There was something on CBS Sports saying he may redshirt next year.

Quote:

Duke released a statement last night regarding guard Andre Dawkins after rumors were running rampant about his future in Durham. "Andre Dawkins remains a member of the Duke basketball program. There is a possibility of him redshirting next season, but no decision will be made on that until the fall." Dawkins' father, Andre Sr. told Stephen Wiseman of the Durham Herald-Sun that his son is still dealing with the after-affects of his sister's death. Lacey Dawkins, then 21, was killed in a car crash on her way to see Dawkins play at Duke in 2009. "He's dealt with a lot. It's been tough. It hasn't been easy at all," Dawkins' father told the Raleigh News & Observer. "With the fast pace of playing high-level basketball you don't really get time to deal with things like that." Dawkins joined Duke a year earlier than expected in 2009 -- and has been a role player each of his three seasons in Durham. He averaged 8.4 points this past season in 22.4 minutes and shot 39 percent from beyond the arc.

Xavier finally made it official today. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bask...-return-school

Arizona, Kentucky, Kansas, and Syracuse are supposedly on his list of destinations. I personally think he'll end up at Arizona and play for Sean Miller again.

Is Lyons able to play next year?
I don't want him on UK, but I think he could help some of their three point shooting problems.

Yes, he is. He's graduating in a few weeks. He'll be able to take advantage of that rule.

Rayvonte Rice 6'4 G from Drake is transferring to Illinois, he'll sit out this year and have 2 years of eligibility remaining.

He's from Champaign so he'll be playing for his hometown school, hopefully he can work on his outside shot during his year off. He's a good defender and rebounder, gets to the basket and to the FT line, if he can develop a 3 point shot should be pretty dangerous, even if he doesn't he fits coach Groce's system and brings a lot of things to the table the team needs.

16.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game last season at Drake.

Hell of a 3 point shooter.

But he's not nearly as skilled as he thinks so he often tries to do too much. If your coach can get him to accept a role on the team he'll be a nice asset. Just don't let him put the ball on the floor or lead fast breaks.

It should also be noted that some of his best games came against ACC opponents. So he's got that going for him too.
