Great news just keeps rolling on in for the Duke basketball program.

The Blue Devils won the 2015 NCAA Tournament in a thriller over Wisconsin, and Coach K sent one-and-dines Jahlil Okafor, Justise Winslow and Tyus Jones to the NBA Draft. All of them were first round picks.

But it didn't stop there for Coach K. Duke continues to win on the recruiting trail, as well, as they secured a commitment from 2016 five-star forward Jayson Tatum yesterday. Tatum is the No. 2 overall prospect in the ESPN 100 rankings.

Duke has signed several five-star recruits in recent years, including Okafor, Jones, Winslow, Jabari Parker and Brandon Ingram. Tatum figures to be next in the line of Blue Devil superstars.
