We haven't heard one thing pro-UK in nearly a month. Seems pretty clear to me that if he were to pick now, he'd go Duke.

I do think he'd play for us, and have a reasonable chance of starting, depending on who comes back, but his minutes would surely be cut thinner than almost anywhere else. So I wouldn't blame him at all for going to play at Duke.

Do you think minutes are all it comes down to?

Capel isn't going anywhere. Is also helping coach K with the Olympics this year? Always wondered during that time period who will be in charge of the player development with the incoming freshman and players returning? Scheyer/ Nate James and Nolan possibly?

Check out Bolden's tweet after the game last night.... It was of Amile after Duke won the championship
Hmm... Interesting. I'm pretty confident he is coming to Duke with that tweet and when he retweeted that one tweet with the hashtag future Duke legend. I also notice he will retweet some of Harry' tweets as well.

It's been stated a couple times that Obi might retire due to chronic knees and a bad back. If he does, I think there is an alternative scholarship he can get, dropping him off the basketball scholarship leaving us with 12. If bolden comes he brings it back up to the max 13.

Also read somewhere else that Obi is supposedly going to be graduating this summer and might look to be a graduate transfer... Both of these have no sources and no real knowledge, I just read these somewhere else.
Jackson, Giles, Tatum, DeLaurier, White, Thornton, Allen, Jones, Kennard, Jefferson, Obi, Vrank, Jeter....these make up 13. I'm assuming Duke needs a transfer to add Bolden.

Bolden's decision is for sure looming and trending for Duke. If he goes to Duke the line up will only be shy of a true PG (if DT leaves) and experience.

Look at the size on the bench that might not see any minutes.
Vrank 7-1 270
Obi 6-9 265
Jack 6-7 225
Javin 6-9 220
Justin 6-8 200

Will be interesting since it seems Cal hasn't had much communication with bolden over the last 5 days and change, and you have Capel going in to try to seal the deal, all while Fox and Bolden are roommates at the USA gig.

It literally could be 50/50 IMO.

Any idea how the news will be made public? Whether it's Twitter, school announcement, tv announcement, etc. Anything scheduled?

Just saw a tweet from Wayne Gooch (sorry on my phone but I'll copy what he said in his tweet if anyone can post the tweet id be appreciative)

"One more piece to the 2016-17 Duke's basketball team will be added soon."

Possibly Bolden???????????
