An amazing assembly of talent and athleticism. We are rolling the recruiting trail people.

Even if it's just those 3 it's still a great class. Allen, Bagley, Carter, Duval and Trent are probably in the NBA. If Bolden comes back along with Javin, Vrank and the development of guys like Alex, Goldwire, White and even Tucker we will be contenders again. OFC
It's crazy to be this excited about next years team at the beginning of another......but I am.
Absolutely.....the ones we will have returning and the 3 currently coming, I'd put that team up against anybody
Because I’m becoming very selfish, I know we are obviously looking at other recruits.. do you think we get anymore or do you think this is a 3 man class with maybe a grad transfer based on who leaves?
I still think Zion is in play, obviously....but other than him, I’m not sure. I have to think K would still like to add a big, whether it’s a late recruit or Duke going the grad transfer route.
I think it all comes down to Zions mind. Does he want to be a Superstar or a Champion ? If he chooses Duke, I think he's in line to finish a National Champion before entering the NBA. If he chooses a lesser school, he'll be a star no doubt. Does he want to play with great players or does he just want to be The Man ? We'll see.
I'm cool with Wendell wanting to get his degree before leaving Duke and playing with these 3 next year.
He’s going to graduate from Stanford this year and will have another year of eligibility left. And yes, he picked Stanford over us, despite many feeling a month before his decision he was a done deal to Duke.
I think in today's game you always need to have a contingency plan. I am not saying either are locks to leave after this year, but so much can happen in a year. No one was considering Frank leaving after 1 year and it came to be. We should be exploring bigs for next year IMO.
Guys we don't stand a snowball's chance in hell getting Zion now that HOF Coach Roy Williams is this involved.
...until he pulls Zion’s offer for not taking academics seriously.
Well according to the experts at Rupp Rafters, Tre Jones is grossly overrated. Lol.
It will be interesting to see what other pieces will be added to the class. Hopefully it's a big.
This year's team is really fun and I'd love to see it bring home number 6.
Next year is the more typical Duke team. Loaded back court, think on front court depth

Any "inside" thoughts/expectations on Bolden returning or leaving? Modestly improved versions Bolden, Javin, and Vrank with any contributions at all from Tucker and Robinson is not bad considering how good we should be at the 1-3. And, if Tucker, Alex or Goldwire step up, our small lineup with Reddish at the 4 is not that small. Still would love another big, especially if Javin Blows up and leaves after next year.
