Here’s a great question: who are the Top Five recruits in Duke history? You really have to think about it but we think you can make great arguments for these five.
- Art Heyman
- Gene Banks
- Johnny Dawkins
- Christian Laettner
- Zion Williamson
Art Heyman was the first great recruit of the Vic Bubas era. Famously, his stepfather didn’t like Frank McGuire and persuaded Heyman to choose Duke instead - though Heyman said that if Duke hadn’t shown up at RDU airport, he would have just gone to UNC.
