Let's say Foster stays. Hard for me to think Blackwell comes when there's already four guys for two spots. Just my opinion, but if we get Blackwell, I think we don't keep Caleb.

I do agree we need a solid big. Not some guy from some school that averaged 1.8 points, 2.4 rebounds in 10 minutes of action either. I don't think our 2 freshmen bigs are ready for the physicality they're about to see.

I don’t disagree but it sure seems like foster is staying and they’re all in on Blackwell.

Yeah give me Blackwell even if that means no Foster. Blackwell can go out and get you 20-25 almost on any given night. I love Caleb and him doing what he did in the Sweet 16 will always go down as an unbelievable moment, but Blackwell gives us that scoring we really need. Just my opinion

As much as I hate to admit it, I agree. I love Foster, so that’s what makes it harder to admit.

Guys:

There are 4 guards spots, 4 of Cayden, Foster, Evans, Rippey Jr, Blackwell will occupy the 4 spots.

Not trying to be argumentative, but we have 2 guard spots, maybe 3 in small doses. That’s Cayden, Rippey, Howard, Foster? and possibly Blackwell.
You’re also asking two 5 star incoming freshmen (Rippey and Howard) to put Duke above themselves. Maybe it can work.

Maybe and I agree with you Mac . Maybe these freshman want a NC at all cost and want to go to war with this team . Could Duke be looking at its first recruiting class under Scheyer that wants everyone to return and hit the court ? Maybe, and I don’t know but just maybe these recruits are team first. I’d like to see a group of players come out with a purpose 1-9 .

no offense taken at all Mac, you are good.

I look back to the 23-24 team where Roach, Proctor, McCain, and Foster all split time starting throughout the season.

I Firmly Believe Duke is a program where time on the court is Earned.

I believe the only difference with this comparison is the 23-25 team started 3 guards. Next year team would hopefully have Sarr starting at the 3 spot
