Duke will win it ALL in 2019

Depending on who comes back Michigan could be a beast next year
 
There should be enough players coming back to various teams to make for a pretty strong field next year.
 
Duke fans have claimed the greatest team in NCAA history the past two seasons, failing to make the final four in either one. We should be cognizant of history on this board.

This Duke fan didn't! I know first hand how it is to play with a group of freshmen. Too many inconsistencies!
 
Coach k has own basketball. 2 titles in last 7 years. This doesn’t seem to be down by anyone else. Cal has won 1 title in 11
 
Yes he's the guy that feeds our premium board inside information on recruits from asking Capel questions at Denny's.

Lol. I haven't seem him around in the real world in a bit but when someone said that was him it made sense. I would love love to see him and Keyser in a battle of wits.
 
Duke won't be nearly as good next year as they should have been this year. Outside shooting will be a concern, got a lot of good players coming in but they all kinda play the same position and oh yeah we will be even younger. Expect terrible defense again, not looking forward to starting off the season against Kentucky.

Depending on who we have, should be a great game.

I hope Kentucky returns everyone and we have another 2015 UK/KU moment. I would like that very much.

I mean, it won't be even remotely close to that but I do think Kentucky wins.

While I agree that outside shooting will be a concern for Duke next year, I'm not of the belief that Reddish, Barrett, and Zion all play the same position. To me Zion is a college 4 all the way. Coaches who thought of playing him at the 3 spot would have put him in a bad position. Yeah Reddish and Barrett are wings but Reddish has the handles and 3pt shot to be lethal at the SG spot. To me the key for Duke next year has to be Jones. Will he be the level of his brother or will he be the level of Thornton or Duval as freshmen.

I think it depends on who comes back and goes for each top team. I know we will be very good if we get everyone back, except Knox.

Knox and Diallo I expect will go pro for sure for UK. Gilgeous-Alexander is the big question mark but think he should go pro as well.
 
Especially when you consider Quickley, Herro and Baker coming in next year. Throw in Green returning and it's getting crowded.

Great news about that though, is all 4 above are shooters.
If Knox, SGA, and Diallo all leave, as expected, I hope Cal offers Hagans and he reclassifies.
