Hike. That’s Dukes #1 recruiting class for the 3rd straight year. Yes I know they didn’t win it but it’s still sickening to me.

A continuation from an earlier post from this year. All new information is in bold.

The one-and-one guys are rarely key players in great teams and this year is the exception rather than the rule.

Here's a list of one-and-done players from Final Four teams:

2019: Zion, RJ, Reddish (Duke)
2018: Omari Spellman (Nova)
2017: Tony Bradley (UNC), Zach Collins (Gonzaga)
2016: Malachi Richardson (Cuse)
2015: Karl Anthony-Towns, Trey Lyles, Devin Booker (Kentucky), Jahil Okafor, Justise Winslow, Tyus Jones (Duke).
2014: Julius Randle, James Young (Kentucky)
2013: none
2012: Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marquis Teague (Kentucky).

As it turns out, over the last seven year, if one-and-done players are on Final Four teams, 14 out of 18 times (78%) they're from Duke or Kentucky.

umm.. Duke didnt go to the final four this year.

You are missing Josh Jackson, Kansas 2018. Ben McClemore was also technically a freshman for KU in 2012.

The way some people talk, they will equate the incoming class to Storrs on that level
K and Duke is in a different recruiting stratosphere than anyone but a handful of teams and they are on top of the pile - right now
I'll be happy with a decent BIG and say that the incoming class is very decent in relation to the unrealistic expectations of some
Better be a lot better news about the next group coming 2020-21 but we have lots of time for that to be seen
October can't come quick enough for me!

What would really be interesting is seeing the total payroll represented by those numbers.

That’s right we are not greedy but we need a BIG and he doesn’t need to be top 50.

Ew. Their worst class since 2015.

These guys get paid to do this for a living and thought Reddish was better than Zion. No wonder they aren't actually working for basketball teams.

Well this should help you get sicker. This is so disgusting on several levels.

So do they send thank you cards to Nike for each one or just wait and send a Christmas card?
