Would be a hard pull to bring in the top two PFs in the nation in the 2021 class into a pretty deep returning front court.
The thing about those 2 power forwards is that they both can shoot and handle the ball, so the wouldn't be likely to get in each others way. And, Banchero is big enough to handle the 5, which wouldn't even be a small frontcourt with him, Baldwin, and Griffin.
Rumor on another board that Christie may commit to Michigan State over the weekend.
Take it for what it's worth.

Guess Christie prefers to be grabbed, shoved and yelled at from an inch away.
Still like Keels more...dude is a 6’5 220 Bully 2Guard.
I also see DJ around and maybe even Roach as sophomores.
Duke will be fine at the 1 and 2 next season.

He didn't even have Duke in his final five. Maybe recruits think Roach/Steward will come back? Unless Moore really struggles I would have to think he's gone.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens. Does Steward come back? Same with Roach. Do we get Keels? Houstan, who we assume will reclass. I’m not really worried about it, but nice pickup for MSU.
It's always nice to grab the sure thing early. But I still think this ends up working out in Duke's favor. I'd rather have a sophomore Steward, Keels, or a reclassed Houstan than Christie. And that's not sour grapes, that's just going by rankings and film. So we still got 3 great options. One or more will happen.
I agree with that too. Sounds like sour grapes but I’ve felt this way for a while. Especially since i saw Keels play back in the winter. Then since seeing Houstan’s tapes I’m not sure which i want more of those two. Then you have DJ possibly staying. So yeah, I’m ok with it.
MC actually said he wants his coach to be demanding, that he needs it to improve, which is why he felt comfortable with Izzo.
He’s a solid shooter. Wouldn’t say Christie level but he’s good. Imo he’s a better slasher than Christie. Not super athletic but he’s got a bigger frame and is better suited to drive and finish through contact. I’d lean to more of a shooter but he’s capable of driving.
Christie is a better shooter, Keels is a better all-around scorer/defender.
I'd consider Christie to be a lot like Andre Dawkins, super elite shooter but not much else, fits great if he's playing around other studs. But if freshman Christie is your 1st or 2nd option, you're probably screwed.
Keels can shoot, but not like Christie. Keels is MUCH stronger though and can attack the rim and finish, he also projects as a much better defender. I don't have a great Duke Keels comparison, maybe a stronger/thicker Rasheed Sulaimon??
