DBR Bites #106 - The Roster is Set (we think)
With the addition of Sebastian Wilkins, it would appear Duke's 2025-26 roster is firmly in place. Guys are expected to start arriving on campus for summer workouts in the next few weeks.
In this episode of the Duke Basketball Roundup we break down the addition of Sebastian Wilkins and get into what role he will play this upcoming season (and beyond).
After the break, we briefly lament the fact that Cedric Coward is staying in the NBA draft, though we wish this honorary Dukie well in his pro career. After that, Jason and Scott dive into one of the big offseason questions -- who will be the offensive creators for this Duke team? The podcast gang have a lot of answers!

DBR Bites #105 - Dame Sarr Commits!
Dame Sarr has committed to Duke, so Jason and Donald jump on quickly with Scott Rich to discuss it on a quick DBR Bites!
Sarr’s commitment is a big one and we take a few minutes to herald Jon Scheyer and the staff for landing Another One. Sarr’s defense is exciting as well as his upside. We also quickly discuss what it means for the rotation and who could be the #2 option on offense after Cam Boozer.
After the break, we discuss Duke scheduling Texas Tech for a game at Madison Square Garden on December 20th. The game will be 7 years to the day since the two teams faced each other in a non-conference game also at the Garden. It’s a loaded schedule for the Blue Devils, and they will be ducking no one next season.

#729 - 'Crootin takes center stage
We’re talking recruiting news on Episode 729!
Duke is waiting to hear word this week from several guys who they have been targeting recently to round out next season’s roster. Jason and Donald get the party started by discussing Dame Sarr, a young Italian who is visiting Duke right now and could make a decision soon. He has a ton of upside and a lot of people will be happy should he decide to go to Duke.
After the break, there are two other players who will be making their decisions soon on where they will play college ball: Braydon Hawthorn and Sebastian Wilkins. Both have some different qualities, and we discuss the chances that each end up at Duke and how they would fit into next season’s roster.

And the winner of the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes is... the Dallas Mavericks. The Duke Basketball Roundup breaks down what it means for Flagg to be heading the Kyrie and Lively's team. Jason and Donald both think it is a pretty good fit for the guy who seems poised to be a budding superstar in the league.
After the break, the podcast guys dive into what they are hearing about Cedric Coward, the Duke transfer portal prospect who is testing the NBA Draft waters. The good news is that Cedric a stud with testing measurements and scores that at the NBA combine that are wowing everyone. The bad news is, that makes it much more likely that he stays in the draft and never makes it to Durham. That could mean that Jon Scheyer needs to explore backup plans to fill out Duke's 25-26 roster.
