How cool would it be..

If everyone returned next year (minus Q of course). This team shares an incredible bond, one I have never seen from a Duke team. They really seem to love each other. I put this at a 10% chance, and thats probably being a little ambitious. Jah, Justise, and Tyus chose to come to college together, they chose to play for the GOAT, and they have become brothers along the way. Why leave so quickly from a perfect situation, and leave for most likely an unstable one? If I were Jah and Justise I would probably leave to the NBA, but it is because I think of it as a 19 year old with a lot of ambition. But I'm sure down the road if they choose to leave, they will always wish they could've played together another season at Duke. They had the best run of any freshman class in NCAA tourney history, but why stop after one year when you can stay and learn from K and most likely win number 6. Just one more year. I bet Jabari was sitting on his couch last night wondering "what if". I understand the money and injury aspects, but they would benefit more in the long run with another year at Duke. This was the best year of their life most likely and not just because of the success, but because of the experience with the brothers around them.

All in all, I am glad they chose Duke and brought home a title for Quinn and K. These guys were my favorite Duke team to watch play together and compete down the stretch. They just sweat determination and the refusal to lose.

Thank you Jah, Justise and Tyus. I will forever be your fans wherever you end up in the future. But just think. One more year. How cool would it be?

Agreed but you're setting yourself up for disappointment and possibly even bitterness by expecting them to return. They came and finished the job. They don't owe us or DUKE anymore.

If we won next year, then people would expect a 3rd year. IMO all 3 are gone.

It'd be cool if Bill Gates and Tim Cook showed up at my door and said, "take all our money, we don't need it" with Jennifer Aniston and Kate Upton behind them saying, "we spoke with your wife and we're cool with a wife-Aniston-Upton-FTB foursome, everyday, until you die" and some scientist chimes in to say they have a new serum that will make my dog live forever.

While all that is more likely to happen than all three Duke players coming back, I like to dream about it nonetheless.

Yeah the only one that left anything to be desired (and even saying that is a stretch) over the course of the Tournament is Okafor, and really that's only because expectations were so high for him, he actually played quite well too, including some of his best/smartest defensive performances of the year. So it would be silly for any of them to come back. Tyus could, but his stock will probably never be any higher than it is right now, and most guys improve more in the NBA individually than they do in college, even at a top notch program like Duke.

It would be extremely cool if they did. Not gonna happen of course.....but it would be cool.

It would have been cool if our team this year was:

PG - Tyus
SG - Hood
SF - Winslow
PF - Parker
C - Jahlil


with Austin Rivers coming off the bench as our 6th man

Would have been cool? LOL we just won the Nat'l title with CHEMISTRY as a main ingredient.

If that happened we would be whining and crying about who gets minutes, whose in Coach K's dog house, whose transferring, " why isn't Joe Blow playing?" , " I wonder what Jim Slim done to ride the bench?' "Did your hear that Flip Dipp and Sky Dye are transferring?" Yep just like in past years with having 10 scholly players on the roster that's what we would be doing. OFC
