Duke basketball: Insider thinks Jermey Roach’s return could be negative

A college basketball insider thinks Jeremy Roach’s return could hurt the Duke basketball team.

The return of Jeremy Roach to the Duke basketball program feels like a major win for the Blue Devils that could help them win its sixth National Championship in April.

Jon Scheyer saw the return of Kyle Filipowski, Tyrese Proctor, Mark Mitchell, and Roach from last year’s team while Dariq Whitehead and Dereck Lively were the only two major contributors to opt for the NBA Draft following the season.

Duke also brings in the No. 2 recruiting class in the country, according to 247Sports, comprised of five-star guard Caleb Foster, Jared McCain, Sean Stewart, and TJ Power.
