To nobody’s surprise, ESPN college basketball writer Eamonn Brennan ranked the Duke Blue Devils number one in his preseason rankings. Most agree with him. Duke returns contributors Matt Jones, Luke Kennard, Amile Jefferson, and Chase Jeter. They also return a preseason Naismith Award frontrunner in Grayson Allen. Along with a very good group of returnees, head coach Mike Krzyzewski signed one of the best recruiting classes ever, reeling in top ranked forwards Jayson Tatum, Harry Giles, and Marques Bolden. Along the perimeter, Frank Jackson will be an explosive combo guard. Coach K’s group will be tested early in the season.
