Greg Paulus, Marty Pocius, Dave McClure, Jordan Davidson, Griffin Tormey and Joey McMahon joined the rest of Duke’s class of 2009 at the university’s 157th commencement yesterday. These four Duke players and two managers along with about 4,400 fellow Blue Devils officially earned their degrees in front of a packed crowd at Wallace Wade Stadium. “Of all of the wonderful things that have happened to me, including receiving an honorary degree from Duke, you really haven’t completed that circle of success unless you have helped someone else to move forward,” commencement speaker Oprah Winfrey told the huge crowd of graduates, families, parents, and friends. “How can I help somebody else move to higher ground? That is success. That’s it. That’s why we’re all alive.”
