No surprise--Duke announces Amile Jefferson will seed a medical redshirt. Jefferson badly wanted to play but didn't heal fast enough.

Duke is hoping to get a medical redshirt for Jefferson since he only played in nine games and is a senior right now. The redshirt would give him a fifth year of eligibility and would bolster Duke's bench if the staff can't nab Marques Bolden in recruiting.
