DUKE RUMORS & GOSSIP
Conference Realignment Has No Major Effects For Duke
All this talk about conference realignments really wouldn't affect Duke athletics much at all though it could potentially destroy the ACC as a football conference. Even though Duke is one of the more powerful members of the conference, that is due large in part to the fact that the basketball program is so valuable to the conference, a shift due to realignment wouldn't be...

Way Too Early Look At Duke 2012-2013
Well after a fun but brief sabbatical in Las Vegas I am back and apparently something good happened while I was away. The much awaited decision of Amile Jefferson, Duke's last target for the class of 2012, a target I wasn't at all optimistic would end up joining the Blue Devils, proved me wrong and last Tuesday announced that he would in fact play for Duke.
That is of course...

Duke's Alex Murphy to play for Finland's U20 team
It came as a bit of a surprise, at least to me, when I saw that Duke redshirt freshman Alex Murphy will be play for the U-20 Finnish National Team. For one I had no idea Murphy or his family was of Finnish decent, but apparently his mother, Paivi, played on Finland's national team from 1988-94 and also played professionally in Sweden.
Murphy got to learn a lot while redshirting...
