He is supposed to be making his decision tomorrow at 3 on the NBA Today show on ESPN. There hasn’t been any crystal ball picks yet that I have seen. Let’s hope he joins the Brotherhood to join up with the amazing class already.
 
Whatever he chooses I think we'll be fine regardless. I remember seeing an interview where he said he liked Duke because we play defense and he knows his defense needed Improvement. Think Jon figured out a blueprint of what he wants from this year's success... Length, defense, toughness and muscle. Nate is rail thin and would get bullied. Kon being a couple inches shorter would bully him. Don't get me wrong, I still would love to have him and if we won't, I trust Jon to get someone that will work out just as good.

And agree with @dukecorey , Evans coming back would be huge
 
Hard to get excited about a recruiting announcement when we are playing in the Final 4 on Saturday. I think the pick is Louisville but regardless, this could be a blessing in disguise. Go back to this time a year ago when we missed out/got outbid for VJ Edgecombe and Flory Bidunga (both top 5/top 10 guys). Well, this allowed us to bring in Sion and Maliq.

I trust the staff has a plan, and I don't see how Ament can ever be a real contributor on an elite defensive team. Plus if he does choose elsewhere, hopefully this signals an Evans return.
 
Did he think we were going to get knocked out before April 1st?? How dare he! Lol. In all seriousness, does seem like it's up to Evans. No other reason for him to wait until after the tourney and our players make decisions.
 
Prediction:
Ament will be the first college basketball player to skip the post season in order to "prepare for the draft," just like some of the idiot football players.

I don’t think Ament is anything like Jalen Johnson. I think it is smart by him to see what the rosters look like before he commits. I think that helps Duke out this way he can see who is still on the team for next year. If he didn’t wait I feel he would’ve already committed to Louisville. He is probably waiting to see what Evans does first. We should have that answer pretty soon. I would rather have a year 2 Evans but if he opts for the draft/portal I would take Ament in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't let Ament walk my dog. He would change his mind halfway around the block.

Why you say that Will? Something happen with his recruitment? Just curious

I'm just totally fed up with college basketball. In fact, I'll be composing my "Farewell to Devis Illustrated" missive in the next couple of days, when I get a chance. Read it if you wish.

I’m at the point to where it really isn’t college basketball but an amateur sport . It is truly out of hand . I mean when a kid can transfer back and forth between two schools four times you know it’s ridiculous.
I feel like Ament is playing the bidding war game . Who ever he chooses your getting him for six months then he’s off to the league . At some point someone has got to get control of this entire process .
 
I didn’t know about a bidding war. I did see Travis Branham said he feels it’s between Duke and Tennessee now, with Duke in the slight lead for Ament. He also said Louisville is now fourth behind Kentucky also. Found that interesting.
 
I will believe that when I see it. Plus I don’t think you turn away top 5 talent. I just don’t want it to affect a player that was wanting to comeback.
Yeah…never a good thing to turn away top 5 kids…give me the most talent possible.
