#656 - Surprise commitments and weekend previews

Duke Basketball Roundup

We were expecting Episode 656 to be a lighter one, but the commitment of Nik Khamenia to Duke has us excited!!

Yesterday, Jason and Donald were not expecting to see Nik Khamenia pick Duke as his college of choice, but he did! The #19 recruit in the 247 Sports rankings and #35 in the ESPN100, Khamenia is a hooper with a smart game. We discuss what he brings to next year’s Blue Devils and how he could play alongside the Boozer twins.

Next up are previews, and we first discuss Duke Men’s Basketball’s upcoming exhibition against the Arizona State Sun Devils. It’s Bobby Hurley’s return to Cameron as a coach, and he brings a squad that has been reloaded with several transfers and one stud freshman. While Duke figures out its combinations, it will be great to see Hurley (and his son) back in Cameron for a nice exhibition.

Duke Football has its toughest test of the season to date on Saturday night when they take on the SMU Mustangs. SMU has a prolific offense that puts up over 40 points per game and averages almost a first down every time they snap the ball. We take you through how Duke can pull off the upset over the #22 team in the country.

Finally, the NBA season tipped off last night, and once again there are two dozen members of The Brotherhood representing Duke in the Association. We discuss some of the players that changed teams and who we’re keeping an eye on as the season begins.
