Five of the 12 players on the USA Basketball U17 National Team are also on the 2025 Duke basketball recruiting wishlist.
Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer has extended 11 offers to 2026 recruits. He appears to remain in contention for 10 of them. And of those, half landed on the 12-deep USA Basketball U17 National Team set to begin competing at the FIBA U17 World Cup in Istanbul later this week.
Except for Dybantsa, who received his offer from Scheyer in early May, they've all been at or near the center of the Duke basketball recruiting radar for 10 months or more. Looking to add to Team USA's prowess at the FIBA U17 World Cup — all six gold medals since the international event's inception in 2010 and an all-time 44-0 record in tournament games — Dybantsa, Peat, Haralson, the Boozer brothers, and their teammates tip off their quest against France in Group B play at 10:30 a.m. ET Saturday.Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of FanNation's Blue Devil Country and All Tar Heels, covering the Duke Blue Devils and UNC Tar Heels on SI.com.
