Not much new here, but a few things stood out:
'"Now you bring in four new guys and a transfer, it's kind of like starting over," Krzyzewski said. "And so what we've done is kind of look over our whole program and see where we are at this time, every part of our program, to see where we can improve. ... We see improvements coming, and there's still a lot of work to do."
Obi, who is 6-foot-9 and 265 pounds and averaged 9.3 rebounds as a freshman with the Owls, will give Duke the wide body and interior post presence it might have lacked in recent years. But that won't come until 2015-16 because he must sit out this season due to the NCAA's transfer rules.
"Our feeling is that, I'm not saying he'll be this amazing player — I think he'll be a good one — but I think he'll be a steady player for us for the entire time that he's at Duke," Krzyzewski said.'
And:
'Krzyzewski said Scheyer — a guard and key leader of the Blue Devils' most recent national title-winning team in 2010 — brings "a new energy, a new way of working with the perimeter guys.
"I think a program needs that every once in a while," Krzyzewski said.'
It's also not even close to true. (Or is that what you were getting at?) Maggette's team was 5-1 in the tournament. Deng's was 4-1. And for some reason, it won't let me log in to leave a comment about that under the article. Their Facebook login link is busted.ZackM said:"The other thing to keep in mind here, as I wrote in this earlier column, is that Coach K is 2-3 in the NCAA Tournament with one-and-done players, including last year’s first-round exit to Mercer with Parker leading the way."
uhhhhh...
Anyway, that sounded like another Calipari inspired piece.

Someone with a Tweety account should call him out on that.
