Fans Celebrate as Duke’s Roster Takes Shape: Scheyer Breaks Silence on Key Returns
Duke basketball fans have reason to celebrate as the Blue Devils’ 2025 roster begins to take solid shape. Head coach Jon Scheyer has officially broken his silence, confirming that guards Tyrese Proctor and Caleb Foster will both be returning to Durham next season — a major boost for the program following recent uncertainty.
With rumors swirling and draft declarations dominating headlines, the return of Proctor and Foster brings much-needed clarity and momentum to Duke’s offseason plans. Both guards were considered key pieces of last season’s rotation and were heavily speculated to explore NBA opportunities.
However, their decision to stay with the Blue Devils signals their belief in Scheyer’s leadership and their desire to chase championship aspirations.
Tyrese Proctor, a 6-foot-5 floor general from Australia, is entering his third season with Duke. After a strong sophomore year where he showed improved scoring, playmaking, and leadership, Proctor is expected to be the team’s veteran anchor in the backcourt. His maturity and international experience give Duke a reliable presence to guide a talented but still developing roster.
“Tyrese’s return is huge for us,” Coach Scheyer said. “He’s grown so much as a player and as a leader. His commitment means a lot — not just to the team, but to the culture we’re continuing to build.”
Caleb Foster, meanwhile, is coming off a freshman season where flashes of brilliance were interrupted by injuries.
Now healthy and motivated, the former five-star recruit is poised for a breakout year. His scoring ability and defensive upside make him an ideal backcourt partner for Proctor.
“Caleb didn’t get to show everything last year,” Scheyer added. “But we’ve seen what he can do. He’s hungry, and he’s going to be a major piece of our puzzle.”
The double addition — or rather, double retention — has ignited excitement among the Blue Devil faithful. Social media buzzed with celebration as fans welcomed back two of their most promising guards.
With Proctor and Foster locked in, and more transfer portal and recruiting news expected soon, Duke’s 2025 squad is starting to take shape with confidence and continuity. While some roster changes are inevitable, the foundation now feels firmer — and the fan base is fired up for what’s next.
