Duke Basketball: Blue Devils likely to host much-needed 2020 center

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the Duke basketball program must get busy landing 2020 centers in order to compensate for the assumption no returning bigs are currently on tap for the 2020-21 season.

Javin DeLaurier, Jack White, and Justin Robinson will run out of eligibility after next season. And incoming freshmen Vernon Carey Jr. and Matthew Hurt will likely bolt for the NBA after next season.

So a commitment from four-star Mark Williams is vital — even more so if five-star Walker Kessler, the only other big man currently holding a Duke offer, opts to go elsewhere.
