Sources close to the situation have confirmed that the Blue Devils are now considered the clear favorites to land the highly coveted prospect, who recently decommitted from another powerhouse program. The player, known for his explosive scoring, court vision, and leadership, has quickly become one of the most sought-after recruits in the nation and Duke appears to be in the driver’s seat.
The news comes just days after reports surfaced that Duke’s coaching staff, led by Jon Scheyer, made a strong final impression during an in-home visit. Scheyer’s pitch centered on the school’s tradition of developing elite guards for the NBA, from Kyrie Irving and Jay Williams to recent stars like Tyus Jones and Tre Jones. That track record, combined with Duke’s continued presence on the national stage, has clearly resonated with the young star and his family.
Recruiting analysts note that the Blue Devils’ NIL infrastructure, strong player development, and brand exposure have given them a significant edge. The guard’s recent social media activity has also fueled speculation, as he began following several current Duke players and assistant coaches, further hinting that a commitment could be imminent.
If Duke secures the commitment, it would mark another major win for Scheyer, who continues to prove that the program remains as powerful on the recruiting trail as it was under Mike Krzyzewski. This potential addition would bolster a 2025 recruiting class already loaded with talent and would give Duke one of the most dynamic backcourts in college basketball.
