My niece played VBall and chose Duke for it's smaller size over much larger schools. She graduated in '99 and has maintained friendships with many teammates.

Just think of all the school records your DD can set...

I'm thrilled your DD is coming to Duke. I go to UNC and NC State games frequently and can't wait until Duke starts up so I'll have great options every weekend. No better place to be a softball fan if you like seeing lots of teams than Raleigh. Not putting down her previous choice, but I'm betting she'll like the Raleigh area better, if just for the weather. And the basketball. She'll get to be a Cameron Crazy. As a Georgia native, I'm always pulling for the Georgia girls. Hope yours gets in the rotation soon.

One of the best parts about Duke is they will probably be starting 9 freshmen in the Spring of 2018 and will only have 12-14 players on the roster, so the opportunity is there if my DD is willing to work hard and earn it.

She has a great chance to be a record holder for at least a year or two, but not sure how competitive they will be their first year. I know of couple of girls from GA coming in the 2018 class, so hopefully they will improve quickly.

So awesome! Congrats to DD and your family! Our DD (2019) just wrote them.

Let your DD know that she's an inspiration for the girls of the DFP family who have been following the journeys of other families. Faith in the process! 💖

Congratz... what the last 3^ said ... I know you'll keep us updated on TV / Streaming schedules :cool:

I need to check into what the AAC offers for online streaming options. The SEC Network and their partnership with WatchESPN rocks, and I am hoping the ACC has something similar.

This is awesome news. How great for her and I can't wait to hear all about her experience. We have a kid on our TB team who made a 32 on her ACT as an 8th grader and is interested in Duke also. I would expect that program to grow rapidly. Good coaches.
