Duke Basketball Freshman Has Countdown Message for Fans
Power forward Sean Stewart, who grew up in Florida as a neighbor to Blue Devil legend Grant Hill and is one of four five-star newcomers on the 2023-24 Duke basketball roster, sounds and looks ready for the program's Countdown to Craziness festivities on Friday.

The event, highlighted by the players' "dance" introductions and the Blue-White intrasquad game, will undoubtedly draw loads of fans for the second campaign under Jon Scheyer's command. No issue there.
Nevertheless, while walking to breakfast on Thursday, Stewart checked in for a video on the program's social media with a message to all of his fellow longtime Duke basketball fans (he told Blue Devil Country on SI.com that he credits Grant Hill for his fandom as a kid):
"Countdown, T-minus one, we ready," Stewart says in the video. "Be there or be square. OK? Do not miss it. If you miss Countdown to Craziness, what are you doing?"
This year, the Fan Fest (leading up to the official Countdown to Craziness in Cameron Indoor Stadium) will be free and open to the public for the first time.
