They know what is means to be a part of the Duke program. 14:55 Jason thinks that when K retires, a replacement will be named so quickly, we won’t have time to worry about it. 18:20 Ed says he really wanted Capel to stick around as he thinks the transition will go easier if it is someone who is on the Duke staff at that moment. 23:30 Ed brings up a second topic – he’s worried about the lack of upperclassmen going forward. 25:00 Donald says this is the era we are in… not much we can do about it. 27:00 Jason tries to link the issue of young players with Duke’s young assistant coaches (and Sam almost destroys Jason with facts). 29:30 Sam says he won’t be picking Duke to be a big winner in 2019, because he thinks inexperience will be a real problem for next year’s team. 30:50 Ed wants to know how we come up with topics and prepare for each podcast. 32:50 Ed asks about how we get interviews with famous Duke players and the such, which leads Jason to reveal his wish list of folks he’s trying to get for this off-season. 37:00 We say goodbye to Ed and congratulate him again on wining the DBR Bracket Challenge! 37:35 Thanks again to the best Duke legal eagles around, Byrd Campbell. 38:10 Time to talk about the Duke freshmen turning pro.

If they want maximum exposure and a chance to be part of something truly special, they need to go to Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, and the other blue bloods. 49:55 Jason analyzes where the Duke freshmen were – in the NBA’s eyes – at the start of the season and where they are now. 53:40 Parting shots – Jason talks about “he’s 2 years away from being 2 years away.” 56:50 Parting shots – Donald raves about Quinn Cook earning a NBA contract for the World Champs! 59:45 Parting shots – Sam reveals where he will attend Business School… AT DUKE!!! 1:05:00 Good bye and Duke band
