Every year after the NCAAs is over I have discussions with folks who are not die-hard college BBall fans and they wonder what in the name of Chapel H*** do you talk about on DBR all year. These same folks also don't understand why I get on DBR during the season but they at least understand that those discussions are during the season.

So, I want to start at thread listing the "general" topics we discuss through out the year. I was going to start this in May but so many topics have already come up that I may as well start now. Keep in mind these are general topics with specifics that may change year to year but they still arise. To get us started here are topics so far in April.

April:

1. NBA defections
2. Transfers
3. Starting line-ups for next year
4. Premature rankings of teams
5. Current year recruiting (meaning freshman in the Fall)
6. Future year(s) recruiting (eveything after the Fall of this year)
7. Coaching changes
8. Schedule for next year (I must admit this topic came a little early this year)
9......

Please feel free to add to the list.

In May I will come back and move this back to the top and add things we are still discussing and also new topics.
I also hope to keep this going until this time next April so that we can define the "seasons" of Duke and college basketball.

There have been a variety of threads about Duke football of late.

Per Jderf's law .....


As a DBR discussion grows longer, the probability of a debate between UNC and Duke's current teams/rosters approaches 1.

...... multiple threads that, sooner or later, no matter how far removed, will transmogrify into the only thing that counts, Duke v. UNC. Your friends, wonderful folks all, probably don't fully understand that "To Hate Like This Is to Be Happy Forever."
