The Manny Diaz era got off to a great start at Duke walloped the Elon in this season's opening game. The Duke Basketball Roundup gives you a complete breakdown of what happened in the contest and it all starts with the dominant defense on display from Duke. Donald and Jason both want to talk about how many times Duke stopped the Phoenix with a sack or a tackle for loss. On the offensive side of the ball, Maalik Murphy was airing it out in a way we rarely see from Duke QBs, showing off his arm strength on his way to nearly 300 yards passing. After the break, Jason and Donald spend a bit of time on basketball. Duke Blue Planet has released its first episode of the season with a look at the Brotherhood Games, an Olympic-style competition that was dominated by CFos, K2, and Stanley Borden. There is a sentence we did not expect to write this year. The DBR Pod also dives into a bit of recruiting news as the Boozer twins were on campus this weekend. Will two of the most coveted recruits in the land pick the same school as their father or do they want to char their own path?

Cooper Flagg has scored what is said to be one of the biggest endorsement deals ever for a kid who has not even played a second of college basketball, signing with New Balance, a company with deep ties to his home state of Maine. On the latest edition of the Duke Basketball Roundup, Jason and Donald take a look at Flagg's bag (of money) and what qualities it is that make him such an attractive player. The guys also get into the remarkable story of how Khaman Maluach ended up at Duke and how a coin flip that Duke lost plays into the decision. And, after the break, it is time for us to preview the first game of the football season as Duke takes on Elon. The Manny Diaz era is here and we are super psyched for it!

We’re back with a few topics on DBR Bites #57! Jason and Donald are super excited...Bobby Hurley is returning to Duke! Duke will play a charity exhibition against Arizona State in what will be the first trip to Cameron for Hurley as a coach. They’ve known this was in the works, but now we get to finally celebrate Hurley’s return to campus. Jason and Donald also discuss Duke Women playing a multi-team event in Vegas around the same time the men will be there. It sets up nicely for fans traveling to see both our teams play. On the other hand, the NIL tournament that is being set up in Vegas is in some serious danger due to the NCAA dropping some warnings about what is allowed and not allowed with regards to “pay for play” NIL. After the break, Bryce Davis has flipped his football commitment from Clemson to Duke, becoming one of the most heralded recruits in Duke Football history. We discuss the ramifications of this level of recruit coming to Durham. We end with the reports that UConn could be once again trying to find a new home with the Big XII.

Duke has released the non-conference schedule for the 2024-25 Blue Devils and it is full of compelling and challenging matchups. The latest edition of the Duke Basketball Roundup takes a deep dive into the sked -- not just the marquis games against teams like Kentucky and Kansas, but also what Duke faces in some of the smaller teams like George Mason and Incarnate Word. After the break, Jason and Donald play a little draft game -- pick a team (5 starters plus a sub) from the best players of the past half-decade of Duke hoops (2020-2024). Jason's first pick may surprise you but there is sound logic behind it. However, his pick allows Donald to jump on the guy who is almost certainly the best Duke player of the past 5 years. Back and forth they go... which team do you think is best? Send us emails at DBRPodcast at gmail-dot-com with your thoughts.

No one knows what is happening inside Duke basketball like the coaching staff... and the Duke Basketball Roundup is thrilled to present our conversation with Jon Scheyer's top assistant, Coach Jai Lucas. Jai gives us a candid, insiders view of how the team is shaping up for the 2024-25 season including exclusive details on why Kon Knueppel is wowing everyone and what it is about Cooper Flagg that makes him different from other trop recruits. We also discuss the changing landscape of recruiting and NIL as Jai explains why Duke has not gotten any early recruiting wins thus far and the impact of the transfer portal on high school recruiting. We also hear from Coach Lucas about the roles and responsibilities of the entire coaching staff, which teams he is looking out for in the ACC next season, and we get a good story about just how competitive Jon Scheyer actually is. This is an episode of the podcast that is not to be missed so tell your friends to make sure they all have a listen. Don't forget, you can always reach out to us at DBRPodcast at gmail-dot-com and there has never been a better time to subscribe and leave a review of the best Duke hoops podcast in the land!

