Tweet 2012 Grade You have to give this team an A grade on how they have handled the difficulties of this season so far. Words like “fight”, and “playing for each other”, “toughness” have been thrown around about Duke and rightly so. Duke has played a hell of a schedule so far, by design, and  this team has been tested in many ways: Played a host of ranked team and a tough schedule. Duke pulled out close games. Played a tournament like schedule on tired legs. They’ve come off of long layoffs to play difficult teams. They’ve played on the  [ Read More ]

Tweet Jabari Parker, the nations number 2 high school basketball player had decided to verbally commit to Coach Mike Krzyzewski and the Duke University Blue Devils.

The Parker camp kept the information filtering out to the media to a minimum with no one truly knowing which school or schools were in the  [ Read More ]

Jabari Parker arguably the best player in the 2013 class will be deciding his college choice on Thursday, December 20th, at Simeon High School. Parker will be choosing between Duke, Michigan State, Florida, BYU and Stanford.

It’s seem to go back and forth between Duke and Michigan State but Parker  [ Read More ]

He also runs the floor well. Matthew Atewe is a skilled 4, with a big body. Really defensive minded, runs the floor well and can finish at the rim. Still raw and developing on the offensive end.   Alex Kline  [ Read More ]
