It’s amazing the kind of talent turnover we see with a program like Duke. Most programs, never mind how happy they would be to have the kind of players Duke gets to begin with, would be devastated to lose two top tier seniors and the best freshman in the nation to the NBA Draft, but Duke is going to have the claim of having brought in the #1 Prospect of all high school students, Austin Rivers. He’s coming out of Winter Park and is well known for being the son of NBA legend and current Celtics coach Doc Rivers, and he should be far better than his father, much as Stephen Curry is to his father, Dell.
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have had a somewhat surprising solid season in 2011. If not for a week 1 meltdown in the fourth quarter at Syracuse, Wake would be 5-1 with their only loss to Virginia Tech last week by three touchdowns. Similarly, the Duke Blue Devils are off to a surprising start, going 3-3 after 6 games, which for Duke is actually pretty good. Both teams have a legitimate shot at making a bowl game, which makes game that much more important for both teams.
