Don't doubt yourself. They wouldn't have looked at you if you weren't good.

Duke is an excellent school!

I often don’t feel like I’m good enough. In fact I always seem to be trying to do better than my best. But I choose to ask myself, Good enough for what?” And “Good enough for who?” The answers to those questions usually give me perspective.

Hello Buddy , Congratulations! The thing to keep in mind is that colleges don't waste their time and money on players that aren't capable of success. They are very experienced at knowing what to look for in a potential player. So I think you can trust their judgement. It can be scary , any new experience is, but it can also be quite exciting. You will be under an obligation to your school. It is kind of like a job in that they pay you and you have to do your best. In your position you should want to do your best. As a team member and a representative of your university you do represent your school in everything you say and do. These positions aren't for everyone so be proud of what you accomplish . Once you get to college they will work with you to ensure that you stay. You will be part of a team and the staff will support you. Your success will be their success. Go for it buddy.

Oh my goodness! That is awesome news! I didnt play sports in highschool. However I say, just be yourself! You cant go wrong with that! As long as you dont do anything illegal or party hard... I think youll be just fine.

You obviosuly were scouted for a reason. You must be pretty good. Dont let the pressure get to you. Trust me when I say this, Ive been out of highschool for 12 years.... some day these will all be memories and stories. So dont sweat the small stuff!
