Two former Duke basketball All-Americans are set to face off as head coaches in the Brotherhood Run Exhibition Game on Oct. 21.

UCF men's basketball coach Johnny Dawkins played and coached at Duke. He'll return to Durham when the Knights meet the Blue Devils in an exhibition.

With the NCAA allowing exhibitions games between Division I teams, the Duke Blue Devils will welcome former star Johnny Dawkins back to Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The Duke Blue Devils are regularly one of the most discussed college basketball programs in the sport, have widely been projected to be a top-25 team next season and brought in the top-ranked recruiting class ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

With Duke's offseason in full swing, the Blue Zone is here to break down film from the new additions to both the men’s and women’s teams. On the men’s side, we’ve already looked at Jack Scott. Next up is incoming transfer and bruising center Ifeanyi Ufochukwu.

He spent the week in California with Gatorade, which concluded with winning the Gatorade Best Male Player of the Year on stage at the ESPYs which recognizes him for his excellence on and off the basketball court. He maintained a weighted 4.82 GPA in the classroom and donated his time as a peer tutor in math.

One of Knueppel’s biggest strengths is his perimeter shooting. During his only year at Duke, he shot 40.9% from beyond the arc on 5.3 attempts per game. If this can translate to the next level, he should be able to carve out a nice role in the NBA.
