Dylan Harper, the No. 19 overall prospect in the 2024 class according to On3, has received an offer from Duke.

Harper, a 6-foot-5 prospect out of Ramsey (N.J.) Don Bosco Prep is also ranked as the No. 1 combo guard in the class.

“When I got it, I was happy,” Harper said in an exclusive interview with On3. “(Jon Scheyer) FaceTimed me and everything. It was a dream come true. Every kid dreams of getting an offer from a school like Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, and schools like that. So when I got it, I was just happy, really.

“(Duke) is a great program. A lot of Jersey people go there and you see they’re all in the League now. It would be a blessing if I could do the same thing.”

2024 five-star Naas Cunningham, a fellow New Jersey native, has already begun conversations about the possibility of teaming up in college with Harper. Cunningham also holds an offer from Duke.

“That would be crazy,” Harper said when asked what it would be like if the two become college teammates. “Next year, we will play together for NY Rens 17U. We winning it all too. Our connection off the court is really going to carry onto the court as well.”
