No. 1 Duke (6 Commits)

After basically being named the “best team ever” ahead of this past season, they imploded and were handed a second-round exit in the NCAA tournament.

Yet again they bring in another extremely talented recruiting class, but will they be able to mesh?

Only time will tell, but lets pump the breaks on naming this team “the best ever”.

With what should be a loaded bench, full of talent, it’ll be interesting to see just how Coach K uses it.

2017 Commits:

  • Trevon Duval (Bradenton, FL): 6-3, 190 lbs, PG, Rank – 5
  • Wendell Carter (Atlanta, GA): 6-10, 262 lbs, PF, Rank – 6
  • Gary Trent Jr (Napa, CA): 6-5, 213 lbs, SG, Rank – 16
  • Jordan Tucker (Marietta, GA): 6-7, 205 lbs, SF, Rank – 61
  • Alex O’Connell (Alpharetta, GA): 6-5, 170 lbs, SG, Rank – 68
  • Jordan Goldwire (Norcross, GA): 6-2, 170 lbs, CG, Rank – NR

With two late signees in Trevon Duval and Jordan Tucker, the Blue Devils were able solidify what was already a very good class.

It lies on the shoulders of senior Grayson Allen.

With what has been a rocky career up to this point, will he be the leader that some thought he could be last year, or will he trip over his own feet in the process?
