Duke losing Okafor, Winslow, and jones..

I don't blame Tyus Jones either, his stock will never be this high. He's probably a top 15 pick.

Someone said, if you take the 4 final four teams, something like only 5 of the 20 starters are going to be returning to school. All 5 on Kentucky are gone, 4 on Duke, I think 3 on Wisconsin, and a couple on Michigan st.

Duke now probably picked 3rd or 4th next season to start the ACC, almost certainly behind UNC and UVA, and perhaps behind NC St. Grayson Allen and Matt Jones are nice players, and I'm sure they have a great class coming in, but I think next season probably a little down for Duke, at least by Duke standards

One thing that college basketball history has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt, the rich get richer and Duke, UK, etc will just reload and suffer little dropoff. And Duke is the best coached team in the country to go along with having all that talent.

I wouldn't bet against seeing them both in the FF again next year.

Yes, I think we should wait a bit before writing off Duke next year. Let's see who they bring in. Although they will have a tough time bringing another Okafor on board.
