"He is a top-five talent and player all-time at Duke, likely top-two," said a player who helped the Blue Devils win the 2010 national championship. "All-time starting five? I would probably say Flagg is the sixth man [because he lacks the team achievements]. If I had to pick a top five, however, it would be hard to keep him out."

Despite losing so many talented players, Duke has had a whale of a recruiting offseason. It has gotten commitments from five-star prospects Cameron Boozer and Dame Sarr, as well as Cayden Boozer, who is also a five-star recruit out of Miami.
