Kyle and Nolan host episode two of DUKE HOOP

Wonder why Kyle transforms into an Incredible Hulk-like competitor on the court or how the Blue Devil dramatically improved his physique?  Then check out episode two of DUKE HOOP (the Duke Basketball Players Show)…

Nolan and LT host the first episode of the new Duke players show

Blue Devils over the years have been first in a number of stats, rankings, and polls.  Today marked another less important but equally fun first as the players became the lone team in the country to have its own web-based show.  Duke Episode 1.1 made its debut tonight on DukeBluePlanet.com, our YouTube channel and our iTunes podcast, and a new episode will be released every other Friday through the end of the season.  Each show will be hosted by a current player (LT and Nolan led off in episode 1.1) and include features, format and style that appeals to the current team.

Each episode will include the following segments:

*2-3 player hosts introducing the various segments

*Plays of the week (highlights from the week)

*In the locker room (player locker room topics)

*Welcome to Cameron (short, entertaining segments promoting various Duke Basketball traditions)

*Feature Presentation (a new longer feature each week on a player or team event)

Please check out the first episode below…

A fun and memorable Thanksgiving week in NYC culminated in a NIT championship (and entertaining footage from Nolan Smith and Lance Thomas).

Happy Thanksgiving from the 2009-10 Blue Devils…

On a Saturday before the season started, Nolan Smith took a camera around for part of his day.  From waking up and heading to the gym, to a grocery store run, to a trip out to the airport to drop off a friend, to a surprise visit to Brodie Gym to play “DUKE” with a freshman, Nolan adds some personality to typical weekend activities in the latest players video blog entry.
