My "I have no idea other than what I read on twitter and message boards opinion"- He is waiting on what Bolden does. If Bolden goes pro, EJ is 100% coming to Duke. If Bolden returns, 50/50 Duke and somewhere else.Whats the status with this kid? Is he still a heavy Duke lean?
This is my feeling as well. I really want Bolden back. Nothing against EJ, but 5 freshman starters is a little scary. I suppose we could go with Javin and EJ off the bench.My "I have no idea other than what I read on twitter and message boards opinion"- He is waiting on what Bolden does.

We wonder why some of these kids transfer. Well let's see, you have the kids that think they're one and done, and will play serious minutes. So why would a kid that thinks he can contribute, be gung ho to sit the bench for 2,3, maybe all 4 years of his college career?Good points, but I'm assuming today's kids want to start. If Bolden comes back and stays healthy I think he will be very solid.
I think EJ definitely could. He is more of a 4 than a 5 from what I’ve seen and definitely wouldn’t be a 5 in the NBA. He has a good enough post up game but also likes to face the basket and drive. Seems to be a pretty solid shot blocker as well.I haven't watched him play a ton but couldn't he play the 4 at Duke with Bolden at the 5? I guess most people assume Zion plays the 4 but Zion can play the 3 too when one of RJ, Jones or Cam go out.
I wouldn’t count on Vrank getting any meaningful minutes.Is there a real possibility that Bolden leaves?? Can’t see him getting drafted. Would make no sense to transfer at this point since he’s the number 1 big at Duke.
Having said that, I assume EJ would get minutes at the 5 since there is PT available. Will Vrank get minutes next year?
A lot of good that did us this season I prefer Bolden though, if I had to choose. A junior is preferable to a freshmen in this instance, IMO.Having Bolden and EJ would possibly put us at preseason number one again.

Not sure if we need this EJ kid. What would be ideal is for Bolden to be our junior center. Hope that happens, and he works hard this summer.I would like to have EJ but prefer to have a Junior Bolden for defensive reasons. I don’t see Bolden as a first round draft pick this year. Maybe late second round this year with the plethora of big men in this year’s draft. He may slide into the late first round of next year’s draft if he comes back.
Javin hasn’t progressed as much as I had hoped for over the past two years. He is not really a center or a small ball five. He can’t protect the rim on defense, fouls too much because doesn’t have the lateral quickness to guard faster more atheletic players.
Just curious, what makes everyone think EJ will be a multiple year college player? He is the no. 12 recruit in the country who seems to be quite skilled. We’ve certainly seen kids ranked much lower head to the NBA lately.
Chase Jeter says hello. I have no idea if EJ will be a one and done. But I'm pretty sure he thinks he will be.Just curious, what makes everyone think EJ will be a multiple year college player?

He can play the 4 but will he be happy coming off the bench? Hope he signs with Duke accepting the fact he will have to earn PT and is planning on playing for 2 years at Duke.I haven't watched him play a ton but couldn't he play the 4 at Duke with Bolden at the 5?

Lots of questions for EJ to answer prior to making an announcement
Where to go:
- Duke, Kentucky, UNC or Vandy
How do the coaches plan to use him
- Inside & out
- face up 4
- role
- potential for play time
How much does he feel like a priority/important
- is he part of something special
- is he the missing piece the team needs
- how much effort is he getting from the staff
Just lots going on.
Could Gary be back?!!
