ACC SQUAD - ACC SEASON PREVIEW | What EXPERTS say about Duke

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Miami Hurricanes enter the ACC football season as favorites, but can Darian Mensah and his squad finally get over the hump, or will Louisville, SMU, or Clemson crash the championship party? The ACC Squad debates which two teams will punch their ticket to Charlotte, spotlighting top contenders like Isaac Brown and Kevin Jennings, and examining vital matchups set to shape the playoff race.

Key storylines include bold predictions for the ACC’s Heisman chances, the impact of transfers and injuries—like Jennings’ infamous hand injury—and the ever-present SEC bias. Riveting discussions cover pivotal games such as SMU vs. Louisville, Miami at Clemson, and Duke’s return trip to face Mensah and the Hurricanes. As preseason polls stir controversy and playoff aspirations soar, the hosts break down each team’s path and question if the ACC can sneak two or even three programs into the College Football Playoff.

#840 - Preparing to defend a football title (w/ Anna Snyder)

Duke Basketball Roundup — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 20:42:00 GMT

Duke Football is close to opening up their season as the defending ACC champions. What’s in store for them? On Episode 840, we speak with Anna Snyder of the Fayetteville Observer on where the football team is at as they finish out the preseason.

The biggest question facing the Blue Devils this season: who will start at QB? All signs point to either transfer Walker Eget or sophomore Dan Mahan. Whoever is under center, they will have Nate Sheppard to hand the ball to and Jeremiah Hasley to throw the ball downfield to as they try to put points on the board. Anna takes us through the offense and defense and speaks to what qualities will be the calling card for Duke this season as they seek to defend their title against all doubters.

We also dip a bit into the basketball, asking Anna about the summer and which players have been the ones to stand out in practice. We also see which non-conference games have her the most excited about the season as Duke hopes to add to their banner collection atop Cameron Indoor Stadium.

We end the show with an update on Mike Corey’s recovery from a tragic car accident that claimed the life of his son, Teddy. Mike physically is doing much better and appreciates all the well-wishes. Emotionally, that toll will take a bit longer for him and his family to process. A memorial fund has been established in Teddy’s honor, and we encourage everyone to share it widely and pay tribute to Teddy’s life that was taken far too soon.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS: Are High Expectations for Cameron Williams & Jojo Boumtje Boumtje TOO MUCH?

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 15:30:00 GMT

Duke Blue Devils basketball enter the 2026-27 season with an enviable mix of depth and experience, shifting away from past reliance on headline-making freshmen. Are elite recruits like Jojo Boumtje-Boumtje, Cameron Williams, Bryson Howard, and Deron Rippey Jr. ready to be difference makers, or will Jon Scheyer's veteran-heavy lineup take center stage? The conversation explores how Duke’s revamped roster construction positions the Blue Devils as true contenders, with key additions John Blackwell and Drew Scharnowski providing insurance if freshman stars need time to adjust.

JJ Jackson and Hugh Straine debate whether Duke can claim a national championship without immediate freshman impact, analyze roster risks—including Sebastian Wilkins’ minutes squeeze—and discuss how the transfer portal has reshaped college basketball dynamics. The episode also covers Duke football’s fall camp storylines, the ongoing quarterback battle between Walker Eget and Dan Mahan, and the outlook for the Blue Devils’ defense under Coach Manny Diaz.

#838 - Preseason schedule, meet legal chaos

Duke Basketball Roundup — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 15:42:00 GMT

Duke has its preseason schedule set, and legal chaos has added an entire class of athletes back to the player pool. Jason and Donald dissect it all on Episode 838.

First off, Duke has announced their preseason schedule: a home scrimmage against Belmont on October 8th, a home preseason game against Tennessee on October 20th, and then traveling to Allen Fieldhouse to face Kansas in a preseason game on October 25th. We go through what those games can bring for the Blue Devils as they prepare for the season.

We also get into the ACC preseason rankings for football. Duke, the defending ACC champions, are once again disrespected as they are picked to finish 10th. Jeremiah Hasley does get some love in the All-ACC Preseason Team.

After the break, we dive into the legal chaos that ensued on Friday as 2 court rulings essentially made it where every student-athlete in the incoming Class of 2022 are eligible for a 5th year of competition. We discuss how that and pending Congressional legislation could open the door for some players to come back to college sports, with the caveat that the courts could reverse their decision at any time.
