How Duke basketball staff should respond to recruiting loss

DeMatha Catholic (Md.) four-star center Hunter Dickinson announced via tweet on Friday his decision to gift Michigan with his 7-foot-2, 260-pound frame, leaving the Duke basketball coaches with no more unanswered 2020 offers (Florida State and Notre Dame were the towering lefty's other two finalists).

Though Dickinson's choice came as no surprise, with current Duke freshman Vernon Carey Jr. likely to turn pro after this season and senior Javin DeLaurier graduating, the fact remains that the roster outlook in Durham for next season includes only one true center: IMG Academy (Fla.) four-star Mark Williams.
