Duke basketball rising junior guard Caleb Foster entered the 2024-25 season as a perennial breakout candidate around college basketball, but things didn't go as planned. After entering the season as a starter, continued struggles eventually sent Foster to the bench in favor of Sion James, and Foster struggled to crack the rotation at all for the second half of the regular season.
However, after a few solid performances in the NCAA Tournament, Foster elected to come back to Durham for his junior year. Duke head coach Jon Scheyer spoke about how the ups and downs that Foster dealt with as a sophomore could translate into the guard finally having his breakout season that fans have been waiting for.
