As I sat in the press box watching Jamison Crowder reel in game-winning a 5-yard touchdown snag from Sean Renfree, I bit my tongue to maintain the unbiased poker face of a student journalist. Seconds later, as I watched my friends and classmates spill onto the field of Wallace Wade Stadium in celebration, I thought about how Daniel much change I had witnessed in my two short years at Duke University. When I began my Duke career, I sat through steamy Saturday afternoons in those very stands, watching the Blue Devils go 3-9 in a stadium that was more empty than full. That Saturday night in October 2012, that once-vacant stadium was filled to the brim and Duke became bowl eligible for the first time in 18 years. That game was full of twists of fate that seemed to alter the momentum of the contest, fumbles and dropped passes that could change the outlook of Duke’s season at the blink of an eye. But when the clock struck zero, it would be Duke’s football program that was forever changed. The year that lies ahead will present just as many changes, if not more. With three new ACC opponents on the Blue Devils’ schedules, there are bound to be new surprises and memories created around every corner. Not everybody likes change, and I can’t promise you that the changes we’re going to experience as an athletic community this year will be good ones. But I can tell you that it will be one of the most exciting that you’ve ever witnessed. So buckle up, and enjoy sportswrap’s 31st anniversary.

STRIVING TO REPEAT Replacingg keyy starters,, Duke seeks first back-to-back bowl appearances in program history by Zac Elder THE CHRONICLE
Duke enters nters the 2013 season looking to garner a bowl bid for the second yearr in a row. The last time the Blue lue Devils went to a bowl game me in consecutive seasons—never. ever. Head coach ach David Cutcliffe’s squad returns 32 players who have started games ames at the collegiate level, evel, including four talented running nning backs, four offensive linemen, the entire defensive line and a stellar tellar kicker and punter.

three of its most important playmakers, Duke’s offense could be just as good, and maybe more balanced, than it was last year. Anthony Boone takes over the leadership role that Renfree vacated at the quarterback position, but the redshirt junior is not without experience at the helm of the Blue Devil offense. Boone led Duke to a 42-17 victory against Virginia with Renfree sidelined due to a shoulder injury, throwing for 312 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. Junior Jamison Crowder and sophomore Max McCaffrey will provide Boone with excellent targets on the outside, and redshirt juniors Issac Blakeney and Braxton Deaver are sizable and versatile threats at the tight end position, a spot where Duke saw limited production last season. “He’s become a better leader every year that he’s been here,” said offensive coordinator Kurt Roper of his new starting signal-caller. “He’s become a better worker at the quarterback position every year that he’s been here. It’s a maturing process. He understands what it takes to be a starting quarterback in the ACC.” Unlike last year’s offense, which struggled to consistently establish a running game to complement its pass-heavy attack, the 2013 Blue Devils will have a bevy of talented ball carriers running behind an experienced offensive line. Boone poses a threat to run the ball at the quarterback position, and Duke returns its top four running backs. The team’s new running backs coach, former Blue Devil Re’quan Boyette, will rotate his stable of runners throughout game, keeping fresh leg on the field and giving Duke the opportunity to do some damage on the ground. “With the offense, there are fewer concerns [than with the defense],” Cutcliffe said. “We have an experienced quarterback with Anthony, we have all of our running backs back, we have the bulk of our offensive line plus some new depth there. We know we lost Conner and Demsond, but between our receivers and tight ends we have some playmakers. So I feel good about our offense’s ability to score points.” With the bitter taste of a 48-34 Belk Bowl loss to Cincinnati still lingering, the Blue Devils will set out this season to go to back-to-back bowl games for the first time in school history. But entering his sixth year at the helm of Duke football, Cutcliffe does not view the challenges his team will face this season as pressure, but rather as another step to rebuilding the Blue Devil program. “I view it as appropriate expectations. I never wanted to be involved in anything that didn’t have that type of expectations,” Cutcliffe said. “What is most important to me is to join together to do this.... I hope that our community understands how much fun Duke football can be over the next decade.”

BLUE DEVILS REPRESENTING THE USA Liston competes for USA Women’s Basketball by Nick Martin THE CHRONICLE
After spending last summer p playing ay g w with t Duke in France, senior Tricia Liston is headed overseas once again. Instead of donning just Duke blue, Liston will wear red, white and blue when shee es competes for the United States niin the 2013 Women’s World University Games, which will be held in Kazan, Russia. To make the squad, Liston comation’s peted against some of the nation’s top players at a three-day training raining olo. Her camp in Colorado Springs, Colo. pot on performance earned her a spot the squad, which will open playy at the World University Games July 8 against Belarus. “It’s a very special, unique opportupportunity to compete at that level. I mean, that is the Olympic level of competiompetition in representing their country,� ountry,� Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “It’s quite an honor, and it’s on] as a an honor for us to have [Liston] member of our team.� uad, inTwelve players made the squad, cluding Baylor point guard Odyssey Sims and Nebraska forward Jordan Hooper, who was on the losingg end of a low-scoring Sweet 16 contest against he 2013 Liston and the Blue Devils in the NCAA tournament.

