Generally speaking, old news is old news and there’s not much point in plowing the same ground twice.
There are exceptions though. Sometimes you just hear things that you want to pass along because other people might not have heard it either.
In this case, it’s a loss in the Duke family that happened over the summer: Johnny Dawkins, Sr. passed away in July.
Most people who were following Duke in the 1980’s got to know Johnny Dawkins, Jr., when he was at Mackin High and on his way to Duke. He, as much as anyone, helped to lay the fondant for what we know as Duke Basketball now.
