Tyrese Returning!

[J4Kop99]

Huge news! Maybe there is some value in staying another year after all. Here’s to hoping some of his fellow teammates feel the same way as Tyrese.

This is superb news! Tyrese Proctor improved steadily all year, and we get to see him turn into a MONSTER!

This has become a beautiful rainy and overcast morning!

Brendan Marks on Twitter:

"This Proctor decision was expected, as is at least one other."

Hmmm..Mitchell seems to be the most likely, leaving room for Flip as 50/50.

I said before that as long as we got one of Proctor / Roach plus one of Flip or Mitchell back Duke would be able to contend for a title next year. If we get three back I think it moves us to favorites.

Fabulous news. I am sure all the pessimists — the doom and gloom crowd — are surprised and pleased to be wrong.

I think our back court could be a strength if the incoming freshmen play well.

I am genuinely shocked by this news. I was 100% certain he was gone given the fact that he reclassified, his size, obvious skills, and the way he finished the season. I totally sit here corrected and happily admit I was wrong.

Now have to wonder what dominoes fall from this. Will Blakes or Schutt now look elsewhere?

Awesome news, Proctor is so key in getting us back to being an elite team next season. He arrived on campus late last summer and maintained steady improvement all season long. If that continues, the sky is the limit for how good he can be.

We'll have to see what Roach and others decide but even without him we'll have a really big backcourt. Proctor, Foster and Schutt are all listed at 6'5. McCain and Blakes are 6'2 and really solidly built. Still more decisions to be made but this is a great start to the week!

Outstanding! I was feeling less confident about his return. Truly great news.

McCain is 6’4”

Haha I don't know, just appreciate the good news and a cup of coffee for a few minutes!

Great news. He was arguably the most important player to get back, perhaps neck and neck with one of Flip/Lively. A huge boon for next season's roster.

I concur. With Tyrese, we'll have a very strong backcourt.

[MartyClark]

This young man improved so much during the year. I hope he has a huge sophomore leap forward.

Perhaps I'm not hip to the lingo... what does 'let's run it back 5' mean? Is that a shout-out to the starters returning, or just my wishful thinking?

Awesome news!

[bshrader]

Brendan Marks Twitter:

"Tyrese Proctor's return- one of several expected for Duke- is a win-win for both sides."

This is getting really, really interesting...

Proctor wears the jersey number 5. "Run it back 5" = 'Proctor is returning.'

[Music man55]

The kind of good news I like to hear first thing in the morning! Must say, I am pleasantly surprised! Tyrese should be a star next season and hopefully we get more good news, Mitchell and or maybe Flip🤞

Coupled with Marks twitter post, was hoping maybe it meant something else. LOL

I don’t know whether McCain is 6-2, 6-3 or 6-4, but this from the release on him being named California Gatorade Player of The Year was impressive: “Jared has volunteered locally on behalf of a school sports program for special needs students and has maintained a 4.0 GPA in the classroom.”

Love the video Tyrese tweeted out: https://twitter.com/tyreseproctor/st...cT35mxugtfMCvw

The Duke social media team is second to none. I’d imagine they’re guiding the timing and production of these decisions, and we may see them staggered a bit (each with their own slickly produced video) so each guy gets his day in the spotlight.

Second to none.

Amazing news. Amazing video.

Hold on, BigZ. A title? Like, National Championship kind of title?? If that’s what you’re thinking you are indeed the optimistic Devil (Blue) of the day!

Now can you get this gray pallor to lift over Chapel Hill — I’m literally referring to the weather where I live, not UNC Basketball — so I can play some clay-court 🎾?