Pathman and Payne suit up for U.S. youth soccer by Matt Pun THE CHRONICLE
Without any major international tournaments this year, the U.S. national team system has toned down its training program, but that hasn’t stopped Duke’s top players from making a name for themselves on the national team level. Senior Mollie Pathman and incoming freshman Toni Payne have each continued their participation in the U.S. soccer youth national system this past spring. Pathman played with the U23 team during a camp in Chula Vista, Calif. May 11-18, and after participating in training camp earlier in the spring, Payne joined the U20 squad for two games in Gavel, Sweden to help defeat both the U20 and U23 Swedish national teams May 31 to June 2. “Any time you go into camp, it’s a great time because you can be seen,â€? Pathman said. “The full national team coach was in at one of our camps in April, which is great exposure. And it’s also a great time to train with some of the best players in the country.â€? As a junior, Pathman helped guide the U20 squad to a World Cup title last September alongside fellow Blue Devil Kelly Cobb. Due to their national-team commitments, the duo missed the nonconference portion of Duke’s regular-season schedule. This year, however, Pathman has had a far quieter national team schedule. After receiving less funding during a year without a World Cup, the U23 team will not reconvene for any camps until December. “For me this is the most relaxing and least national-team-filled summer that I’ve had,â€? the Durham native said. “It’s been pretty odd actually. I don’t know what to do with my time‌.
It’s weird not to be going to camps.� Pathman has had a busy career in the youth national team system. She has played in the U.S. youth national team system from the U14 age group and in 2012 alone, traveled to Spain, Panama and Japan for tournaments. Payne, a midfielder and forward from Birmingham, Ala., is off to a similar path of success playing at the youth national team level. She started with the U15 program, and last year, she played U17 team that won the CONCACAF tournament in Guatemala and qualified for the age group’s World Cup as well, providing her with valuable international experience. “I think playing in a World Cup gave me a lot more experience with playing a lot of international games,� Payne said. “It prepared me for [the games in Sweden.]� In Sweden, Payne played in both games, coming on as a substitute each time. In addition to gaining international experience, she also had the opportunity to learn from her peers. Playing alongside the top young talent in the country—including one player who is a rising high school senior and another who plays professionally with the French First Division club Paris Saint-Germain—Payne said the U20 squad served as a valuable mentoring experience. Eight of Payne’s teammate already had collegiate experience, and the incoming freshman noted the impact of playing with 19-year-old professional Lindsey Horan. “It just provides a huge range of different players in the group,� Payne said. “It’s just really good to be able to look up to them, especially the girl that’s playing pro.� SEE W.

