Duke is getting a lot of goodwill from this years' class (22/23) where they have 3 top 5 players and another top 10-15 (Mitchell), compared to their 23/24 class. The 22/23 class for them is similar to our 13/14 class with the Harrisons and Randle or their Zion class, ranking-wise at least.
In the 23/24 class, they have five 5-stars, but one is ranked 2nd, the rest are ranked 14, 17, 19, and 26. That's more comparable to our 18/19 class (Hagans, Montgomery, Herro, Johnson, Quickley)
2 MgBako - 9 Montgomery
14 Foster - 10 Hagans
17 Proctor - 13 Johnson
19 Stewart - 22 Quickley
26 McCain - 37 Herro
There are a lot of top unsigned 23/24 guys that we are recruiting hard. At the same time, we are getting a lot of guys back now like Collins, Toppin, Fredrick, Reeves, etc. while Duke is losing 5-7 rotation players a year and will certainly lose most of their 22/23 team as well.
