Duke basketball: Sizing up the 10 finalists for five-star big man

One look at the 2020-21 Duke basketball roster says Mike Krzyzewski needs to haul in one post presence for the season after next. Patrick Tape, a 6-foot-10 grad transfer, will have expired his eligibility. Plus, there's no guarantee that incoming 7-footer Mark Williams will stay two years.

So it makes sense the staff in Durham has been steadily pursuing five-star Charles Bediako ever since extending an offer to the 6-foot-11, 220-pound center in December. What is peculiar, however, is the Blue Devils have not officially entered the race for any other 2021 recruits at his position — not even some three-star.
