Duke released some 5-on-5 video Friday, and almost immediately, one noticed Drew Scharnowski on crutches, with some sort of black sleeve covering most of his right leg.
Hopefully it's nothing serious.
As a result, freshman Maxime Meyer got more time than he probably would have.
What's immediately obvious, even without the powerful Scharnowski suiting up, is that this is a deep and talented roster. And while this is just a scrimmage, we saw a lot of promising things.
Let's start with talent. Obviously, this team is talented, but some of the freshmen are better than expected, and the returnees have grown their games.

It was a big weekend on the campus of Duke University as students moved back in to prepare for the start of the new school year.
Jon Scheyer, his family and the coaching staff were there to lend a hand to parents and incoming students who needed help, with Scheyer's son, Jett, gifting an item we all needed in our dorm room: a mini basketball hoop.
To welcome the class of 2030, Scheyer spoke to the incoming freshmen in Cameron Indoor Stadium, surely to fill them in on the many traditions and chants of the Cameron Crazies.
While Scheyer does have some newcomers on his team, including transfers John Blackwell and Drew Scharnowski, joining freshmen Cam Williams, Bryson Howard, Deron Rippey, among others, those guys have been on campus this summer looking to get ready for the 2026-27 season, in which the Blue Devils are already one of the favorites to bring home the national ******* le.

The expectations for Duke basketball have remained the same since Mike Krzyzewski turned the Blue Devils into a powerhouse: national championship or bust.
That will be the case again for the 2026-27 season as Jon Scheyer enters his fifth year in charge and looks for his first national ****** le as a head coach. The Blue Devils fell short two years ago with a loss to Houston in the Final Four and again this past March after a heartbreaking loss to UConn in the Elite Eight.
With a loaded roster that includes Caleb Foster, Cayden Boozer, Dame Sarr and Patrick Ngongba, who all return from last year's team, along with transfers John Blackwell and Drew Scharnowski and incoming 5-star freshman Cam Williams plus others, the Blue Devils are already among the favorites to bring home the trophy next March, according to Vegas.
Scheyer's squad and Florida, who won the national ****** le two years ago, are co-favorites to run through March Madness next season with +600 odds.
Fans of both teams won't have to wait to see if the Blue Devils and Gators meet up in the Final Four in Detroit next season as they meet in the ACC/SEC Challenge on Dec. 1, a rematch of last season's game in Cameron Indoor Stadium in which Duke pulled out a thrilling 67-66 win over Florida.
