Duke Moves Past Kentucky for the No. 1 Class in 2020

Entering Friday, Kentucky held the No. 1 class in the 2020 247 Sports class rankings. That changed when the Blue Devils picked up another commitment, moving Duke past Kentucky for the No. 1 class in 2020.

Four-star power forward Jaemyn Brakefield picked up an offer from Duke on Thursday and announced his commitment to the Blue Devils a day later.

Duke now has 69.93 points while Kentucky has 69.13. Duke has an advantage in numbers with five players committed. Kentucky only has four commitments for the 2020 class. That could change before the calendar turns to November.
