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

    We loss quite and as a Duke fan. I was just hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. I was extremely happy to see Dame, Pat, Cayden and Caleb come back. However, we still loss Cam, Slim, Nik, Maliq and others. We should still have a very good team this year if folks stay healthy and play...

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

    I just want to reiterate what I initially posted at the start of this thread. Harris = Transfer Sarr = NBA Evans = NBA Pat = NBA Cam Boozer = NBA Cayden = Transfer (Miami?) Nik = Transfer (especially if Cayden is gone, they are best friends) Maliq = Graduation/NBA Caleb = Transfer 50% Jack...

    If Jon gave you…

    Didn’t we blow a 20pt lead against nc state in the elite 8 that year ? Who cares about ACCT championships ? I guess that’s the standard for Duke now.. smh. How long will we continue to justify zero National championship game appearances for the past 11 years while having some of the best teams...

    If Jon gave you…

    I would give him a B+ based on regular season success. D+ for NCAAT success, you just cannot underachieve with the amount of talent we’ve had 2-3 years in a row. People forget we should have loss to 16 seed Siena in the first round

    I was in denial telling myself there is no way we blow this lead even if the refs call 3 fouls in a row on us to start the second half

    We depended on too many freshmen who are not ready to handle high pressure situations consistently. Cam, Nik , Cayden, Darren (basically a freshman based on how the lack of minutes his first two seasons) besides Cam, most of these guys were up and down all year including Dame

    I sure am. After 2019 I told myself I was done. Got reeled back in for K’s last season. I will not invest in this program again until we get old. feels like I am the only person who notices that the OAD philosophy is not working. Sucks seeing other programs littered with vets winning the NCAAT...

    Should we take the bait ?

    To be honest, Cam coming back to school seems way more feasible compared to the players we had in the past. His brother could stay plus NIL could be huge factors but yeah being projected top 3 hard to say no to the NBA

    Sarr gone he’s been a projected first round pick all year. Evans gone, he might be late lottery to be honest and coming back to Duke Would cost him millions. Same thing with Pat. Last year Maluch and Proctor could have stayed but they left to pursue NBA money.

    I forgot to mention that we lost Asst coach Evan Brads as he took the job with Belmont. He was a big reason our offense got better throughout the season. Defensive coach Dildy may be gone too, he was slated to take the Charlotte job before it fell through.

    I agree and it sucks because this was year to atleast make a title game appearance. Feels like next year our ceiling is round of 32, sweet 16 based on how young we will be.

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

    I think it’s wishful thinking to expect Sarr and/or Pat to come back. Too much risk and to be honest, teams will scout Sarr a lot better next year after seeing how limited he is on offense (just force him to dribble or drive to the rim, he most likely will turnover the ball or make a boneheaded...

    Dame Sarr is gone, he has been a projected first round pick since his breakout game at Stanford. Pat gone too, he’s was projected late lottery/mid first round after the Arkansas game plus his foot issues is too much of a risk not to go after guaranteed NBA money. Wilkins is a great culture guy...
