The buzz around Duke’s summer practice was supposed to center on chemistry, growth, and leadership from its returning core—but instead, it’s turned into a spotlight on Caleb Foster, and not for the reasons Blue Devil fans were hoping. According to multiple sources present during the opening week of workouts, Foster has looked uncharacteristically hesitant, unfocused, and out of rhythm in competitive drills. While the rest of the team adapts quickly to the summer tempo, one insider didn’t hold back: > “He looked lost. It’s not what you expect from a guy entering his second year in the system.” It’s a…
Something explosive is happening in Durham—and it’s not just the usual summer grind.

As Duke kicked off its highly anticipated summer practices, what was supposed to be a smooth transition into the 2025 season has quickly turned into a gut check for several returning players.

When Cameron Boozer made the unexpected decision to transfer to Duke, the college basketball world was stunned. Many assumed he’d either team up with his twin brother Cayden at Miami or take the pro route. But instead, Boozer chose to forge his own path—and now, just days into practice, it looks like he’s already running the show in Durham. From the first day of summer workouts, Boozer has been the loudest voice in the gym and the most dominant presence on the floor, according to multiple sources close to the program.

In a crushing NCAA Tournament loss to the Duke Blue Devils, Alabama Basketball’s high-octane offense hit a wall. The Crimson Tide were held to just 65 points after putting up 113 against BYU in the Sweet 16 — a stunning drop that exposed a lingering issue Nate Oats is determined to fix. Duke’s elite length and defensive discipline stifled Alabama’s rhythm. Coach Oats didn’t sugarcoat it: “They’ve got length all over the place,” he admitted after the game. And the numbers don’t lie — Alabama shot a disappointing 35.4% from the field and just 25% from beyond the arc. The…
The NBA Draft may have ended, but emotions are still running high in Blue Devil Nation — and no message hit harder than the one from Duke head coach Jon Scheyer to newly drafted guard Tyrese Proctor. Shortly after Proctor heard his name called on draft night, Scheyer took to social media with a message that captured everything the Duke Brotherhood stands for: > “Your legacy is forever, Tyrese. You came here a boy, you’re leaving a man — and I couldn’t be prouder of who you’ve become. You’ve given everything to Duke, and you’ll ALWAYS be a part of…
In a powerful moment on the Run Your Race podcast, former Kentucky Wildcat and NBA All-Star DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins opened up about a painful truth he’s held onto for years — how he felt betrayed by Coach John Calipari almost immediately after arriving in Lexington. Cousins revealed that during his recruitment, Calipari painted a dream scenario: he’d play in a fast-paced, modern system, have the freedom to handle the ball, and showcase his full skill set in a unique, non-traditional role. For Boogie, it sounded like the perfect fit — a big man with guard skills finally being unleashed. But…
Sion James’ story isn’t just one of talent — it’s one of heart, hustle, and a message that now echoes louder than ever. After going undrafted out of Tulane and battling through every possible obstacle, Sion James finally heard his name called. And while NBA fans are just now waking up to his grit and upside, one college program in particular might be hearing his message loud and clear: the Duke Blue Devils. James, once a promising high school recruit, never got the attention or respect from powerhouse programs like Duke. But he didn’t let that stop him. He chose…
Moments after hearing his name called in the NBA Draft, Tyrese Proctor took a moment not to celebrate, but to give a heartfelt shoutout to the program and coach who changed his life — the Duke Blue Devils and head coach Jon Scheyer. > “I’m nothing without Coach Scheyer. He believed in me when I was still finding myself. He pushed me, challenged me, and made me the player — and man — I am today.” The message came during a post-draft interview, and it immediately made waves among Duke fans and college basketball media alike. Social media lit up…
