The one and dones like Zion Williamson and Justise Winslow.  Most of them were nowhere near up-to-snuff academically compared the the players who stayed for 2 or more years.  The classic joke down this way was that when Duke played North Carolina Central it was an intrasquad game for NCCU because of how dependent the Duke OADs were on the course they took there to stay eligible.  Full time status is 12 credits.  The OADs would take 9 credits of gut courses at Duke plus 3 credits at NCCU under the consortium agreement between Duke, NCCU, and UNC;, pass those (so now they're eligible to play in the spring); sign up for the same assortment of courses in the spring semeste;, and then not go to class (because they didn't have to).

What I think will happen in the future is that some players who would have been prime recruits under K won't be approached by Scheyer.  They won't turn Duke down and Duke won't visibly turn them down.  They simply won't be recruited by Scheyer.  The excuse of "We're such a young team" will go away because more of their players will be around for 3 or 4 years.
