Sound the sirens! Sion James is headed to Duke, and we discuss it on Episode 627.

The 6’6” graduate transfer arrives in Durham after 4 years at Tulane, and Donald and Jason are excited about having him onboard. Besides him being built like a machine, he brings a lot of qualities to the table that will really help the Blue Devils next season, from strong play at the rim to sportsmanship. When it comes to transfer players, it’s about fit...and Sion James is a great fit for the Blue Devils.

After the break, Christian Reeves is headed to Clemson. We discuss his departure briefly and that leads into a continuation of our conversation on Duke players entering the portal. Donald focuses on some of the talk over Jeremy Roach leaving and he’s here to tell you that it’s not an indictment on the program that he has decided to graduate and leave his home for a new opportunity.
