This may be a smaller-than-normal high school class for Jon Scheyer and Duke. With the five-in-five rule in place and with Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje on a two-year plan in Durham, Duke has set aside a good chunk of its budget for next season’s roster on retention.
Right now, Duke has a commitment from 5-star Kager Knueppel in the 2027 recruiting class, but it’s been slow-moving outside of that. The Blue Devils have been connected with plenty of others, but haven’t made a significant push for anyone in particular.
Until now…
