The experts who in their 2018 class rankings inexpertly placed below No. 1 the extraterrestrial who became the Duke basketball program’s all-time taker-away of breath are the same folks acting a fool again by keeping Cassius Stanley outside the top 10 in the 2019 class.
Likewise, many of these talent evaluators for the major recruiting sites, who regularly chime in with opinions on the college game, will be among those who will refuse to put the Blue Devils at No. 1 in their personal preseason polls come fall.
They will not be alone.
Most likely, no major publication will put out a top 25 with Duke at the top.