Duke women’s basketball head coach Joanne P. McCallie has led the Blue Devils to four consecutive Elite Eight appearances. On April 19, McCallie received a contract extension through the 2018-19 season. The Chronicle’s Matt Pun had the opportunity speak to McCallie about next year’s squad and what it will take to reach her first Final Four at Duke. The Chronicle: Next year, you return five seniors who have really had to step up as leaders for this team the past two seasons. In your 21 years of coaching, how does this senior class compare to the rest? Joanne P. McCallie: They’re just a great group of people. I don’t believe I’ve ever had five in a senior class before. It’s a first-time experience. It’s very exciting, and I love their experience—so many minutes played. They’ve had an opportunity to compete in so many different situations. So, I’m extremely excited, and they’ve all been working hard on various things and they’ve all had their own individual challenges to overcome— but what’s most important is what they can do together. TC: These seniors have won the ACC regular season title and made it to the Elite Eight in each of their three seasons. How has that experience prepared them for this upcoming season? JPM: Every year is different. Every year is a new start—so it’s obviously great to bank minutes and bank great championship experiences. We certainly have loved all of our championship experiences. But in the same sense, you have those experiences, but you want to grow them. You want to get better. It’s a brand new year. We have four fantastic first-years joining our team, and so you start all over again. TC: In a (GoDuke.com) story that ran after the NCAA tournament, you said that no one spoke for three and a half hours after the loss [to No. 1 seed Notre Dame April 2]. What is it going to take to get the program through the Elite Eight, on to the Final Four and into a national championship game? JPM: I think we really need to focus on us and be better at developing ourselves and better at challenging ourselves. It’s very much an internal thing. We’ve had some wonderful leadership, but it needs to be better. You’ve got to be ready to compete at the highest level to win national championships, and a lot of that starts with the players demanding [more] of each other. We’ve had some of that but not that enough of that. TC: You mentioned your four freshmen earlier, and you have one of the top recruiting classes in the nation once again. How have you been so successful bringing the top players in the country to Duke, year in and year out? JPM: Well, Duke is such a great place. I love our staff, and I love our team. Our team is unique and always doing well academically. And they have great personalities so they draw people. [The players] work hard in recruiting. Chelsea’s worked hard for us in recruiting in particular… but everybody gets involved at this point. It’s been great to see the difference in athletes that are drawn to Duke and are drawn to our team. It makes for great chemistry, and I’m just really excited about the young ones coming in. TC: With only Allison Vernerey graduated, how do you see the freshmen fitting into the mix next season? JPM: I think they’re immediate-impact people and I think they’ll have an opportunity to be immediate-impact on the court as well. It’ll be a very competitive situation overall. Our sixth player is going to be a very important position—that first person off the bench. TC: Your coaching staff also gets as a new look as Hernando Planells and Michelle Van Gorp recently earned new positions for next year. How will they fit into the current coaching staff next year? JPM: Hernando has got a great deal of coaching experience on the floor, head coaching experience at the NBA DLeague level and also in Japan internationally. So, he will be coaching on the court with the guards, directing their development and working with the guards specifically…. Michelle is fantastic as well. It’s super to bring her back to Duke. She obviously had quite a history of great success as a student-athlete for Duke, playing for a national championship in 1999 and being a dominant force and playing many, many years professionally. I see her as being a terrific role model and somebody that can communicate to our players relative to the professional game and developing their games beyond Duke as she did.

Going the distance: ACC expansion impacts travel by Ryan Hoerger THE CHRONICLE
Duke basketball fans are already salivating over the new additions to the ACC—former Big East stalwarts Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame are joining the conference this season, and defending national champion Louisville arrives for the 2014-15 campaign. Although the newcomers undoubtedly strengthen the ACC’s position as one of the premier basketball conferences in the country, it also presents some obstacles for all of Duke’s athletic programs in terms of travel. Duke University Vice President and Director of Athletics Kevin White said that the transition to conference expansion would impact teams, but he doesn’t foresee any long-lasting problems. “I think generally speaking, with the exception of Notre Dame over in Northern Indiana and maybe Louisville in Kentucky, most of the other additions fall within the immediate footprint from Boston to Miami,” White said. “So I don’t see a real dramatic financial uptick.” Last year, Duke’s away conference games were played an average of 272.5 miles from Durham. Wake Forest, North Carolina and N.C. State—three of the Blue Devils’ ACC foes—sit less than 100 miles from Duke’s campus. Factor in the additional trips to Syracuse, Pittsburgh, and Notre Dame, and that figure becomes 312.6 miles for this year. When Maryland departs for the Big Ten and Louisville joins the ACC for the 2014-15 academic year, the Blue Devils will travel an average of 324.9 miles each way for each road game in the ACC. Although White does not believe the added distance will have a marked impact on Duke’s travel expenses, some coaches have expressed worries about staying within their budgets. John Danowski, head coach of Duke’s men’s lacrosse team, said the extra milage could force some different scheduling decisions, especially for Olympic sports. “Our budgets are limited,” Danowski said. “I think we’re going to have to either play fewer away games or drop an opponent. We’ll have to do something creative so we can stay under budget.” Danowski’s Blue Devils, fresh off the school’s second national title against now-ACC foe Syracuse, typically schedule difficult nonconference opponents at the beginning of
CHRONICLE GRAPHIC BY ELYSIA SU
Next season, Duke will travel an average of 40.1 miles farther to face an ACC opponent than it did in 2012-13. the season. Traveling to schools like Syracuse, Notre Dame, Denver, Penn and Jacksonville has become commonplace for Danowski’s squad at the beginning of the year. Although Duke will still match up with Denver on the road next season, Danowski indicated that the budgetary constraints due to expanded travel for conference play—coupled with the move of two of his usual nonconference matchups, Syracuse and Notre Dame, to the ACC—might require Duke to schedule different, local opponents to fill out the nonconference slate. High Point, Richmond and Furman, all of which are fledgling Division I programs and might not look as impressive on an NCAA tournament resume, were all among the schools Danowski
mentioned as possible future opponents. Danowski lamented the trip to South Bend to face the Irish as a particularly hassling journey, one that will now become habitual for all of Duke’s athletic programs. “It’s not easy. You have to fly to Chicago and take a two-hour bus ride from Chicago to South Bend,” Danowski said. “The night after, there’s no direct flights back from Chicago to [Raleigh-Durham International Airport], so you have to stay overnight after the game and come back the next morning as early as you can.

