Bradds was a star player at Belmont and the allure of heading home had to appeal to him.

Luckily, he has committed to sticking around the Duke program until the season is done, hopefully the first Monday in April. The Duke Basketball Roundup discusses what this move will mean for Duke and Jon Scheyer moving forward. The podcast guys also chime in with the latest on Patrick Ngongba’s injury situation.
