5-star C Marques Bolden joins Duke's impressive 2016 recruiting class
An already impressive Duke recruiting class got even better Thursday, as five-star center Marques Bolden committed to the Blue Devils.
The 6-foot-10, 240-pound Texan is the nation's No. 2 center and ranked the 16th overall recruit on the ESPN 100. He had narrowed his choices to Kentucky or Duke before ultimately choosing to join Mike Krzyzewski's squad .
Bolden's addition to an already stacked list of commitments certainly makes Duke one of the favorites for the NCAA title next season. With his decision, Krzyzewski has now secured commitments from four of the nation's top 16 recruits in Harry Giles (No. 1), Jayson Tatum (No. 3), and Frank Jackson (No. 10).
