The numbers for all six players:

  • Trevon Duval: No. 1
  • Gary Trent Jr: No. 2
  • Jordan Tucker: No. 5
  • Jordan Goldwire: No. 14
  • Alex O’Connell: No. 15
  • Wendell Carter: No. 34

Among those six players are the seeds of what Duke hopes will be a prosperous, National Championship caliber future. Three of them, Duval, Trent, and Carter, are bonafide stars in the making and five-star recruits.
O’Connell and Tucker are both four star recruits. Goldwire was rated as a three-star recruit out of Norcross, Georgia.
The Blue Devils are looking for a deeper tournament run than what they had last year. They were bounced int he second round, ending a season that was ripe with controversy and disappointment. With the class they have joining the team this fall, they appear to be in much better shape.
