6. Duke Blue Devils

The Blue Devils are bringing in top recruits every single season and 2017 will be no different. However, maybe they can find a few players who aren’t intent on tripping the next guy that beats them on a drive down the lane. Only kidding, but Duke will be very good again in 2017.

Here are Duke’s top 2017 recruits, according to 247 Sports:

  1. Wendell Carter: 5 Star, Power Forward
  2. Gary Trent Jr.: 5 Star, Shooting Guard
  3. Alex O’Connell: 4 Star, Shooting Guard

I don’t think it should surprise any of us that Coach K is bringing in two guys in Trent and O’Connell that can shoot the ball very well. Duke always has players that can get hot from three and put the game away.

Next: Louisville!
