It’s a nice thing to have a strong recruiting class obviously and both Duke and Kentucky are, as they so often have lately, in contention for the top class.
It seems a lot more important for Big Blue Nation than it does around Planet Duke though.
Over at Kentucky.com, the writers are regularly fretting that Duke might put together a better class than John Calipari does for the Wildcats, a fear that has intensified since Dereck Lively committed to Duke which pushed Duke’s class up to #1.
And while both classes are promising, rating classes based on high school performance is almost always silly because can't-miss guys are a great rarity.
