In hindsight, 2020 may have been the perfect recruiting cycle for the Duke basketball five-star magnets to attract only one prospect inside the top 20 on the 247Sports Composite. Also, maybe it's a blessing that said prospect, small forward Jalen Johnson, fell from No. 3 in April 2019 to No. 11 at last check — falling outside the main spotlight in the process — after sitting out most of his senior campaign for murky reasons.
But Mike Krzyzewski and his staff in Durham must recognize that 2021 may bring an explosion to the number of players who help turn the one-and-done era back into the good ole none-and-done days.
