0:00Hello, this may be Ep #78 but Sam and Jason explain “the missing podcast” that happened but got trashed before being posted.

2:05Donald joins us and explains where he has been… Downunder

2:35Sam launches the discussion about Duke’s roster, those leaving and coming… this could get a bit haphazard.

4:10We start with Frank Jackson’s decision to enter the draft… Jason seems to have a bunch of intel on this including some speculation about who might take Frank in the draft.

8:30On to recruiting, our 6-man recruiting class is mostly comprised of kids from Atlanta, GA

12:00The Trevon Duval conversion begins and Donald compares him to John Wall and (pre-injury) Derek Rose. Wow!

16:15The conversation turns to the big men. Will Duke play 2 traditional bigs at one time?

21:10Time for a debate about minutes/rotation. This was inevitable. Sam thinks the bigs won’t play as much as others have predicted.

27:05Prediction time… who will be our second leading scorer next season? Sam gets a history lesson.

30:55Sam wants us to talk about the one-and-done trend at Duke. We understand it, we accept it, but we are not fans of it. You can hear the strain and the angst in this discussion.

41:00Jason says what we need to look at is not the one-and-done players, it is the players who could be here long term but who leave via transfer.

46:30Sam time travels 10 years in the future and says we will barely remember Jabari Parker, Brandon Ingram, and other one-and-done guys… and that is a shame.

51:00Jason dissects why players rush to the NBA and has a suggestion for how to fix the flawed NBA Draft system

58:20Parting shot – Jason on the Duke teams still competing for a national championship

1:00:50Parting shot – Donald gives a travel update and shout out to the American Outlaws

1:01:45Parting shot – Sam on the woes of being a DC sports fan… which Jason says does not compare to getting crushed in the Super Bowl

1:06:50Bye bye… and Duke band
