Glad you all enjoyed it, and appreciate the comments. The great thing about all of this, is I didn't even talk about his impact on recruiting. Some of you mentioned it ... but all of the characteristics that will make him a great coach are the same ones that make him an exceptional recruiter!

One the main reasons Keels chose Duke was because of Nolan Smith. Great article!

Great write up! Loved the quotes from so many of the guys. It reemphasizes how special he is and just how important he will be for years to come. He relates so well to all of the players and that will continue to provide us both on the court, in recruiting and in the culture of the brotherhood.
