The Duke Chronicle has a player preview up on walk-on Michael Savarino.
The immediate thing that people think about with Savarino is his family: his mother is Debbie Krzyzewski Savarino which of course means his coach is his grandfather, Coach K. No one else is going to call Coach K Poppy - and Savarino probably won’t do it unless it’s away from the court and his teammates.
Can he build a bigger role than a normal walk-on?
If he’s looking for a nearby example he has only to look to Justin Robinson. He came to Duke as a preferred walk-on and everyone quickly realized that the Admiral’s kid is, well, very admirable.
