What an honor for Jon (we knew Kyle would be on the list). I think that Jon will go down as one of the most underrated Dukies ever. He seems to get recognition for being good at a lot of things but has there ever been a kid (maybe outside of Kyle again) who was more willing to do whatever it took for us to win? I for one think that if we continue to recruit kids like Jon and Andre, the sky is the limit. Congrats Jon and Kyle!!!!

A pretty long list of Duke players who were willing (and able) to do whatever it took for Duke to win.

Yes, congrats on making Andy Katz' list of 50 players (excluding transfers and freshmen) possibly comprising a preseason list for post-season honors as player of the year. You've earned it.

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

Jon didn't make Andy's list. He made the actual Preseason Wooden Award Top 50 and Goodman left him on when he did his own list. Goodman took Deon Thompson off his list...

That's great. He's clearly one of the best 50 returners in America. None of that showed up in any of the links. I'll shut up now.

No worries. I feel the same way about most of Andy's work...

You think Andy is one of the 50 top returnees this year? :)
