Maggette, Luol, Kyrie, Rivers, and Jabari are the one and dones from Duke. Unfortunately, Okafor will probably join the list after this year.

Uhh OK? They've only won 4 EVER.

I swear people build Duke up in their heads and it just doesn't match reality at all.

The guy is surprised Duke has only won one NC since 2010. They've only won 4 in their entire history. I'm not sure what needs to be expounded upon.

People do forget that during/after the Paulus era that dukes recruiting had slacked off a bit. They had a bad stigma on the aau circuit and elite guys were spurning duke. Singler was the only top 5/10 player they got for a few years. Then USA and Kyrie Irving happened and duke gets as many elite players as any program besides Kentucky.

And you can see the effect it has had on UNC. They were pretty damn dominant while Duke's recruiting was Tubby Smith era Kentucky like. Now Duke has been pulling in top 3 classes and UNC has been pretty meh.

UNC has been pulling in quality recruits. Some haven't lived up to it (McAdoo), others were good but didnt pan out for other reasons (Hairston), others were good, but just didnt win a ring (Barnes, Henson).

False. They have won zero since 2010. They have only won one since 2001. And one since he became head coach of Team USA in 2005.

They won a championship in 2010. That was the guy's point.
