What If: Bill Bradley Had Stayed With Duke Instead Of Going To Princeton?

Vic Bubas recruited future college All-American Art Heyman in his first recruiting class. He recruited future college All-American Jeff Mullins in his second class. He recruited future college All-American Jack Marin in his fourth class. He recruited future college All-American Bob Verga in his fifth class. He recruited future college All-American Mike Lewis in the his sixth class.

What happened to that third class, the high-school class of 1961?

Well, it’s a funny story.

Or maybe not so funny.

There were no prep rankings in 1961. But had there been there’s little doubt that Bill Bradley would have been at or near the top.
