It won't take Blue Devils fans long to shake off this college basketball recruiting defeat, as Coach K has a loaded class coming in this year and already has received a verbal from Rasheed Sulaimon, another shooting guard in the 2012 class who is ranked even higher than Graham, according to ESPN.com.
