A "national level"? You've got high expectations. Even Aaron Jackson didn't do that. In fact, no Duke has done that (while at Duquesne) since Willie Somerset. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: El Duque 's message, "My predicition for the non-conference is 12-2. My prediction for the conference is 11-5. That's 23-8 heading into the A-10 Tournament. I'm banking on continued improvement from Saunders and Clark, breakthrough seasons from Evans and Bolding, and the emergence of Peggau, Marhold and one guard (take your pick, but it's likely to be Monteiro if he gets his act together). I think either Williams or Lewinson will step up and Duty will open eyes on a national level." on Sunday, November 01, 06:32:56pm

Don't know what you missed last year, but there were plenty of links here to stories and clips that detailed the love that AJax got throughout the country. Did he become as recognizeable as LeBron James? No, but every major media outlet knew who he was. Duty might end up being the #1 FT shooter in the country this year, and if the Dukes have a great year, his rise from unknown walkon to captain and scholarship player will be great fodder for stories.

- The Dukes will need to make the dance for Duty to get national attention. While that's definitely possible, it does qualify as high expectations for a team that hasn't put together an NCAA worthy season since 1972. (I know we didn't get in that year, but we should have).