W. SOCCER from page 5 Joining the Duke squad this year, Payne will have a few other older players to look to for advice, including Pathman, who ran into Payne at a camp in February. “It was nice to see a friendly face and a Duke face at camp,” Pathman said. “I was excited to talk about Duke and told her how excited I was that she was coming, and she seemed really excited too.” Pathman will be particularly helpful for the younger Blue Devil as she continues to train with the U20 squad in pursuit of a spot on the 2014 U.S U20 World Cup team. “It was an unbelievable experience going to a team [U20] World Cup so I am so happy for her to have the opportunity,” Pathman said. “I think it’s going to help out that Kelly and I have already gone through it. We can help her. We’ve figured out the academics and how to balance it all. So I think it will really help having her and everyone else put Duke soccer on the map and make a name within the national team for Duke.”
LISTON from page 5 for her.” Although Russia will present a change of scenery, there is more change in the game of basketball itself when it comes to playing in Europe, where basketball is more physical and referees are not quite as stingy on foul calls. Liston said she began to see these changes last summer when she traveled to France with her Blue Devil teammates. On that trip, however, Liston was accompanied by her teammates and a familiar coaching staff, and she maintained a sense of comfort. This summer will see her playing with teammates she has only two weeks to train alongside. But Liston understands this is simply part of the process and hopes

Liston is not the only Blue Devil representing her country this summer. Sophomore Alexis Jones will also play for the United States as a part of the U19 World Championship team, which will compete in Lithuania. Looking ahead to her senior season, Liston views this summer as an opportunity to learn how to play alongside new players— a skill that will come in handy when Duke adds several pieces to its roster this season in hopes of solving its championship puzzle. “Playing with new people will help me have a new respect for my [Duke] teammates,” Liston said. “Just being able to adjust to new players because we’re going to have new freshmen coming through looking to make an impact.”
TRAVEL from page 7 and that’s what we’ll do for all of our teams.” Syracuse is another troublesome destination, requiring a multi-leg flight plan for most commercial airlines, the usual means of transportation for most Duke teams. Although traveling to face the ACC’s new members does pose a challenge, Duke’s farthest treks are actually Boston College and Miami, but distance is offset by the schools’ proximities to major airports. White said that teams may choose to forego nonconference games and play against highquality competition in conference instead, citing the top-to-bottom strength of the new ACC additions. “Let’s just say we play a nonconference
women’s soccer game against Santa Clara, because they’re typically really good. Maybe now we just play Notre Dame, and it’s a conference game. Maybe instead of playing a sport against Stanford we’ll play it against Pittsburgh or Syracuse,” White said. The ACC is not the only conference readying for major change. The Big East Conference of three years ago is no more—schools like Rutgers, West Virginia and the four incoming ACC schools have bolted for leagues with better football reputations, and the league’s so-called “Catholic Seven” have parted ways with the league as well and will retain the Big East name. The former Big East, now the American Athletic Conference, has responded by adding members from across the country, including Memphis, Central Florida and Temple, and for a while was exploring the possibility of adding San Diego State, TCU, and Boise State. This year the ACC will be the only one of the six BCS conferences that can fit its members within a single time zone. Although adjustments in travel could pose short-term restraints, White said ACC expansion will be a lucrative long-term venture. In April, the ACC passed a Grant of Rights agreement, solidifying the future of the conference. The resolution commits each university to the league through the 2026-27 season, ensuring that no other conference will tempt a school away, as the Big Ten did with Maryland. The expanded conference also allows for greater national media exposure—the ACC has a basketball deal with ESPN that is estimated to bring in $20 million annually to each school. White said that in response to traveling farther for conference games, teams will be asked to allocate their resources differently— he views the change not as a sacrifice, but merely a fiscal restructuring. “In practice, it will be quite manageable. You just make different decisions,” White said.

