'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
Mina Kimes is a great journalist. I'm looking forward to reading it. She will be on the Dan Le Batard show in a while (delayed out here) to discuss the article. She is very knowledgeable and quite funny*.
*I enjoy the Dan Le Bartard show but I know a lot of people do not.
Count me in the "pro-LeBatard" group. I wouldn't try to talk anyone into liking him, but I enjoy it probably 80% of the time, which is better than almost all other shows currently running.
As long as we are on this little segue, I heard Dahntay Jones on his own show recently. Maybe on Fox Sports?

A great six minute video on Zion in high school.
Includes some brief interview footage of a younger, shorter and less physically imposing Zion.
Well worth your time.
I disagree with each of your points. Granted, it is all a matter of taste. I enjoy his dad, and it feels to me like he is "in on the jokes." I sense LeBetard is self-deprecating as much as anything else, and part of his shtick is being mystified by their level of success. And I love Bomani. I listen to his podcast regularly.
Different strokes, I suppose.
Every time I see this thread title I want to post that picture of Lloyd from “Dumb and Dumber” seeing the “Man Walks on Moon” newspaper headline...

Nice little article talking about how much Zion enjoyed his time and Duke and delayed officially announcing for the NBA because he didn't want reality to set in.

"You get this college experience once," he says. "If you're in a situation like mine, where you're one and done, I'm just trying to make the most of what I got. I love Duke, and honestly, I don’t want to leave. If I didn’t have as much at stake, I probably would stay for another year. But I can't.
"Being at Duke was a dream come true for me. Everything about it"
Okay where do you want Zion to go ?
As a Lakers fan I want him but they probably do something stupid and trade him for Davis if they win lottery
