If he comes back, dang!

I just got the Bleacher Report notification. Wow. That's a big shocker. Ultimately think he goes but IF he returns..
 
He would be the best big man in the draft next year. It's not close. Bolden won't be happy but if I'm a Duke fan and Carter comes back bolden, who almost transferred last season, can go kick rocks.
 
Fake news. Carter will NOT return to Duke. You can breath easy folks he will be playing in the League next year.

I wouldn't want Bolden to transfer no matter what! He held his own when he returned from injury later in the year! As long as he's healthy, he'd make a great back up to Carter.

I still say Carter is gone.

Coach K should pitch Carter the idea that he can complete his degree in 4-5 years of online/summer classes if he comes back for a second year. If not, his road to a degree is looking more like 8-9 years. Golden opportunity for K.

Not sure why he's even entertaining this, to be honest. I'm guessing he wants to make his mom happy. So he has to try really hard to make it appear as if this is the deliberation of a lifetime. Ultimately he's going to go with his gut. I have a hunch that his gut likes money.
 
Would be huge for duke with their stable of small forwards. I haven’t been keeping up with the mocks much but he has to be a top ten pick right?

I don't know... there are a LOT of good bigs in this draft...?

No way he stays. No way. I mean, his mom wrote a whole thing about how college basketball is sort of BS.

Best not to get your hopes up. Kevin Knox dad spent the few days leading up to his decision teasing a return. We see how that went. Money talks. And they were supposedly in good shape financially.

yeah then she says she advised him to stay in this article. it's all BS, he's gone, but it adds suspense and the whole "torn" storyline generates buzz around him.
 
If he does return, the meltdown would commence on several boards
the "selfish K forced him to return" posts would be through the roof... but luckily they would be offset by that ringer article the other day where selfish K forced Duval and Trent to go pro by recruiting 4 5* recruits.

Yea I think Carter is gone. But Bolden isn't gonna deal with being a back up for 3 years if he did return.

Well he'd better declare for the draft if that happens. I don't think he wants to sit out a year by transferring.

Yea he would probably be best served to do that. I could see how somebody would spend a late 1st round pick on him to see if he develops in next 2-3 years.

He isn't going in the first round unless he comes back and has a really good junior or senior year. The way the NBA is played now traditional big men are becoming or already have become a thing of the past.

What's difference in Bolden and say Tony Bradley?

Tony Bradley played around 20 minutes per game his freshman year I think... that would be one big difference, the other is that in his 2 years in college Bolden has been plagued by injuries.

Something his haters refused to acknowledge
 
Bradley is more explosive and had much better stats. Much better stats.
Tony Bradley couldn't jump over a phone book. He was fairly fluid , skilled and had a 7'5 wingspan. 7 points and 5 rebounds in about 14-15 MPG
