Duke might have lost potential No. 1 pick Brandon Ingram to the NBA but the Blue Devils are going to be just fine. Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski is proving he can navigate the new recruiting environment with the best of them, and the incoming freshman class could be the school’s best ever.

Prior to Thursday, Duke already boasted three five-star recruits in its 2016 class: Power forward Harry Giles (No. 1 overall), small forward Jayson Tatum (No. 3 overall), and point guard Frank Jackson (No. 10 overall). The Blue Devils also had four-star Javin DeLaurier (No. 44 overall) and Australian Jack White in the fold as well. Just when you thought Coach K was done, the program received a commitment from yet another five-star recruit Thursday afternoon — Center Marques Bolden (No. 16 overall).
