April 10, 201610 yr Interesting news as Duke was out of scholarships and has an in-home tonight with Marques Bolden.
April 10, 201610 yr Well it is now official. Derryck Thornton is transferring. That makes Frank Jackson the only PG on the roster next season. I haven't heard why he is transferring. I hate to see him leave. I think he'd have been a great player for the program in the same vein as Matt Jones and Chris Duhon.
April 10, 201610 yr Won't that leave them thin at PG next season? Bolden may go there but who will get him the ball. All shooters and no distributors.

April 10, 201610 yr Looks like Thornton wants to play closer to home. At least that is what he said in his statement. Duke Makes Derryck Thornton Transfer News Official | College Spun
April 10, 201610 yr Will there be enough basketballs in Durham for all the talent coming in? UK has the #1 recruiting class.
April 11, 201610 yr Author Didn't Coach K & Duke really put to push on Thornton to reclassify and move up to be eligible this year? Seems curious that they need a scholly for Bolden, and like magic it suddenly appears?? His uncle seems to think he might have been "done wrong" a bit??

That guy was his trainer, not his uncle FWIW...
