Kentucky have been going at each other for the past few recruiting cycles and the competition has led to some pretty incredible classes for both schools. In fact, since the 2014 recruiting cycle, the two have been the top two recruiters in some order with Duke No. 1 in even years while Kentucky is the top school this year and in those odd years.

If that wasn't incredible enough, Duke landing five-star point guard Trevon Duval actually put them ahead of Kentucky in one regard when it comes to recruiting.
Trevon Duval (Class of 2017 #1 PG, #5 overall) commits to Duke. Duke has 11 top-5 commits in ESPN 100 era (since 2007), most of any school.

Kentucky still has more five-star recruits over that time, but Coach K's ability to nab the cream of the crop despite everyone saying his advanced age has slowed him down and being too "old-school" for not liking the "one-and-done" era says a lot about how he has evolved with the game. Now if only we could get these guys to play each other every year.
