We saw Joey and Wendell in a DBP video a few days ago so Mark was the only unknown until now.

This is good.
Very good news.
This made me smile. Much needed right now.
If Mark continues to improve and builds muscle over this off season, next year’s team has a VERY high ceiling, even with our anxieties about the backcourt. The front court could be that good, IMHO.
Does being listed on the roster mean that he is definitely coming back? Seems that published future rosters can be changed if situations change. Sorry to be pessimistic, and I hope it is set in stone.
That's good to know. I was also wondering how "official" this really was. I would feel much more comfortable if the school put out a statement or Williams sent out a tweet confirming he'll be back.
The sky is the limit for big Mark, and I can't wait to see him next season. I certainly don't expect him to put up a 20/20 every night like he (almost) did against Louisville, but to see a big guy improve that much during the course of the season was almost unheard of. Add in a full summer of workouts and practices, plus a full preseason, and he's going to be a monster.
This dude us super important. He is looking like a stud.
Here's my question, and I don't know the answer. Was Matthew Hurt on that roster a week ago?
I'd love to see Mark Williams play for Duke next season. I just have to ask, though, has the roster ever been revealed like this before? I don't think this means anything.
I find the premise of the OP to be questionable if not borderline jinxy. I move that this thread be closed immediately before something bad happens.
Aw man! Look on the bright side. Mark's sister came to Duke, played four years, saw her jersey go into the rafters, and is a leader in pro hoops. Mark came to Duke, shows enormous promise, and has been told that there is room in the rafters for another Williams' jersey. Why wouldn't he return?
I agree. Until the NBA deadline has passed and everyone is sitting in a classroom for fall semester so they theoretically can't transfer for the fall, I am not assuming anything. Duke usually tends to be very thoughtful and intentional about these kinds of things so I am cautiously optimistic, but for all we know some work-study kid was told to start working on posting next year's rosters with little knowledge of anything. Things are too fluid these days.
