He is not testing the waters. He is gone.

Duke needs to start bring in some players, losing them left and right. Still don’t know why Henderson opted out of his commitment and why Duke backed away from Ament. Those two are head scratchers right now unless something is coming up. So much for retaining players, it’s only C Fos right now and the freshman. Disappointing offseason so far.

It’s just my honest opinion. Just because a guy plays at Duke doesn’t mean they’re better than other guards. Proctor is solid defensively, but weak at taking the ball to the hole, an average ball handler, and a streaky shooter.

There's no guard out there we could bring in who would bring more than a senior Proctor would.

I just looked at some tape of Sebastian
Wilkins(we've offered), and plans to reclass to be eligible for '25-'26. Hopefully we get him, as he could make an early impact. Smooth. Drains threes and finishes at hoop. Good chicken soup for the soul!!!

I really don’t know what the game plan is either. Right now if magically Duke retains Big Pat, Brown and Evans that would be 4 return players. Now that Henderson left that leaves only 3 in coming freshman. A roster of 7 players is not going to cut it. Coach Scheyer needs to score big in the portal. Crazy seems like they sat on this news too.

Have we ever lost our entire starting 5?
2000 Close but Carrawell and Battier (sometime starter)
2016 amile (sometimes) and Matt Jones
2023 Roach returned after final four
2024 Proctor returned.

This is from the same fan base that was down in the dumps losing Mitchell, Stewart, and Power. Let’s let Jon do what he does.
We will but I think it has to be big . Just me but I don’t see any news yet that say Duke has built a team around Cameron .

We aren't suffering more than others. This is the state of CBB. Whole rosters are disappearing. ( eg Indiana, Baylor and Texas A&M..4 of their players transferred to the SAME school) The best you have is a one-year roster. Houston looks to have done well in this chaos, but all the other teams are jockeying for the transfers, trying to keep players, and seeing declarations. I'm sure glad the players got what they wanted. For long time fans of the sport its a disaster.
