On this episode of the Duke Basketball Report Podcast, we're diving into the news that Jalen Johnson is out indefinitely for the Blue Devils. We speculate about what it means for Duke as ACC season begins. Who gets more minutes? Whose game might blossom without Johnson on the floor?
We also get into the news that Chase Brice, Duke's starting quarterback during the dreadful 2020 season, has entered the transfer portal, having spent less than a year in Durham. We're disappointed that the Clemson transfer didn't work out for Duke and try to figure out where Duke Football goes from here.
After the break, we talk about the news this week that the ACC has hired Northwestern Athletic Director Jim Phillips as its new commissioner, replacing John Swofford. Phillips brings a long, successful track record to Greensboro, but he is an ACC outsider save for some experience as an assistant AD at Notre Dame in the 2000s. Does this foretell Notre Dame joining the ACC as a full member?
Finally, we quickly run through news about the rafters at Florida State, and Henry Coleman, notable son of Virginia. Stay in touch with the podcast at dbrpodcast at gmail.com and we'll be back after Duke's ACC opener tonight.
