Blue Devil 360 - May 2026

Wed, 13 May 2026 20:00:00 GMT

With Duke set to participate in its sixth straight NCAA Softball Championship and host the Durham Regional (May 15-17), we visit with one of the most potent bats in the Blue Devils’ explosive offensive attack - shortstop Jessica Oakland. The former Big Ten Player of the Year at Minnesota made a seamless transition back on to the field after sitting out last season as a midyear transfer and is one of the key reasons Duke is one of the top 10 hitting teams in the nation. We also have a conversation with former Duke football offensive lineman Brian Parker, selected in the recent NFL Draft by his hometown Cincinnati Bengals, with his perspective on the Blue Devils’ 2025 ACC championship and the long process of getting ready to launch a pro career.

#822 - Duke sets up Prime non-conference matchups in historic deal

Duke Basketball Roundup — Fri, 01 May 2026 13:00:00 GMT

We're not done with the news! We're back very quickly to discuss more of the Duke Basketball news coming out over the past few days on Episode 822!

If Episode 821 was the recruiting episode, 822 is the news episode and we start with the news that Duke has created a deal with Amazon Prime to have three showcase non-conference games air on the streaming platform in a multiyear deal. The games in 2026-27: UConn, Michigan, and Gonzaga. We discuss the historic deal and how Duke is setting itself up to once again have a terrific non-conference schedule.

We also discuss Cooper Flagg holding off his former roommate Kon Knueppel to win the NBA's Rookie of the Year. It was a banner year for both, so we sing their praises. We end by throwing all the shade and scorn at the NCAA for their reported decision to imminently expand the NCAA Tournaments to 76 teams.

#820 - Rick Palmer Breaks Down John Blackwell's Game

Duke Basketball Roundup — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 20:11:00 GMT

We’re back with Episode 820 where we get to know what we’re getting in new transfer John Blackwell from one of the coaches that knows him the most. We welcome his high school coach, Rick Palmer, to the show!

Rick Palmer has known John since late in his freshman year of high school, and with Jason not available, Donald gets to catch up with his high school teammate about the player that will be one of the focal points for Duke next season. We get into John Blackwell’s game and discuss what kind of player Duke is getting. We get into what his best traits are on the court and what Palmer believes will make him successful in a Duke uniform.

We also discuss John Blackwell the person and how grounded he is. One thing you will hear about is how great of a teammate Blackwell is (relating his leadership to a famous Duke player who played his high school ball a mile down the street), and how he embodies the fist mentality that Coach K instilled in the program. Rick Palmer only leaves us more excited about having him on the team next season!
