Despite reports surfacing recently that Duke has reached out to Austin Nichols after his decision to transfer from Memphis, sources have told BlueDevilLair.com that the team will not pursue Nichols. The 2016-17 roster is projected to have sophomore Chase Jeter, redshirt junior Sean Obi and redshirt freshman Antonio Vrankovic patrolling the post, with the Blue Devils considered favorites to land 2016's #1 player, power forward Harry Giles, as well.





Nichols committed to Memphis out of high school over Duke, but according to people close to the situation the interest between the two parties ended there.
