A great class this year all around.
Friday night marked the induction of the latest class into the Duke Hall of Fame. This year’s inductees: Shane Battier (basketball), Dan Brooks (coach), Mary Dinkins (administrator), Grant Hill (basketball), Ed Meadows (football), Virada Nirapathpongporn (golf) and Kelly Walbert Cagle (soccer).
All are richly deserving but we’d like to focus on three if you don’t mind.
It would be hard to find two guys who more embody the ideal of Duke basketball than Grant Hill and Shane Battier.
They were great on both ends of the court, superb leaders - both captains - and ultimate winners.
