We weren't a top 5 team in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 or 2017, so saying that it's a top 5 team if we just add 2 OADs to go along with Tre Jones doesn't seem reasonable to me. Duke has finished top 5 on Kenpom once in the past 6 seasons. The current coaching staff requires an outlandish talent advantage to put out a top 5 team.
I think we need at least 4 OADs to go with Tre Jones in that class to even be competitive with a middle seed in the NCAAT (Duke 2017 was not good enough to compete with a 7-seed). We will likely get something like 4 OADs and 2 other freshmen in the top 100, which should be good enough to be a top 10 team all season.
