If there was any question about whether Mataeo Durant would return next season it probably ended when Duke let David Cutcliffe go. One of Cutcliffe’s great strengths was that he fully committed to his players and they had real respect for him.
This was reflected in Durant’s post announcing his decision where he said this:
“You’ve given me everything I could have dreamed of and more. You’ve allowed to to reach new heights a kid like me could only dream of, and for that I am so grateful. This has been a long hard journey, but if I had the choice to do it all over again I would.
