I was just coming to say I read this haha. The portal is a mess. Let’s just get on with all the announcements don’t know why we’re taking so long to say bye
Off-season thoughts
- Thread starter pisgah101
- Start date
I reached out and offered hot dogs and coors.
I read one where it’s Arkansas, Kentucky, Duke and I forgot the forth team but he also has a do not contact on his portal entry .
Good insurance in case we lose a guard. We probably only pursue if Proctor or Foster leave.

At this point it’s all just a guessing game
Number 25 Incoming Freshman Acaden Lewis backs out of his commitment to Kentucky lololololololol
Will duke ever win a championship again? Not sure now after the choke job, all the talent every year what a waste
Bye bye now .
Yep, that was a troll job shey. OFC
I saw an article on CBS Sports about "Insiders share Duke portal news." So I read the entire article about stuff I already know. Then at the end it asks me to subscribe to Devil's Den. I hate leading **** like that. We must be the only team in the country who has released absolutely no NBA/portal news. I guess they are all coming back.

Football related but this is what we're doing now? I saw he wasn't at practice today. Nil is out of control
I cannot see that so I can only assume we are doing a big white box.
Edit: okay now I see it.
NIL contract negotiations. Can't see that going down a bad road at all.

Will uk ever make it to the Final 4 again? Probably not, Kentucky likes losing to St. Peters, Oakland, and Kansas State too much hahahahaha
Maybe Jon does have some sort of special reveal planned for this year's departure announcements. Who knows? He is a young, progressive coach. Also, of all the Duke teams in the past 10 years, this one really seems to have an especially tight bond from Cooper right down thru Hubbert. Let's see it! One big presser to announce everyone's plans for next year.
Cayden is a true PG. below is a scouting report of him on 24/7. Also, he averaged 7 assist a game this past year. Plus, he’s 6’4 so he fits the mold of the bigger lead guard Jon seems to favor.
Boozer is a lead guard with terrific size and an extremely advanced ability to read and think the game. He has very advanced instincts and feel for the game. He sees the floor, feeds the post, dictates his own pace, and almost never gets sped-up. He’s as reliable as it gets in high school basketball with the ball in his hands, continuously posting better than 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratios. This year in the EYBL it was 6.6 assists against 2.1 turnovers. Earlier this summer it was 6.3 assists vs. 1.7 turnovers with the 17-and-under national team in FIBA play. Last year, it was 6.7 assists vs. 1.4 turnovers on the Nike E16 circuit.
If we’re very interested in Lee it’s probably time to get involved. I have a hunch he’ll be off the board in a week or so.
Maybe we’re not involved yet because we know something.
I’d welcome him especially if it means Foster is the SG if he returns.

You brought up a great idea, and it really got me thinking. Making a unified announcement for all players would be a powerful move. It creates a “Brotherhood” moment that shows unity, brings closure to the season, and builds a bridge to the next one. It would also make things clearer for fans and establish a more consistent way to share roster news. And honestly, this approach would once again make Duke a trendsetter—not just in how we play, but in how we lead. I really hope the program considers it.
When you say that, do you mean all that’s returning declaring at once?
Or all no matter their decision?
I don’t think all at once would be fitting but that’s just me.

I'm thinking the same thing. Minus the obvious Kon, Flagg, and Maluach. I ld say they all are returning... it's way too late to get impactful transfers, and getting really late for a player to find a future destination. Hopefully we are correct.
Personally, I’d love to see it all happen at once—and make it a spectacle. Something you can easily share on social media that celebrates the guys moving on and reaffirms the ones coming back. You wish the departures well, welcome the returners with energy, and if any portal additions are locked in, you announce them too.
It creates clarity, builds hype, and sets Duke apart—not just on the court, but in how the program connects with its community. It’s a branding moment, that kind of visibility and unity is vital.
Let’s see the flaming trident from all the recruiting visits!

This is from NBA draft room;
Like his twin brother Cameron, Cayden is a high level prospect in the 2025 recruiting class.
He’s a strong, well-built combo guard with an advanced skill level. He’s a tough driver and creative finisher who uses his frame well and can finish through contact.
He’s also listed anywhere from 6’2-6’4 from 24/7, On3, ESPN . Both 24/7 and ESPN both say he plays off the ball just as well. Reminds me of both Proctor and Foster. Both played pg . Foster his senior year switched to sg which is now why both are considered combo guards and Proctor played off the ball some in Australia but also at Duke .
He will have the ball in his hands the majority of not all the time at Duke.
I kind of wish I hadn't lived long enough to see "contract negotiations" applied to a college football player.
Also saw one of my favorites today: "decommitment."
OFC
Tennessee knew who they were dealing with with him and his family when they bought him in the first place. This should be no surprise to them or anyone else.
Not always the best option to buy the top talent available. Culture matters.
That's the guard we should go hard after. 6' 5" and shot 44% from 3.
What do you think is going on with Duke right now ? They got to see who they can get to return from this roster .
Duke's players aren't sitting out practices to force a new deal.
Watched this kid a couple times last year, tremendous physical ability but needs all the reps he can get. He's hurting himself and his team by making this an issue now and handling it this way.
Wonder if he could be our Kon next next year if we don't get Ament
