2020 Recruiting
- Thread starter boaja1
- Start date
Commitment predictions:
Coleman, Steward, Kessler, M. Williams, Kuminga (reclass)
With Roach and Johnson, would be a monster class.

Paolo Banchero possibly as a reclass also, but it might be hard to sway him from Washington, and there is the possibility of Ziaire Williams also, although I’m still not sure how likely it is he ends up at Duke.
Paolo said like last month that he thought about it but he decided not to reclass.
And Duval said he was working on his jumpshot...
Just don’t see us taking 4 guys who play PF and Center unless one of them isn’t Blanchero. More likely to see us take Kuminga, Blanchero, Coleman and either Williams or Kessler.
I don’t see both kuminga and Banchero reclassifying. As of now i don’t see either leaving early. Kuminga is more likely of the two imo and i think we would be the front runner for him
Think Banchero goes early for sure if he can go where he wants to regarding Duke, UK or UW. I have only seen the Kuminga info leaving for the 2020 class on here vs Banchero reclassifying on multiple sites.
Yea he’s staying in his respected class, but I think Kuminga is a great possibility of a reclass!
Sweetttt. I was worried he was leaving toward UL with some of the articles i read but Daniels knows best
Just keep Matt Giles off of twitter and we have a shot.
Interesting, that Duke's answer to Roy visiting Zaire is to send Scheyer. Speaks volumes.
I thought that too. Scheyer isn’t too shabby, but I agree with ya!
I don't know if Scheyer's presence means Coach K doesn't think he's getting Zaire, or if Scheyer has the best relationship with the young man. I just find it very interesting.
Man I hope Duke sneaks in and steals Ziaire away from the heels! lol I love seeing Roy fail with these recruits!
Other than being a bit short for his listed position, Coleman looks very good.
He will be a solid addition.
He will be a solid addition.
DJ is a great get. He's up to number 7 in Street and Smith's preview, so he prob. won't be at Duke very long as some are predicting. Welcome to Duke!
S&S hasn’t been insanely accurate on their recruiting takes lately.
Look, I think the kid is awesome. The stuff that makes him “college ready” from the start, will also keep him as a non-factor on draft boards.
- He’s 6’3, probably 6’1 or 6’2, meaning he doesn’t have a learning curve with his body, but also means his size and length aren’t elite. Great for college, not the draft. It also means as a first year guy, he won’t be THE showcase.
- His best skill, shooting, is only a coveted, lone NBA skill if you’re 6’8 and above. You have to have some other skill set if you’re below the league’s invisible Michael Jordan line (6’6).
- He still has some work to do at the college level yet, to sharpen his tools. By this I mean, it’s absolutely not out of the realm of possibility to see him have a 20 point game here or there as a freshman or soph (AOC has done that), but don’t expect it every night.
I type this only because I want our fans to be patient with a dude who is going to be awesome, but eventually. The same stuff we wanted for Boogie Ellis, we’re getting here, but quite honestly, probably better, so thank you, Boogie.
They both are absolute STUDS on the wings!! Agreed that Clarke is better.. Read article where Jerry Meyer said he is in the top 5 shooting guards that he has scouted over the past 30 years at this point in his career! Corey Evans & Dan McDonald from Rivals, both agreed that Clarke is a top 5 player in ALL of HS, REGARDLESS of class, and Mcdonald went as far as to say that has the 2nd most potential in the country behind only Emoni Bates!! Boston with added strength, along with Clarke, is 2 wings that are my style of players. They can absolutely score at all 3 levels. They have the handles at 6'6"-6'7" that if needed, they both can be the primary ball-handler in any situations that arise and were forced too.. Both are just so long, just crazy length and athleticism with Clark's athleticism being little bit more explosive, but Boston probably being more consistent outside shooter. Although people will make a big deal out of his outside shooting numbers dipping during one of the AAU runs. But anybody that knows basketball can watch the kid shoot and tell that he has a natural jumper and once he gets seasoned in college and learns what a good shot is, and shoots while in the flow, he is going to be deadly from outside. The BAD PART, is they now form the deadliest Wing Duo headed into the 2020 class, and they are headed to Kentucky.
(If we didn't, THAT WAS STUPID!! Unless K knew he was UK bound. Bc I don't want to hear ANY BS about this kids game!! That maybe he seen this or that!! Bc Clarke is an absolute STUD!! When Jerry Meyer says he is in his top 5 of best High School prospects at the SG position that he has ever scouted in his 30yrs! Most Scouts all agree that he is a top 5 player regardless of class! So if we didn't extend an offer, I just don't understand that at all! It had to be the knowledge that he was all in with Kentucky. If it's not that, then that makes absolutely no logical sense.
But, Coby White was really good! We played Tre Jones at PG, absolutely out of necessity, AND HE WAS GOOD!! Lol When ur at top programs like these 2, the turnover in the roster yearly, forces the hand of playing Fr. with plenty stars beside their name out of necessity.. Well Duke & UK much more than UNC & KU..

They would have absolutely had ZERO issue with Clarke showing up! Lol His AAU Coach says we absolutely offered him. I would like to think that is true!!
