As interest in him as been mild, Shavlik Randolph expects to return to Duke for his senior season.

``My intentions are to come back to Duke because I think we'll have a chance to do something special next year,'' Randolph said Monday. ``I don't want to rule out any options, but that's been my intention all along.

``When I am not working out, I am back in Raleigh and back in Durham and still in communication with all the coaches and players.''

Randolph said he'll likely wait until the June 20 deadline to make a final decision about staying in the NBA draft or going back to school.
