Two of this year’s 24 McDonald’s All-Americans are Duke basketball commits. Two others remain targets; if both become Blue Devils, the total of four would be the most of any program this year while also tying four previous Duke classes — 1999, 2002, 2014, 2018 — for the program record.
Speaking of records, from the honor’s 1977 inception until the present day, Duke’s 77 commits who have been McDonald’s All-Americans represent the most of any program and account for nearly 10 percent of the all-time honorees. Also, Duke owns another McDonald’s All-American distinction by having at least one for each of the past 35 years.
