Now that the regular season is over with a big win in a rivalry game against a top 10 team and a heart touching Sr Night for Grayson, the team enters the realm of win or go home and it's really tough to imagine that with all the hype surrounding this year's team and the current Fr that they could have as few as 2 games left.
Departing players
It has been discussed a lot. The entire starting unit will either be gone of at least declare. I'd also expect Bolden to get feedback on draft stock.
Grayson- Gradutes
Bagley- Gone, top 5 pick
Carter- Gone, top 10 pick
Duval- Declares, & stays in. 1st round pick
Gary- Declares, & stays in. 1st round pick
Bolden- Declares. Gets feedback 50/50
JRob- Does he stay or will he find a program where he can play out his eligibility?
Vrank- will he stay? Has an opportunity to contributes next year
In coming players
Don't need to discuss because all 4 recruits will be starters and OAD type guys.
But will others be added via EJ Montgomery or Grad transfer?
After watching the game yesterday when both Carter and Bagley were out Duke didn't have anyone inside that looked to score. To me this is why getting EJ or a grad guy is a must especially bc Duke won't have any consistent shooter. They will be more of a slashing, dribble drive team.
Player Development
Alex- has the tools just needs to get physically stronger and not defer to others
Jack- physically ready and has a great motor and attitude. Bring that confidence to shoot the ball
Jordan- another one who needs to get stronger and have that same confidence he had in HS
Vrank- stay ready big guy. The spirit of Zoubs is in Cameron
JRob- stay at Duke
Excited to see this year's team win #6 and next year's be in line to contend for back to back!
