The Duke basketball program appears to have suffered its first official exit of the offseason.

For the second straight season, the Duke basketball team has begun its offseason in mid-March and roster movement is already underway.

Many look to the Blue Devils for the top NBA Draft prospects and its most notable draft eligible player, Jalen Johnson, bolted from Durham in mid-February to try and preserve his draft stock amid the struggles of the five-time National Champions.

Aside from the five-star recruit, people could make the case that Duke did not have another instant-impact pro on its roster and all of its players should return for at least another season, but that does not look like it will be the case.