Super teams could be the wave of the future When LeBron James made “The Decision” to go to the Miami Heat in 2010, the move was not a popular one. How could this homegrown titan leave to presumably be number two in Danny South Beach? The reality was James wanted to team up with his friends, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, to finally capture his elusive first championship. Three seasons later, James is the king of basketball, guiding the Heat to three straight finals appearances and back-toback championships. Miami’s formula for success has paid off and then some. The strategy is simple: team up with the best and championships will be easier to come by. Sports fans have spoken out against the free agency move, questioning its fairness to the rest of the league—but nearly four years after James’ ill-fated press conference, the concept of a “super team” may not be limited to the NBA. According to reports, Duke recruit Tyus Jones, ranked the No. 3 player in the Class of 2014 by ESPN, says he’ll come in a packaged deal with two five-star recruits—Chicago native Jahlil

Okafor, a center ranked No. 1 in his recruiting class and small forward Justise Winslow, ranked 15th. “You guys already know that me and Jahlil are gonna play together in college, and now we’re feeling pretty good about getting our boy Justise Winslow to come along with us as well,” Jones wrote June 12 in his USA Today blog. Both Okafor and Winslow have downplayed Jones’ comments for now, saying their decision will come in time. That being said, such comments introduce a possible shift in college basketball to more of the player driven style of the NBA. This isn’t the first time players have tried to lobby their fellow recruits to play with them. The Kentucky Wildcats will bring in arguably the greatest recruiting class in college basketball history next season using a similar strategy. Head coach John Calipari signed five of the top nine recruits according to both Rivals.com and ESPN rankings, in addition to a slew of four-star recruits. Calipari has a history of recruiting top players—by means that range from legal and morally questionable—but this class has been drawing comparisons to Michigan’s Fab Five. They’re that good SEE NOLAN ON PAGE 16
Scouting the recruiting class of 2014 by Danny Nolan THE CHRONICLE
Jahlil Okafor: Okafor is the premiere player in the 2014 recruiting class. While Okafor may not have received the same amount of national praise as incoming freshman hman Jabari Parker, to whom he finished second cond to in ng, he’s the Illinois Mr. Basketbal voting, urt. At still getting it done on the court. 6-foot-11 and 270 pounds, Okafor kafor possesses an NBA body that can ow. bang with the big boys down low. He’s also received comparisonss to unthe San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan because of his strong mechanhanics in the post and a solid midrange ange jumper. Okafor is an all-state performer, a FIBA U17 World Champiampionship gold medalist and MVP P and a player that will make an immediate ediate impact in college. The competitors: Arizona, Baylor, aylor, Illinois, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan higan State and Ohio State. Tyus Jones: Pure point guards, ds, acting more as floor generals than an y; scorers, are hard to come by; that’s what Jones brings to thee table. He has an uncanny ability to read what the defense sends hiss way, but his patience is what separates him from the rest of the pack. At 6-foot-1 and 171 pounds, Jones
can slip through defenses with his speed and find the open man. He is a facilitator first and foremost, seeking to make his teammates better. JJones was the 2013 Gatorade Player of the Yea Year in Minnesota and won two ggold medals for the U16 and U U17 FIBA World Championsh ship teams. The competitors: Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky, M Michigan State, Minnesota and Ohio Sta State. Kevon L Looney: Looney’s game can be defined in ttwo words: no fear. The 6-foot-8, 190-pound power forward has a combinaspeed and power that allows him tion of spe to attack th the rim at will. That tenacity may have been the story at the 2013 NBPA Top 100 Cam Camp, where the Milwaukee native shined. L Looney can also hurt you from the out outside with a solid jumper from beyond the arc. Perhaps Looney’s most intrigui intriguing attribute is his length, specifically his 7-foot-1 wingspan. This wide skills makes Looney a matchup array of sk nightmare when he is at his best.

