gold: Appalachian State Shocks The World
The Big Ten has been a football powerhouse for more than a century, and the main driving forces of that dominance have almost always been Ohio State and Michigan. Michigan Stadium, generally known as the Big House, seats 107,601, but they can squeeze in 115,000 on a big day when the fire Marshall’s not looking. […]
Being In A Power Conference Doesn’t Solve All Your Problems
On Monday, UCLA fired AD Martin Jarmond, apparently because the program is a financial disaster. The athletic department has lost a ton of money. In 2025, UCLA had a $21.5 million deficit; in 2024, it was an eye-watering $51.9 million. Over the last five years, the athletic department has racked up over $200 million in […]

YouTube Gold: Coach K’s Introductory Press Conference
In 1980, Duke was in the market for a new coach. Bill Foster was unhappy, and for some reason, thought that South Carolina was a solid move. It wasn’t: South Carolina had left the ACC on June 31, 1971 and was still an independent, a disastrous decision made by then-AD Paul Dietzel and basketball coach […]

Defending ACC champion Duke opens the 2026 season at home in Wallace Wade Stadium against the Tulane Green Wave this Saturday, September 5, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. Television coverage will be provided by the ACC Network. Duke has won its season opener four straight seasons. The last time Duke lost the first game of the […]
Duke Athletics Gets A New Partner
Duke announced a new partnership Monday with financial services company Edward Jones. The company will help Duke athletes understand their financial situation, which is a big deal. It’s pretty unusual for teenagers or young adults to suddenly become rich, and teaching them how to handle that is smart and responsible. As part of the deal, […]
The Mark Mitchell Saga Takes A Startling Turn
When Kentucky’s Mark Pope kept a roster spot open, anticipating the possibility of a late-roster addition with all the lawsuits and whatnot, he probably didn’t anticipate what Kentucky just went through with former Blue Devil Mark Mitchell. After committing to Kentucky on March 22, Mitchell seemed to be the exact answer to what the Wildcats […]
Twitter Gold: No Passing Fancy
People who never saw great athletes play frequently can’t believe the claims about them. We’ve seen this recently with some who doubt that Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single NBA game, apparently because there’s no video. In 1962, though, not only was the NBA not on TV a lot, TV cameras looked like […]
Cooper Flagg Makes An Interesting Move
Cooper Flagg will take his first step into entrepreneurship with the planned opening of a card shop back home in Maine. Flagg will open his shop at 35 Main Street in Bangor, Maine on September 12. He’s going to partner with his cousin, and the store will buy and sell sports, Pokemon, and One Piece […]

YouTube Gold: Duke-Indiana, 1992 Final Four
In 1992, Duke was the defending national champions. The 1991 Final Four opened with an emotional rematch with UNLV after being blown out by the Runnin’ Rebels in the 1990 championship game. Duke then beat Kansas. The 1992 season was different. Led by Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, and Bobby Hurley, Duke was a brilliant team. […]
Duke Recruiting: A Family Affair?
Some of you will remember Stan Brunson, who was a solid walk-on for Duke in the early 1990s who eventually earned a scholarship. He also played soccer while at Duke. Like most walk-ons, he was greatly appreciated by the fans, and after his playing days were over, he returned to Durham and got his MBA […]
So, Caleb Foster Has Had A Pretty Cool Summer
One of the many things that goes into building the modern juggernaut that is Duke Basketball is that members of the Brotherhood come home to mentor their successors. If you’re a young player looking for a school and you see that, it must be pretty great. That happened this summer for Caleb Foster, as he […]
Twitter Gold: A Freakishly Good Comeback By William & Mary
Duke fans still speak fondly of the Miracle Minute win that the Blue Devils pulled off against Maryland in College Park back in January of 2001. Led by Jason Williams, they erased a 10-point lead with under a minute left in regulation before winning 98-96 in overtime. It was an amazing thing to see. This […]
Cameron Boozer Update!
The NBA season starts in 52 days, and while the Memphis Grizzlies start exhibition play in 37 days, vs. Quin Snyder’s Hawks, regular season play starts in 53 days, on October 21, against the Utah Jazz, featuring former Blue Devil Kyle Filipowski. There’s a lot of keen interest in how former Duke star Cameron Boozer […]
Mark Mitchell & SEC Update
As we suggested Friday in our article about former Duke Blue Devil Mark Mitchell, the SEC’s new rules about pros returning to college, and the transfer protocols in the SEC, the lawyers weren’t done. And that came to pass, first on Thursday, as one court in Texas granted a temporary restraining order in one case, […]
YouTube Gold: A Great Artist Emerged In 1979
The early days of rock and roll, with Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, and Elvis Presley, were over by the late 1950s. Don McClean famously wrote American Pie, about Holly’s tragic 1959 plane crash. Little Richard eventually got religion and gave up rock and roll for a time, Chuck Berry got arrested and spent […]
Jared McCain Comes Home To Cameron
Around Duke, summertime might as well be called Brotherhood Time, as former Blue Devils regularly drop in to visit and advise the current players. Recently, Jabari Parker and Jayson Tatum came home to talk to the 2026-27 Blue Devils, and most recently, Jared McCain came through. McCain’s brother, Jayce, is a Player Development Specialist for […]
Mark Mitchell Update: SEC Says Not So Fast
Most Duke fans probably noticed that former Blue Devil Mark Mitchell won a temporary restraining order and shortly thereafter announced he would transfer from Missouri to Kentucky. As it turns out, there’s a catch. CBS’s Matt Norlander says this: “…as it turns out, his transfer from Missouri to Kentucky violates the SEC’s prohibited intra-conference transfer […]
YouTube Gold: The 1996 ACC Tournament Championship
On Thursday, we looked back at Randolph Childress’s great 1995 ACC Tournament, as Wake Forest walked away with the championship. In 1996, Childress had moved on to the NBA, but Wake Forest still had junior Tim Duncan, who was beginning his rise to historical greatness. The Demon Deacons made it back to the ACC Finals […]
The ACC Joins The Big Ten, SEC & Big 12 In Banning Pro Athletes
After the Big Ten, the SEC, and the Big 12 acted earlier this week, the ACC has joined the movement to ban pro athletes from returning to college. In the ACC’s case, this applies to the NFL, the NBA, and the WNBA. The Big Ten applied its rule strictly to the NFL, while the SEC […]
