Jon Scheyer held his first pre-season press conference as Duke’s head coach and had a few things to say. The most interesting thing was about star freshman Dariq Whitehead. Scheyer said he is “ahead of schedule” and should be back “sooner than later.”
If you missed it, Whitehead broke a bone in his foot in late August and has had surgery to fix it. Here’s what Scheyer said:
“He’s headed in a great direction and he’s right on schedule as far as his recovery goes, if not even ahead, so we’ll just continue to work he’ll be able to progress and do more on the floor more on the court.