We are live with Episode 641 as we welcome Scott Rich to the show to help us navigate some interesting topics! Jason is out on vacation, but thankfully Scott is here to take us through some topics with Duke Blue Devils Basketball. First, Duke’s experience has been a topic of conversation all summer long. But how does it rank among Duke teams from previous years? Pretty well, actually! We discuss some of the data and whether it means that Duke will be successful this season. We also learned that Duke has another confirmed game on the non-conference schedule, as Wofford will be coming to town on November 16th. It adds to what is shaping up to be a pretty awesome schedule with some really tough tests for Duke. Scott and Donald are pretty happy with what Jon Scheyer is trying to do in scheduling some of these teams. After the break, we switch to the gridiron, as the ACC preseason poll was released. Duke was picked to finish 11th in the conference, and we discuss whether it is a reasonable place or if Duke should get more love. Also, Kenny Blakeney is hoping to raise some money for the Howard basketball program, and he’s doing it in an outside-the-box way: offering 1/3 of the program for $100 million. We discuss on whether he will be able to do it and what this creative idea would mean for not just the HBCUs, but also mid-major and low-major programs in college sports. We end by congratulating Lindsey Harding and Mistie Bass-Boyd for making moves to new positions in the NBA. Harding will serve as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers under head coach JJ Redick, while Trajan Langdon has hired Bass-Boyd to the front office of the Detroit Pistons. We love that they’re getting opportunities to make their mark in the Association. Make sure you’re following us!

It's time to talk some Duke recruiting on Episode 640! On this episode, we're joined by On3's Jamie Shaw to dive into how recruiting is going for Duke this offseason and who are some of the players we hope to see in Duke Blue in 2025. Duke has cast a wide net in recruiting this offseason, with 13 players of the Class of 2025 already receiving scholarship offers to come to Durham. Jamie gives us the players that are the primary focus at this point in time, and whether the focus is on a smaller freshman class coupled with the transfer portal or the goal is to bring in as many great freshman as we can. We also discuss how NIL may have rocketed up the importance list when trying to land the next great Duke players out of high school. Jamie gives us some names to remember as well as how Jon Scheyer and the staff are so good at convincing the best players in the country to come to the Gothic Wonderland. It's a great interview with some excellent insight into the process and how things have changed in the era of the portal and NIL. After the break, the date for Countdown to Craziness has been announced, and it's an early one: October 4th! We discuss our excitement at finally having the date where fans will get to see this team in person for the first time. Make sure you’re following us!

A trio of topics on this latest edition of the Duke Basketball Roundup. Up first is the 2024 Summer Olympics. Jason and Donald recount some of their favorite moments so far before diving into the controversy over Jayson Tatum not playing in Team USA's first game. If you are here for outrage, you will hear at least a little bit of it. Up next, the podcast guys dive into the changes coming to NIL and especially to scholarship limits in the NCAA. This whole thing seems like a never-ending topic but the latest changes are quite significant to the future of college sports. And after the break, Jason and Donald give their favorite moments from the latest edition of the Brotherhood Podcast featuring a remarkably revealing interview with Cooper Flagg. What Cooper says about himself and his teammates reveals a lot about the makeup of this team and how it is trying to sculpt itself into a championship club.

The latest edition of the Duke Basketball Roundup features a look at the rankings of Bart Torvik, who plugged a whole bunch of data into his computer and asked it to give him an analytical preseason ranking of every team in college basketball. It spat out two teams at the very top of the heap, the Houston Cougars and the Duke Blue Devils. It even projects how many points per game Cooper Flagg, Khaman Maluach, and Kon Kneuppel will average next season. But, before that look at ones and zeroes, the podcast gang has a long conversation about the wild, wild west that is the current NIL landscape. Friend of the podcast Brendan Marks has helped write an article for The Athletic that takes a deep dive into the truth and lies behind NIL and the transfer portal, with some eye-opening anecdotes. The DBR guys give you their takeaways from a revealing and troubling look at how college basketball has been fundamentally changed over the past couple years... and the changes show no signs of slowing down.

After some time off, we’re back with Episode 638 as we get ready for the Olympics! The Olympics begin this week, and Jason and Donald go through all of the Duke Blue Devils who will be competing and coaching in the Summer Games. Short of ACC newcomers Stanford and Cal, Duke is sending the most athletes in the conference to Paris, which is really cool. We focus in on Khaman Maluach’s performance against the USA in a basketball exhibition where South Sudan almost had the monumental upset. Maluach showed some good things and some things to work on, and Jason and Donald break down all that he did and how it could translate to Duke. After the break, we discuss NBA Summer League and DJ Steward absolutely balling out for the Chicago Bulls. He did so well that he earned a two-way contract for this coming season, which is really cool! He follows a line of Blue Devils who have recently found their way into the NBA via unconventional paths, like through the G League. We’re glad that Steward is getting an opportunity to play for the Bulls this season. Make sure you’re following us!
