Highlights

Incoming Class

Huge get for Duke. Tons of talent last year wasted due to the lack of a true point guard. Duke will be young again (Duval, Carter, Trent Jr) but this addition could make them formidable with Bolden and Allen coming back.

Dang. His highlights are impressive. He seems like he's got that aggressive mentality like Russ.

Duke is going to be nasty next year with an actual stud at point that can break down a defense

This is a ridiculous thing to say.

You're beginning with an illogical premise that the University admissions is deciding between an athlete and a regular student.

Are you suggesting that other schools' players are actually meeting the same requirements as regular students?

By the way, Duval is the #1 PG in that class. Where are you getting 2 from?

Duke will only be 6-7 deep next year but it's going to be a very good 6-7 players(assuming Bolden improves).

Duke fans wrote the EXACT same thing last year when Frank Jackson signed up...and two years ago when Derryck Thornton reclassified to sign on.

"Frank Jackson is expected to help Duke win a national championship. He is one of the most talented first-year guards in the country, a McDonald’s All-American whose ability eventually transcended his home state. His size (6' 3" and a stout 205 pounds) and his ability to push pace and defend 94 feet make him a vital asset to the loaded Blue Devils."

"And now Duke has their point guard for next season.
Derryck Thornton has reclassified and committed to play for the Blue Devils next season, multiple sources confirmed to NBCSports.com...He’s the missing piece for the Blue Devils."

You left off Tyus Jones, I wonder why.

Jackson wasn't a true PG, and Thornton was too weak for dribble penetration and belonged in a pick and roll offense.

Duval looks to be a much better fit than both.