Consisting of 12 teams
since the 2004-05 cycle of conference realignment, the ACC will expand to 15 teams July 1 with the addition of Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Notre Dame. Exiting the ACC will be Maryland, which decided last November to join to the Big Ten in 2014 and is currently fighting to avoid paying the $52 million ACC exit fee. Louisville will replace the Terrapins to keep the ACC at 15 teams—14 full members and Notre Dame in all sports except football. “I love what’s happening with our conference,” said Krzyzewski in May as he accepted his position to remain the head coach of USA Basketball through 2016. “We’re going to be a 10-bid conference. We’re going to be the best conference in the history of the game. It’s exciting to be a part of that.” The new-look conference be able to claim leadership and history of its teams as demonstrations of success. The ACC will pace all other conferences next season, with a total of 60 Final Four appearances between its member institutions. The conference will have 15 national titles, second only to the Pac-12, whose total of 16 can be attributed largely to UCLA’s 10 national championships under John Wooden. Five of the top 12 winningest programs in NCAA basketball history will call the ACC home. More recently, next year’s ACC members have won four national championships and appeared in 10 Final Fours in the past decade, both of which lead all other conferences over that span. Following Louisville’s inclusion in 2014, the ACC will also feature four coaches already in the Basketball Hall of Fame and a total of eight Naismith Coach of the Year awards between the current coaches of the 15 teams. “You have four Hall of Fame coaches, four who have won national championships, and no conference has that,” Krzyzewski said. “I think we need to build on that, the fact that we have that instantly. And the other coaches in our conference are guys who might achieve that.”
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
If the current and future ACC teams are able to replicate their recent success in the coming decade, the conference will likely assume the title as the greatest competitive conference in basketball history, surpassing the 1980s Big East and its own successes in the 1990s and then again from 2001 to 2010. Only the Pac-12 has captured more than three national titles in a ten-year span, doing so as the Pac-8 in the 1960s and 1970s thanks to Wooden’s Bruins. The parity of the ACC distinguishes the conference in that comparison—no Pac-8 team other than UCLA even reached a Final Four between 1961 and 1987. Now the winningest coach in college basketball history believes the conference needs to embrace the opportunity it has created and factor the quality of its basketball teams into its decision-making process. Krzyzewski also said that the quantity of elite teams one his conference schedule will also affect how he approaches the season with the Blue Devils. “The regular season championship can’t be a goal. It has to be a byproduct of becoming really good by the end,” Krzyzewski said. “We should be a league where you can get eight to 10 teams in the tournament. So make sure that you are going to be tested, you’re healthy and you’re one of those teams going into the ACC Tournament and the NCAA Tournament.” Despite the high level of competition, Krzyzewski also hopes the teams and coaches in the new conference will keep the goals of the ACC in mind. He said that coaches should talk about the number of NCAA Tournament berths the ACC is getting as a whole alongside with the obvious goal of earning one for their own teams. Krzyzewski said that type of conference-centric discussion—a rarity in college basketball—has already started among some of the coaches. If all goes to Krzyzewski’s plan, it could result in one of the wildest and most competitive seasons in ACC basketball history.

MEN’S LACROSSE
Expansion gives Duke championship flashback by Daniel Carp THE CHRONICLE
Duke won’t have to wait long to revisit its path to the 2013 national championship. The Blue Devils fought their way through Notre Dame in the quarterfainls en route to upending Syracuse for Duke’s second national championship in program history. Both the Orange and Fighting Irish officially joined the ACC July 1, stocking the conference even deeper with lacrosse superpowers. “The ACC has always had a proud history where all four members have been extremely competitive over the years,” Duke head coach John Danowski said. “One could argue that this will be maybe the toughest lacrosse conference in the history of the sport.” The ACC has been at the pinnacle of college lacrosse since its inception. Last season, three of the ACC’s four teams made the NCAA tournament and were seeded fifth, sixth and seventh. Throw the top two seeds—including the NCAA’s all-time winningest program in Syracuse—into the mix for the 2014 season, and the sport’s most dangerous conference has just become more competitive than ever. Next season, the ACC’s six lacrosse members will own a combined 26 national championships. “We’re extremely excited about the quality of play and competition,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said. “Now the ACC is going to be a bit more represented in the North and the Midwest. It’s going to be an adjustment for us in terms of some travel, but we’re excited to be on
some new campuses.” But playing in a revamped ACC slate will force more adjustments for ACC members than traveling farther distances and playing a tougher conference schedule. Having six teams in the ACC will allow for an expanded ACC Tournament, which will be played for the first time at PPL Park in Chester, Penn., home of the MLS’ Philadelphia Union. In addition to providing a more centralized, northern location for ACC lacrosse and taking advantage of the modern, 18,500-seat arena in lacrosse-crazy Philadelphia, the conference’s coaches decided to feature a matchup between the ACC’s No. 5 and No. 6 teams. Because that matchup will not technically be a part of the ACC Tournament, it will count towards each program’s allotment of 17 scrimmages and regular-season games. The conference’s coaches have yet to make a final decision about whether the matchup will be played at PPL Park or on the campuses of one of the participating schools. ACC members will not know prior to the season whether they will be playing in one of the ACC Tournament’s semifinals—which does not count as a regular season game—or in the matchp between the fifth and sixth seeded teams, causing all six programs to schedule one fewer game as a precaution. “There’s no way in predicting that, so it’s going to change how we schedule,” Danowski said. “We like to play a lot of games. So it’s going to impact either what we want to do preseason or what we want to do during the season.”

