    Jon Scheyer has a chance to close the deal for Duke on 5-star Asa Montgomery during visit (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    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

    One overlooked Duke freshman could become a critical piece for Jon Scheyer (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When discussing Jon Scheyer's elite freshman class, the hype starts with 17-year-old big man Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje. If not him, then you typically hear about Deron Rippey Jr. and Cameron Williams. That trio wasn't the only 5-stars Scheyer signed in the 2026 class, though. Bryson Howard was a 5-star in this cycle, too, ranked as the No. 23 overall player in the composite. He's also the son of former NBA player Josh Howard. And yet, somehow, Howard has been completely overlooked heading into his

    Paolo Banchero's Duke revelation grabs the attention of Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje, Cameron Williams (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    If you come to Duke, you're embracing development. For both Cameron Williams and Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje, that's certainly the case. The 5-star forwards could have gone anywhere. Many other programs may have offered quicker paths to significant roles and playing time. That never comes easy at Duke. But the grind and the journey will be worth it. Because when they leave Durham to make their NBA leaps, whenever that may be, they'll be better for it. The competition they face every day in practice

    Duke creeps closer to the AP Top 25 but remains on the outside looking in despite 4-0 start (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Duke fans will have to wait at least another week to see the Blue Devils in the AP Top 25. After a dominant 62-7 win over William & Mary, Duke remained on the outside looking in this week, though they did take a substantial step forward. After being ninth in the "others receiving votes" section of the AP Poll last week, Duke is now 2nd, which places them at No. 27 in the country with 101 points. That's one point behind Wisconsin, the only unranked team ahead of the Blue Devils, and 17 points beh

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The regular season is now one-third of the way through, and Duke couldn't be in a better spot. The Blue Devils are now 4-0 after Saturday afternoon's 62-7 thumping of William & Mary. It was the last tune-up for Duke this year. The final eight games of the regular season are against ACC opponents. Duke is positioned to get back to Charlotte for the ACC Championship Game with the way they are playing. With a bye week on deck, let's examine the biggest winners and losers from the 55-point shellacki
