Duke Basketball Roundup

The Duke Basketball Roundup sheds its hoops focus for a moment because Duke Football is upon us. Jason and Donald get ready for the first game of the season by talking a bit about Duke's new roster and also providing a preview of what to expect from the Tulane Green Wave as they visit Wally Wade.

After the break, the guys dive into the week's big basketball news, that Duke is adding a corporate logo to the Cameron floor. The DBR Pod has no problem with the Edward Jones partnership and looks ahead to how this kind of thing could evolve into other deals in the future.

The guys wrap up the episode with some comments on a top tier class of 2028 hoops recruit who has scheduled a visit to Durham. How likely is Duke to land Colton Hiller?

While the Duke Basketball Roundup has made exactly zero wagers on the coming season, the podcast crew are still fascinated by what "Vegas" thinks of Duke's prospects for the coming year. Jason recently found himself in Atlantic City and checked out some of the odds on Duke and its players to accomplish various feats this year. If you have a notion of how many points John Blackwell will average or how many games Duke and Florida might combine to win this year, this is an episode of the podcast you won't want to miss.

With not a ton of news to discuss, it’s time to get familiar with our Duke men’s basketball team! We do that on Episode 841.

Duke has released a series of posts on Instagram called “Get Familiar” that introduce us to almost all of the players on the team, whether they are returning or new faces. Donald and Jason detail the facts about each player that they enjoyed learning about the most. We have one guy who can bake a delicious banana bread and another who said he would be a F1 driver if he didn’t play basketball! It’s a fun look into the personalities that comprise the team this season.

We also discuss Caleb Foster’s past couple of weeks, where he’s worked out with Jayson Tatum and is fostering a puppy named Titan that is training to be a service dog! We want Titan content all season long, but we also discuss the importance of CFos’ relationship with the CBO. We also discuss CBS Sports’ poll to coaches and how many picked Duke as the best team in the country entering the preseason.

Duke Football is close to opening up their season as the defending ACC champions. What’s in store for them? On Episode 840, we speak with Anna Snyder of the Fayetteville Observer on where the football team is at as they finish out the preseason.

The biggest question facing the Blue Devils this season: who will start at QB? All signs point to either transfer Walker Eget or sophomore Dan Mahan. Whoever is under center, they will have Nate Sheppard to hand the ball to and Jeremiah Hasley to throw the ball downfield to as they try to put points on the board. Anna takes us through the offense and defense and speaks to what qualities will be the calling card for Duke this season as they seek to defend their title against all doubters.

We also dip a bit into the basketball, asking Anna about the summer and which players have been the ones to stand out in practice. We also see which non-conference games have her the most excited about the season as Duke hopes to add to their banner collection atop Cameron Indoor Stadium.

We end the show with an update on Mike Corey’s recovery from a tragic car accident that claimed the life of his son, Teddy. Mike physically is doing much better and appreciates all the well-wishes. Emotionally, that toll will take a bit longer for him and his family to process. A memorial fund has been established in Teddy’s honor, and we encourage everyone to share it widely and pay tribute to Teddy’s life that was taken far too soon.