JULIA MAY/CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO
Last season, Duke upended new ACC foe Syracuse for its second national championship in four years. Another luxury ACC members will enjoy next season is an automatic qualifier into the NCAA Tournament for its conference champion—something that only leagues with six members are granted. When Maryland departs for the Big Ten for the 2014-15 academic year, the ACC will be reduced back to five lacrosse members. Danowski said there is a possibility that the ACC’s automatic qualifier could be grandfathered in for a second year, but an NCAA ruling has not yet
been made. In June, lacrosse powerhouse Johns Hopkins announced it would join the Big Ten as the conference’s first lacrosse-only member, which would ensure the conference would remain at six teams. Denver announced a similar move to the Big East a week before. The ACC has made no push to secure an automatic qualifier in recent years, SEE M. LACROSSE ON PAGE 16

RECRUITING from page 9 junior season in which he averaged 28.6 points and 15.7 rebounds per game, Winslow plays bigger than his size what indicate. Standing at 6-foot-5 and 208 pounds, the Houston native can hurt you in a variety of ways on both ends of the floor. The lefty’s athleticism allows for blocks on the defensive end and eye-popping dunks on the offensive end. Winslow’s play on both ends of the floor earned him the 2013 Gatorade Player of the Year in Texas and a spot on this year’s FIBA U19 World Championship team.

Jacksonville, Fla. guard Grayson Allen is Duke’s lone commitment for the Class of 2014 thus far.
Goodluck Okonoboh: Don’t let Okonoboh’s big smile fool you, he is an absolute beast under the basket. Considered by many to be the best shot-blocker in the Class of 2014, the Boston native possesses the tools to be a dominant force on the defensive end. Okonoboh’s 6-foot-9 frame also allows him to attack the glass on both sides of the court. His offensive game is primarily based on an isolation game on the block with solid finishing ability around the basket. Okonoboh’s size and de-

fensive prowess make him a dangerous force in the paint. The competitors: Cincinnati, Connecticut, Gonzaga, Indiana, Marquette, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina State, Pittsburgh, Providence, Seton Hall and Syracuse. Grayson Allen: Duke’s sole commit from the class of 2014 typifies everything you would expect from a Blue Devil guard. Allen has a silky smooth jumper from behind the arc, reminiscent of former Blue Devil great J.J. Redick, but scouts also describe him as a creative finisher because he can score in a variety of different ways. At 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds, he also has the athleticism to throw down big time dunks in transition. What may separate Allen from other shooting guards is his IQ, both on the court and off, where he currently holds a flawless 4.0 GPA. A team player and a hard worker, Allen will fit in perfectly at Duke. The competitors: None Devin Booker: Physical abilities usually catapult recruits put into the upper echelon of their classes. However, for Booker, intangibles are key. The 2013 Gatorade Player of the Year in Mississippi has the game, as is evident by his 29.7 points and 8.0 rebounds per game last season at Moss Point High School. However, Booker’s passion and basketball IQ are what have scouts talking. He most recently showcased his ability to hit the fadeaway jumper at the NBPA Top 100 camp this past June. That shooting ability and maturity on the court will make him a great pickup for any college. The competitors: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan State, Missouri, North Carolina and Stanford. Trey Lyles: College basketball has seen more and more athletic big men over the years, and Lyles is no exception. At 6-foot-8 and 210 pounds, the rising senior can run pose a threat in the post. However, he has the full package on offense, with an ability to score on the block or behind the 3-point line. Lyles also has the athleticism to run the floor in a more fast-paced offensive scheme. His dynamic offensive game and agility make him a top recruit. The competitors: Butler, Florida, Kentucky, Louisville and UCLA

NOLAN from page 9 on paper. Most of the credit for the juggernaut that will be the 2013 Wildcats should go to the Kentucky coaching staff. However, the players have more power in the college game than ever before. Incoming Kentucky freshman James Young put it best when discussing lobbying for more players, including Kansas commit Andrew Wiggins, to join the Wildcats. “The more great players, the easier it is for a national championship,” Young told recruiting guru Adam Zagoria in March. Once again, this strategy is not rocket science. Of course, the differences between using such a strategy in college and at the professional level are abundant. There is no guarantee that highly-touted freshmen pan out to be the players most expect them to be. In addition, the immaturity factor can make a team crumble over the course of season (i.e. the 2012-13 Kentucky Wildcats). As such, the importance of coaching at the college level is far greater than at the professional level. “I don’t look at myself as a basketball coach,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a 2005 American Express commercial. “I look at myself as a leader who happens to coach basketball.” So the question remains: will super teams translate to the college level? It’s hard to fathom a team loaded with raw,

largely untapped talent could be used in full. However, let’s think of this from the perspective of the average top-10 recruit. Highly-touted recruits are in college because the NBA has a one-anddone rule in place, so they presumably will leave after one year, perhaps two years maximum. What better way to spend your short time at a higher learning institution than with equally gifted athletes chasing down an NCAA title before you leave? There’s no guarantee success will follow, but when the best in the game are teaming up and dominating in the NBA, the plan is enticing. Whether Jones’ statements end up coming to fruition remains to be seen. If true, then Duke would be one of three schools in the mix for the trifecta, along with Baylor and Kansas. Securing all three would solidify Duke as the odds on favorites for a national championship in 2014-15, but it seems the move would only typify what the college game is slowly becoming: a rush for talent, no matter how long they stay in school. As the recruiting cycle heats up, college basketball coaches and pundits will be sitting on pins and needles as the nation’s newest power trio prepares to make their big decision. I’m not sure if I love the fact that super teams could be the future of college basetball. But if Okfaor, Jones and Winslow decide to take their talents to Durham, you know I’ll have my popcorn ready.

