The Fab Four?

Monday night had one of the most riveting national championships in recent memory. It was the first time a national championship game has been tied at half since 1988. That kind of drama is only superseded by the recruiting class that played way beyond their years. It starts with the man who was the consensus #1 recruit out of high school, Jahlil Okafor. for the majority of the season he was beyond dominant, and into the tournament showed the world why he should be the first player selected in the NBA draft in a few months. After the big fella comes Tyus Jones, the point guard, who always seems to play his best basketball when the lights are the brightest. Then it is Justise Winslow the do it all forward, who put up points in bunches, and gobbled up rebounds on the way to the final dance. There was a forgotten member of this class, the first one to sign with Duke, when he was still a kid, Grayson Allen. He played sparingly throughout the season, and got even fewer opportunities once the tournament came around. He saved his best performance for last. At a crucial point in the second half with his team down by 9. This freshman scored 8 unanswered points to bring the Blue Devils back within striking distance, and gave them the chance that they had thought they had lost. 60 out of Duke’s 68 point came from these four players, these four freshman did more than anyone though possible, and made their team the stuff of legends.
