Top hoops recruits Okafor and Jones commit to Duke

Jahlil Okafor and Tyus Jones are both headed to play for Mike Krzyzewski and Duke. They chose the Blue Devils over Kansas and Baylor.

Okafor, a 6-foot-11 center from Whitney Young (Ill.), is ranked No. 1 in the 247Sports Composite. He is an absolutely dominant force on the inside, and is the best back-to-the-basket player to come across the high school landscape in a very long time.

Meanwhile, Jones is a 6-foot-1 point guard from Apple Valley (Minn.) who is ranked No. 5 in the 247Sports Composite. It became clear a couple of years ago that he would be the best pure point guard in the country, given his high-level basketball IQ and ability to run an offense and control tempo.
