We’re back with Episode 820 where we get to know what we’re getting in new transfer John Blackwell from one of the coaches that knows him the most. We welcome his high school coach, Rick Palmer, to the show!
Rick Palmer has known John since late in his freshman year of high school, and with Jason not available, Donald gets to catch up with his high school teammate about the player that will be one of the focal points for Duke next season. We get into John Blackwell’s game and discuss what kind of player Duke is getting. We get into what his best traits are on the court and what Palmer believes will make him successful in a Duke uniform.
We also discuss John Blackwell the person and how grounded he is. One thing you will hear about is how great of a teammate Blackwell is (relating his leadership to a famous Duke player who played his high school ball a mile down the street), and how he embodies the fist mentality that Coach K instilled in the program. Rick Palmer only leaves us more excited about having him on the team next season!
