1. Well first you got to get off the computer and play some ball
2. it depends on where u live if u live in the west its very hard and if u live in a small city or state in the west like montana its damn near impossible
3. Long way for you boy. Practice! Join a league, most importantlyyy.
4. Get a 4.0 and be a GOOD PLAYER
5. well you have to study hard too you know since Duke is in the IVY league so its pretty tough so I recommend going to UNC
6. First of all, get out their and run and play some basketball.
7. Well I am a huge Duke fan myself and getting into Duke is very hard. You should play everyday and work hard on the court and most importantly in THE CLASSROOM if you want to go to Duke. I wanted to play at Duke around your age and now I'm 16 and realized i have no shot. So if that is really your dream then you should play basketball every day and work on your skills every day that you can. Hit the weights later on and work on DEFENSE. This isnt a guide to getting you into Duke, I'm just saying this will help you.
8. Get a new dream. By the time you are 17 and looking at schools, you will realize that if it weren't for Christian Laettner and the other "dukie"s you could play at a real Bball school like an SEC conference team and have much success. Plus I don't like the ACC. One day you will either agree with me or think I'm just another fan. Bottom line.. play year round, find coaches who specialize in shooting, defense, etc... and also: play fast. The faster your game is, the quicker you will leave the competition behind. And fast doesn't just mean fast... it means smart as well... good luck bud!
