Can't see any way Beal stays. He's comfortably in the top 4-8. Then again, McAdoo did...

Updated as of today. Still a lot to decide, many could go either way, others we know it's a formality.

Yeah, Burke staying.

Perry Jones III is leaving. Wouldnt be surprised to see Quincy Miller jump ship either, with the Baylor news breaking.

Smart move on Burke's part. IMO, he's nowhere near ready for the NBA.

DraftExpress/Jeff Goodman saying to stop holding out hope Marquis Teague will return. He is 100% gone, just a matter of announcing.

Can see it either way for Teague. The PG competition is very weak in this year's draft class and next year's class. At worst, he's the 3rd PG taken this year.

Looks like Mason Plumlee is returning to Duke. Combine that with the possibility of Oriakhi and Shabazz, Duke could be a major player next year.

Looks like John Jenkins is leaving Vanderbilt after his Junior year.

Tony Mitchell STAYING at North Texas.

Duke won't get Shabazz or Oriakhi IMO.

B.J. Young coming back to Arkansas.
Victor Rudd coming back to South Florida.

Good choices for both. If Marshawn Powell is back 100%, Arkansas should be a very nice team.

LeBryan Nash staying at OSU.

Sort of a dark horse team next year. Will return everyone but Page and have 3 MCDAA's.

Lol. For real, though, you guys look like you'll be in pretty good shape for a tourney run.

With Mason Plumlee's announcement on Tuesday of his return, Alex Oriakhi has removed Duke from the list of potential transfer destinations. Makes sense, as Oriakhi probably wants -- or at least hopes -- to land somewhere where he'll be the primary center, which wouldn't have been the case with Mason still around.

If K pulls another trick out of his hoops hat and makes Shabazz appear, then that will be some serious Dave Blaine shit. Duke is Duke, but, in the eyes of most recruiting gurus and others in-the-know, the Blue Devils have been out of the picture for a very long time. If Duke gets Bazz, Coach K has another possible pre-season No. 1 (with the very plausible exception of Indiana).

Is Duke even being considered for Bazz still? I wouldnt even bother watching. He is going to UCLA with the slight deflection to UK.
