Freshman guard David Mayer must have done something to impress head coach Mike Krzyzewski during his practices with the team because the 6-foot-4 guard from Durham was just added earlier this afternoon to the men's basketball roster.
The news came through a Twitter post from Duke Blue Planet that read:
Congrats to David Mayer who was officially added to the squad after working hard as a practice player. Dave is a 6'4" G from Durham.
The 195-pound Riverside High School graduate averaged on a per-game basis 2.3 points, .3 blocks, 1 rebound and .3 steals in the three games he played his senior year, according to his profile page on MaxPreps.com.
This addition is reminiscent of last year when 6-foot-9 forward Todd Zafirovski was added to the squad following Olek Czyz's decision to transfer to Nevada.
