Episode notes

We are back with a full episode where we discuss the Duke Blue Devils in the transfer portal era on Episode 623.

TJ Power announced yesterday that he has entered the transfer portal, so we begin with that discussion (note: this show was recorded a couple hours before Sean Stewart announced he is also entering the portal, so that discussion will come on a later episode). Power’s departure leads to a grander discussion that Donald and Jason have: why is Duke losing so many players to the portal this season? It’s a new world we live in, where guys can transfer every single year if they want to in pursuit of their playing time goals, so we have a lengthy chat about what it means for Duke and what Duke fans should understand when thinking about how the transfer portal affects college basketball.

After the break, there are reports that Duke is trying to add Maine and Kansas to the non-conference schedule for next season, and we’re pretty excited about some of the other potential matchups that we could see early in the season. We end the show with a HUGE surprise that Donald shares with Jason that should have everyone excited!
