JJ Jackson chats with Kevin Connelly of Ball Durham as they answer questions from the listeners in this Mailbag Monday edition of the show.

1. Does the state of college basketball where teams are flipping rosters more frequently maybe give Duke more of an edge since we are more accustomed to doing this with so many freshmen?

2. What do you think of the ACC dropping 2 conference games? Is there a team beyond North Carolina that you’d like to see Duke play twice a year?

3. How have you seen Jon Scheyer improve as a coach since getting the head job?

4. Duke has had very little transfer portal movement despite that being very common in college basketball…are you surprised and how can Duke use that as a positive?

5. Who is having a good offseason in the ACC and will anyone new be able to challenge Duke at the top of the league?

6. Duke has seemingly played anyone and everyone in non conference play over the years…is there a team or venue that Duke Basketball hasn’t played that you’d like to see them play at?
