If the visit by Oregon coach Ernie Kent to Medford last week wasn’t enough of a hint that the college basketball season is fast approaching, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s appearance this morning on ESPN First Take drove home the point. The first official practice is Friday.
Coach K outlined his squad thusly, and of course, former South Medford star Kyle Singler factored into the brief discussion:
“We’re gonna big, something we haven’t been able to say in in four or five years,” said the coach. “We’re gonna be athletic. Obviously, we’ll be led by our veterans, Kyle Singler, Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith. Those three kids will be on the perimeter. Singler is gonna play totally on the perimeter, which shows how big we are this season.”
Singler is a 6-foot-8, 230-pound junior forward. He averaged 16.5 points and 7.7 rebounds last season.
