Believe kAzE was referencing Tre Jones, who this thread was initially about before my Langford post. I think Duke will gladly take both, though.
Oops - Just saw the comments above! I revived it because it says 2018 Recruiting and was the only 2018 recruiting thread I could find.
Thread title changed...
Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

So that's 3 offers for 2018: PF Marvin Bagley, PG Tre Jones, and SG Romeo Langford
At this point, it's incredibly hard to predict which players will stick around for more than a year or two, but the following players will be eligible, at least (excluding obvious one-and-done players):
Seniors: Jeter, Kennard, and Vrankovic
Juniors: DeLaurier, Jackson, and White
Sophomores: No idea
I am really hoping the coaches can get a commit from a good 2-4 year point guard in 2017. We'll probably target some less heralded (not top 10) post players in 2017-18 to replace Jeter and Vrankovic, too. In other news, Bagley has a perfect 1.000 rating from 247sports. He appears to be one of the best recruits to come along in a while, up there in the Jabari/Wiggins or better category. Here's hoping he picks Duke and that we can surround him with some experienced guys like Kennard, Jeter, and DeLaurier.
I really like Devon Dotson from Providence Day School in Charlotte (full disclosure: my former HS). He's a very good athlete, has above-average handles and plays under control. Plays a lot like the pre-injury D Rose - explosive, quick first step, excellent finisher around the rim. Offered by UNC, NC State, and Florida among others. He would be a great get as a 2-3 yr pg.

Take this for what it's worth, but I just talked to a very good recruiting guy today and he said (1) that Quade Green is looking like the best pure playmaker on the AAU circuit this spring and (2) Langford grew up a Duke fan
Don't make too much of either observation, but both are interesting to me ...