M. LACROSSE from page 13 simply because most—if not all—of its members receive NCAA Tournament atlarge bids perenially. Danowski said that it is very unlikely the ACC would puruse a lacrosse-only member to maintain its automatic qualifier past this season. “I don’t see why the Atlantic Coast Conference would want an outside school hoisting their trophy. To me, that just doesn’t make sense,” Danowski said. “Why would you want a school who’s not all in in your conference be the champion of your conference at the end of the year? I don’t think there’s any reason for discussion.”
Duke’s men’s lacrosse program will likely have an advantage in its transition into the new ACC when compared to other Blue Devil teams. Duke women’s soccer, for example, has never played a game against ACC newcomers Syracuse or Pittsburgh in the history of its program. The Blue Devil men’s lacrosse team, however, has faced Notre Dame in the regular season each of the last four years and in the postseason in three of the last four campaigns. Duke and Syracuse have squared off five times since the 2009 season, including twice in NCAA Tournament play. “For us, there are no surprises here,” Danowski said. “We are familiar, and it doesnt seem like it’s a huge jump to us.”

Cameron Crazie aptitude test Freshmen, I know the months leading up to school can be nerve-racking. You might be memorizing your schedule (Wednesday Shooters, Thursday Devines, Saturday Shooters again), Facebookstalking your future roommate, and eagerly trying to figure out which dorm will be coolest (probably with more Facebook stalking). And only adding to the stress: the Andrew pressure to know everything about the Duke basketball team. Spelling Krzyzewski isn’t easy, and neither is Zafirovski (it’s even been wrong on his uniform once, poor Todd). Other questions you might have: Will the Shooters bus pick me up from a Saturday night game... after all isn’t it Club Cameron? Can I rush AND black tent? Is it true I can’t leave the student section to pee during games? In the meantime, here are some questions for you as you ponder what type of Cameron Crazie you might be:
Beaton
ELYSIA SU/CHRONICLE FILE PHOTO
The Cameron Crazies will likely have some fun with North Carolina’s P.J. Hairston this season after his recent arrest.
How dedicated will you be to going to games? a) Might check out Countdown to Craziness, not sure after that b) Will go to a handful of games, never spending more than a few hours waiting to get in c) Will strategically tent for one night to get into DukeMichigan, but might skip UNC d) Mommy and daddy will see me on TV painted blue and in the front row at every game On gamedays, you are most likely to use social media to.... a) Instagram a selfie of me and two friends in K-Ville (Hudson filter) b) Vine the people around you during “Every Time We Touch” c) Update your Facebook status every time Duke wins, including #GTHC regardless of opponent d) Whatever, it’s always Tinder time. Your favorite player is… a) Quinn Cook because I respect floor slapping b) Josh Hairston because I respect somebody who knows his way around a beard trimmer c) Rodney Hood because I respect the quiet swagger d) Todd Zafirovski because if Todd’s playing, Duke is winning big What big head will you bring to the game? a) Coach K b) That dude who I live with and want to embarrass on national TV c) Flash-in-the-pan celebrity who’s going viral (think PSY circa fall 2012) d) P.J. Hairston’s mugshot, even when we’re not playing UNC What are your feelings on Tyler Thornton? a) Love the scrappiness and hustle b) Can’t quite figure out why he gets so much playing time... c) I knew it was worth playing him because I knew he’d hit that clutch three d) All of the above How much do you hate UNC? a) Rooted for the Heat because they have Shane Battier, and they beat the Pacers and Tyler Hansbrough b) My most-watched YouTube clip is Gerald Henderson nailing Hansbrough c) Would never date a UNC student d) Would hook up with a UNC student just to not call them back the next day You might not understand all these references yet and even might not have applied to Duke knowing the basketball team is one of the best in the country. (A fact you’ll hear a lot: The Blue Devils have been in the top 10 every week since Nov. 19, 2007). But whether you turn out to be the craziest of Cameron Crazies and try to outdo the kid who dresses up as a Storm Trooper every game, or use games as an excuse to get some quiet time in Perkins, get excited for a fast-paced and thrilling year of Duke basketball. It’s going to be a good one.
