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.
