"Hey Marques, it's your boy D-Fox. Man, I know your decision is coming up pretty soon, but we already know Kentucky's the best spot for you. You're trying to live out your dreams, you're already know we have the best coaching staff in the country to prepare you for the next level.
Bam [Adebayo], Malik [Monk], Sacha [Killeya-Jones], Wenyen [Gabriel], Brad [Calipari], and I all want you to join this great freshman class that we're about to have next year. I don't have to tell you how much Big Blue Nation wants you. So, hey, it's your decision, but you already know what the right one is."
Meanwhile, Duke signee Jayson Tatum delivered his pitch in what seems to be a dark car in the middle of the night, urging Bolden to come be the "last piece" and touting the number of players Duke has coming back:
