So so excited! I received a phone call from Nolan Smith tonight after answering a trivia question he posted on Twitter. He asked 2 trivia questions...1 at 7:45 and another 1 at 9pm. The first question was about the jersey # he originally wanted to wear at Duke...#43. The second question was about the high schools he attended...St. Johns, Riverside Baptist, and Oak Hill Academy. I was one of 5 lucky winners!
So, he called my cell phone and we talked for about 5 minutes. He was laid back and just really nice. He said he just wanted to thank his fans for supporting him and the team. I asked him about what he was doing now that the season is over and how he'll prepare for the draft. I also told him how I'm a big Duke fan, had been to Duke in December, and that his phone call was the highlight of my week. My mom was in the hospital over the weekend. I'm taking care of her, so it's been stressful. To get a phone call from Nolan is a total pick me up!
Also, an FYI....Jon Scheyer was busting on Nolan during his trivia game, but was convinced to do his own trivia tomorrow night. So, if you want a chance to talk to Jon Scheyer on the phone and you have Twitter, then hang out on Twitter tomorrow night and you could get a chance to talk to Jon!
I've also tweeted with Rasheed (our recruit next year) and Jose (the Duke trainer) and that's been really cool as well!
