#632 - Brendan Marks Interview Part 2 - Reviewing the ACC’s offseason

Duke Basketball Roundup

We’re honored to have Brenden Marks of The Athletic back to continue our conversation on Episode 632!

On Part 1, we focused on Duke’s rebuilt roster, and on Part 2 of our interview, we expand our scope to the other 17 teams in the ACC. Marks discusses how some of the teams did in the transfer portal, with some of the teams that got much better and some of the teams that he felt missed an opportunity to improve. We discuss some of UNC’s issues with recruiting a big man and how the changing landscape of NIL has affected how teams recruit new players. We finally end with some of the players coming back that could help their teams and which teams to watch as they try to rise to the top half of the conference standings next season.

After we say goodbye to Brendan Marks, Jason and Donald go into further discussion on several points that arose during the interview. Needless to say, we could have stayed on for a couple more hours with Brendan and not fully discussed every facet of roster construction, but we’re grateful that he was able to share so much knowledge not just on the team we follow religiously but also the rest of the conference.
