My bet is in the next week or so we'll get a good hint as to what Pat is thinking about doing, whether it be the NBA or returning to Duke.

I don't think he's considering the portal at all.

And once we know about that, Duke will begin to allocate resources toward –

toward a big man.

I think that whether it's Pat or Flory or someone else as the starter, Duke will also look for a backup big man in the portal.

So yeah, big man is going to be one of the major places that the Blue Devils are looking to.

I say portal, but there are freshmen, there are international bigs that Duke's also looking at that are possibilities, but we won't get into all of that.

I want to get to a couple other things about roster construction.

The first one is, especially with the way we've seen Darren Rippey playing in, you know, in the McDonald's practices, McDonald's all-star game, it's clear that Darren Rippey is going to play a lot of minutes at point guard next year for the Duke Blue Devils.

And I'm just going to go ahead and say, I think that makes it

a little bit less likely that both Caden Boozer and Caleb Foster will be back at Duke.

I hate to say that.

I would love for Duke to retain all the guys who are not going to the NBA.

I just don't think that's going to be the case this year.

I think it's just going to be harder to make everything fit.

My bet would be, if I had to go out on a limb, my bet would be that

Caleb Foster is sort of the least point guarding of those three guys.

Darren Rippey is clearly a point guard.

I think Caden Boozer is clearly a point guard.

I don't think either of them are sort of well suited to play off the ball.
