Kansas and Vandy have some pretty good looking classes.

 

[Showenuff]

Wow, both teams look dangerous, may a good one.

Gosh the past few years have pretty much been unwatchable due to announcers such as Jwill and Jalen Rose

Since the McDonald’s All American game started in 1977 and through the 2016 game Duke has 68 McDonald’s All Americans (69 if you count Shaun Livingston). So adding 3 more from the 2017 game and 3 more from this year’s game, Duke has had 74 or 75 total McDonald’s All Americans and all but 2 of those have been since Coach K has been at Duke.

We are still way behind UNC in terms of seasons played by McD All Americans... theirs seem to stick around for that sweet education.

RJ is a complete stud offensively and I really like how he clamps down defensively.

Tre is more athletic and explosive than Tyus (not the shooter Tyus is) but will bring the same demeanor as a PG.

Cam to me is hard to figure out. Has all the skills and ability but isn't always vested in playing hard.

Watching over the weekend, Cam looks bigger than before as in taller

Congrats to them. Hope they put on a show!

We don't count Livingston, but we do count Marshall!

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

We don't count Livingston, but we do count Marshall!

Yeah Marshall was included in the 74 total

What in the world are you trying to get at here?

Oh, I just learned a so-called alt-narrative on Marshall recently, where he was actually a nobody who had a respectable senior year b/c K didn't hold him back or some such blather.

Yeah I was a little surprised too. I knew we had a lot of McDonald’s All Americans but I didn’t realize that we’d had that many.

Lol, alright well I hadn't heard that story yet.
I can certainly understand people not counting Livingston and Marshall definitely did not live up to McDonald's All-American "hype"

Just saw a post on Facebook about RJ Barrett, Cameron Reddish and Tre Jones being McDonald’s All Americans this year and it said that brings Duke’s total number of McDonald’s All Americans to 75
