We don’t care if you don’t like Pepsi, but you gotta love Kyrie!

Welcome, Amile! K has added a 6′ 7″ forward to next year’s class that also includes Rasheed Sulaimon. In fact, if Amile hadn’t said yes, next year’s class would have only been Sulaimon.

This is very cool.
Guard Dave Harding is bringing 10 teammates and a strength coach to Ethiopia for nearly two weeks to drill at least one freshwater well in a remote area of the country, while also volunteering at an orphanage and holding a sports camp for kids.

Shabazz Muhammad, Duke’s #1 reruit, is off to UCLA. Some may be bummed, some may be ambivalent, some may be breathing a sigh of relief. However you feel, look at it this way…Muhammad would have been another one and done, making the third in three years. Great memories are not built from short visits but from long, lasting stays. Kyrie and Austin were fun to watch, but neither can ever call themselves “champion”. Duke’s Champions were built around teams filled with leadership and experience, and we will have both filling to the brim next season. GO DUKE!!!
Tonight the top two recruits announce their homes for the next season. The one Duke is looking at, Shabazz Muhammad, is choosing between UK, UCLA and the Blue Devils. Both are announcing during an exclusive airing on ESPN networks tonight at 7:30.
“This feeling is great,” Muhammad told Rivals.com. “I was just trying to get a college scholarship my freshman year. Now I’m here getting college scholarship offers from all of these great programs and the hard work has paid off for me.”
I had a good feel for where our team here was headed, and I thought the direction of our team and where coach wants to go was more exciting and something I wanted to be a part of and I feel I have a lot left to accomplish here. This team will have a really good chance to be special next year. –Mason Plumlee
Sweet, we get another year of Plural Plumlees. Duke is releasing the official announcement later today. We all know this was a very tough for Mason to make, and would have had our best wishes and thanks if he had gone.
Three years ago today CrazieTalk.Net was registered as a domain and went live as a website and user forum. Since then we’ve had almost 125 thousand posts about Duke, vibing, cooking, tailgating, jobs, families, pets, trips, joy, sorrow and tons of general silliness. All due to a few lasered lemurs. Here’s to another fun year..Happy Birthday us!!!!!

Duke’s women ran into an incredibly talented Stanford team that would have taken a perfect performance to overcome, and it wasn’t to be on Monday night. However, even though the season is over, they only lose two players and return a young group made up of mostly sophomores and freshmen. It is hard not to imagine that they won’t be the preseason pick to win the ACC, and will probably have a pretty high number in the national rankings as well.
Here’s a good article from the Washington Post.
Despite another loss in regional final, future looks bright for Duke women’s hoops
