It’s still too early to be sure, but it’s possible that Duke AD Nina King has made two brilliant hires in Jon Scheyer and Mike Elko.
Scheyer had a great first season and, not incidentally, overcame some tough breaks.
And Elko ripped off a 9-4 season in his first year at Duke and the losses were highly competitive.
So what’s he doing to follow up on that terrific start?
Well how about lights-out recruiting.
Duke has had a few good seasons over the years. Steve Spurrier built a solid program, Fred Goldsmith had one awesome season and David Cutcliffe set a whole new standard for modern Duke football to aspire to.
