Duke Prepares for China: K's Contact with Recruit Poythress Under Scrutiny

As reported here by Andy Katz, the Duke NCAA compliance office is in talks with the NCAA on whether rules were broken when Coach K accepted a call from 2012 recruit Alex Poythress.  It would only be a secondary offense if found to be a rules violation for K and the Blue Devils.  So no need for Duke fans to be sweating too much about this situation, especially since Duke is being active in telling the NCAA's about the situation and looking for a clarification.

The more exciting news is that Duke is preparing for their preseason trip to China and Dubai on August 14th.  This will be a huge opportunity for Duke to bond and get some time to play and get used to each other prior to the season.  Some small things for Duke will be able to be worked out overseas, as well as weaknesses found that will then be able to be worked out prior to the first game of the year. 

Mr. Duke will keep you up to date on all the things happening overseas.  College basketball is just around the corner and Mr. Duke is coming out of his summer vacation slowly to get back to full speed for the season.
