Next season, Duke fans will get what has been a rare treat lately: a fourth-year senior (which isn’t necessarily the same thing) in Jeremy Roach.
That in and of itself would make him exceedingly popular. But his reasons for why he's returning are also interesting.
First, Roach wasn’t invited to the NBA Draft Combine or the G League’s version. Being a fourth-year guy at Duke, which is perhaps the most visible basketball program in the country, guarantees him substantial NIL opportunities.
But while he’ll take advantage of those, that’s not why he came back either. So why did you come back, Jeremy Roach?
