Duke Extends Scholarship Offer to Class of 2016’s #1 Center Recruit Marques Bolden

After reloading to replace four members of the 2015 NCAA National Championship team by bringing in the #1 recruiting class for the 2nd straight year, head coach Mike Krzyzewski and the Duke coaching staff aren’t slowing down at all on recruiting as the Blue Devils recently offered a scholarship to class of 2016 top-ranked big man Marques Bolden.

Marques Bolden is a 5-star center prospect out of DeSoto High School in DeSoto, Texas, the same high school as current Blue Devil Matt Jones. Bolden is a 6-9, 230 pound prospect who, similar to Jahlil Okafor, is a dominant post player with great hands and strength, and can score in a variety of ways in the post or make plays for others.
