We understand, it would be great situation for Duke and Keels if he did end up staying another year. Keels can build on what he needs to work on and be lead role and improve his draft stock. Plus Foster can stay in his original class and not have to reclassify. It would help keep 2023 class strong and he can continue recruiting players he wants to play with. Really hope this all happens.

Tyus Jones and Cook
Sheyer and Smith
Duhon and JWill
Roach and Keels can definitely be a championship level backcourt IMO.

If Keels comes back, my concerns immediately shift to an inexperienced frontcourt that will have to deal with Bacot etc. at least 2-3 times during the season. I can't see Lively handling him (and other experienced wide bodies) by himself.
If Keels does come back that is a game changer for us. Keels and an experienced frontcourt player like Broome.
Or go get Lofton Jr. He definitely could handle Bacot
Work on his FT shooting also. He left a lot of points off the scoreboard.
Ha. Fine. I may have gone a little overboard. But with the YOUNG talent coming in, having two returning ballhandlers with experience and talent would be a huge relief.
You don't have to reveal sources, I just like the conviction in your statement. I will definitely be more excited to have Roach and Keels at the PG and SG spots.
If Keels returns do you think Duke will need another guard? If Blake’s can spell Roach and Schutt contribute, I would think they can play DW some at the SG. That would be a tall lineup w Keels, DW, Mitchell, Flip and Lively. Like to see them play some 1-2-2 zone w DW up top.
Agreed. If this happens, we probably need a Theo John type guy and we would be solid.
If Keels returns I wouldn’t look for a backcourt transfer unless it’s one that just loves Duke . The front court I agree will need atleast one more experienced big.
If Keels returns that solves several of our problems. But with Bascot returning we need more beef in the frontcourt.
What several of Dukes problem Chris? I know it solves a sophomore sg and Whitehead staying at sf . Seriously asking not picking . I think Dukes biggest issues are like you’ve stated a Theo John type big to help prepare the front court. Duke needs experience but it’s going to be a hard sale to get players out of the portal.
Well it solves some strength, defensive and experience issues in the backcourt. Keels is an NBA talent with final four experience. And the kind of player who would blow up his second year

I agrees. If he looses some body fat and picks up his speed he can be unstoppable next to Roach . Especially if Roach works on his shooting . His attacking the basket is already great.
Agreed. I have been hearing it more and more from a friend tied to Paul VI.
I’ll bring the lighter and join.
We got to get you on something better lol
Armando Bascot. We’ve got to come up with a classic nickname for this classic tool although I’d take him on my team anytime. I just like the way he plays. If Rick Mahorn can have a successful NBA career I’m guessing fish face can as well but the NBA won’t tolerate enforcers anymore in this softer more pc era
It’s banquet for the last time. Johnny don’t play the light game
I have some **** bag uncles who can hook us up with some good crack probably.
I gotta guy. It’s cool Like how many uncles do you have that can get their hands on some good crack? 2? 8? You from the south side bleed?
For the record I said Keels and Moore. If just one comes back no one needs to smoke crack ha
Damn, and I have a cousin doing 27 more years for meth distribution. Sounds like we’re covered on both sides lol
He's been dealing with a foot injury. Maybe he had surgery? Nothing I have seen to confirm it.
Looks like some type of brace around his left thigh above his knee. Not sure
Maybe that's partially the reason he got zero minutes in the tourney. Hopefully nothing serious.
I hope Joey gets better. Maybe him and Keels and Roach come back. A frontcourt transfer and that's about as much experience as we had this year.
Guys keels and roach will be back. Relax
Caleb Foster isn’t reclassifying. That should tell you something.

someone on another site suggested a hip brace. it could also explain why his shooting went downhill so quickly.
