Myth Busting

I was minding my own bidness, eating my lunch and catching up on my reading for the day, when I came across this article in the Asheville Citizen-Times about Duke’s season. The storyline was nice, about how Duke was making due with less this season, when I read the following:

Early in the ACC season Duke (13-0, 3-0) is once again undefeated and ranked among the top teams in the country, albeit with a cast that includes more walk-on types than high school All-Americans.

(emphasis mine)
I almost choked on a french fry.
Are you kidding me? Let’s count the McDonald’s All-Americans on Duke’s roster – JJ Redick, Daniel Ewing, Sean Dockery, Shavlik Randolph and DeMarcus Nelson. Sheldon Williams was a shoo-in before he was kicked off his high school team for an alleged sexual assault (he was a top-ten recruit). So, that’s five McD’s All-Americans and one more virtual one.
That’s only one fewer than NC State (1), Virginia (0), Virginia Tech (0), Miami (0), Georgia Tech (0), Wake Forest (2), Clemson (0), Maryland (2) and Florida State (2) combined.
So, while Duke’s team is doing a great job this year, let’s not forget that they should be good with the players they have.
