Next year is shaping up to be a total mystery, which is perhaps the most exciting way to enjoy a season.

He could have been in the Hallowed Halls. If not the rafters, the concourse. He was heading towards an amazing finale, too bad we won't see it. From star at Duke to an afterthought in a year or so...sigh.
To his credit, he will be one I will miss, I got to watch him grow as a player, and that is becoming a rarity.

People tend to forget Luke Kennard was a 4* recruit not a 5*:

Good. We don't need any Jackson departure rumors getting any traction.

A healthy and focused Grayson Allen is a juggernaut! I expected Allen to leave and Kennard to return but Allen returning is very good news!

Frank Jackson entering draft but not hiring an agent. Will he be back?

Is it just me, or does the article posted OY (the interview with Knox's dad) make it sound like Missouri is going to be the winner?

If he comes to Duke, I look forward to his name being misspelled often.
