Thanks for the welcome El D and I will throw out another big hype ATKINS and ARNOLD but your right the Web has kicked it up intensely. I love our freshmen and this class if it stays together has the potential to be one of the all time best! We can only hope! -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

Who could forget the A-trains (no disrespect to Don Vito L-Train)? Their arrival coincided with the hiring of Mike Rice and had the city quite pumped.
