Duke basketball staff bags top recruits with bags of family promises

Go ahead, haters, check the math: from the 1986 season to the present, the Duke basketball program leads all others in national championships (five; UNC ranks second with four), final fours (12; UNC ranks second with 11), and weeks at No. 1 in the AP Poll (124; Kansas ranks second with 59).

The gold standard. The envy of all others whether they admit or not.

One would think haters would grasp why five-star recruits continue flocking — particularly across the second half of this decade — to what is the greatest modern college basketball program.
