Yay! Great news! Great quote! I'm excited to see the results of that work next season.
“Those two kids, they’re champions,” Krzyzewski said of his senior leaders. “They’re trying to teach the other kids how to become that, and it’s a long road to become that.”

Great news! Glad he had a change of heart. Here's hoping that he gets/is healthy and is ready to make a big-time impact next year.
Suddenly, the frontcourt looks potentially imposing again.

Hazzah! I'm sure everyone takes back everything they said about the way the Duke program is terrible and falling apart.
In all seriousness, this is great news. Bolden has a lot of potential in spite of his struggles during his freshman season. He has the potential to be a great player at Duke. He's about the same size as Jahlil Okafor. Alongside the also quite large Wendell Carter, Jr., Duke may be able to overwhelm teams with size next season. The frontcourt depth now includes Vrankovic, Bolden, DeLaurier, and Carter. That's a good mix of players, each providing a different skillset. All I have to say is GET IN THE WEIGHT ROOM BECAUSE DUKE BASKETBALL NEVER STOPS!

This IS great news. I was feeling a little edgy about all the off-season changes. Here's hoping the big guy can stay healthy and make his mark next season!!!

"You have choosen ... Wisely!"
You Mr. Bolden have immense potential, certain athletic and skill gifts that are just screaming to be honed and polished. With the support you have in place, the determination and work ethic, the sky is the limit. You can be one of the best big men in the country, and eventually a great NBA career too.
Carpe Diem!

It is possible that Rowe was correct as of last night and that Bolden just had a change of heart and/or guidance from someone close to him. It is also possible that Rowe was just too trigger-happy last night. We may never know. But I am glad we got some good news! Hoping for more good news in the coming weeks.

Great news!
I think Marques will have a big year next year (assuming good health, of course). He and Carter give Duke a lot of size down low. Hope K and the rest of the coaching staff develop a defensive scheme that allows the two of them on the floor together for extended periods.
