Is it too early to start a thread on roster predictions for next seasons roster?

Sarr. We’ve know for a while he was back. I forgot this is the free board.
No one has known for a while Sarr was coming back ? Where you get your info . Everyone thought he’d enter the draft while keeping his eligibility. I’ve never seen anyone of note say anything more then he should come back or coming back another year would really help him but no one has said Sarr was for sure fire coming back . Until it was posted today .

Icyup the majority of us on here have been posting on here a lot longer than you.

Posters that come on here trying 2 stir stuff up amongst the team without any thing of substance to back up their claims are going 2 be looked at as trolls.

you claiming Rippey Jr. is transferring out of Duke is a great example when Rippey’s dad himself has stated the contrary to your claim.

And I’m a paid subscriber. It’s easy to say someone has no stake or is a troll, yet I’m paying to be here.

I’m telling you what I think. I have a right to think what I want, and I happen to think it’s not 100% certain Rippey ends up on campus. I’ve seen all the stuff from his dad. It’s not new to me.

I’ve seen it for a least a few weeks across trilly, Patreon, 247, etc. Sure, no one could guarantee he would be back, but everyone thought that was the likely outcome for a while. Sarr being back wasn’t a surprise at all.

As opposed to the welcome I received which was so polite…

You get what you give. I’m a nice guy, but I’m not going to let people talk however they want to me. Show a little respect, and I will do the same.
That didn’t answer my question- why are you here! To talk Duke basketball or just try to pester? That’s a serious question. If you wanna talk hoops great you’re welcome if not go ahead and go back to your home board

I haven’t seen one report from anybody ne of note saying anything more then , Sarr should return for a sophomore year .you calling out sites does not support the arguement. Just simply say ,” I believed he was coming back after reading articles !” That would go over a whole lot better .

Dame will lock Nik up next November, can't wait.
Don't really fault Nik for leaving, he'd be our 8th man versus a starter at UConn, but him going to them is pure evil.
There is no loyalty in college sports anymore, unless your name is Caleb Foster.

If I’m Pat, Caleb,Cayden, or Sarr I have that game circled on my calendar. If they don’t think Nik going to UCONN is a slap in their face then there’s a problem. I hope they use it as extra motivation and punk Nik and UCONN’s ***.

Not the ending for chris
What? Hitting a halfcourt 3 to beat the spread?
lol
No, definitely not the ending, and DEFINITELY not to THAT frickin team again. I just remember being kinda down on him his soph & jr years when he didn't progress as much as I/we hoped, then his senior year was really redemptive. Similar trajectory with Quin.

The way Caleb came back so quickly from this season's injury and largely saved us vs St John's is like an early jump on the iconic Duke senior bump.

Who do we predict as the starters? Next season could be the toughest to predict starters in many moons.
Foster
Blackwell
Sarr
Williams
Ngongba

I think our 2nd unit also could be a Sweet 16 type team. Absolutely ridiculous. Guys accepting their roles will determine our ceiling.
