Last night during the Duke vs. Boston College game on ESPN, legendary broadcaster Dick Vitale was discussing Coach K’s grandson, Michael Savarino. He was talking about how he’s an accomplished basketball player and that he would be a preferred walk-on for the 2019-20 season.

I reached out to Duke Athletics who confirmed that Vitale was correct and that Savarino will be a preferred walk-on next year.
Savarino is a 6’0″ PG who is averaging 7.
