The Duke basketball staff will host a couple of premier 2026 prospects on the same weekend.
Within the span of a week in late July, Compass Prep forward Miikka Muurinen added offers from Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and two other bluebloods in UNC and Kentucky. That nugget alone suggests the 6-foot-10, 185-pound Finnish four-star remains considerably underrated at No. 68 overall on the 247Sports 2026 Composite.On Sunday, Muurinen told HS Top Recruits that he has scheduled three visits in his recruitment: to Utah beginning on Sept. 7, Kentucky on Sept. 14, and Duke on Sept.
Speaking of Jordan Smith Jr., a teammate last season to a pair of current Duke basketball freshmen in guard Darren Harris and center Patrick Ngongba II, he's also locked in a visit with the Blue Devils for the last weekend of September.Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of Duke Blue Devils on SI, North Carolina Tar Heels on SI, and NC State Wolfpack on SI, making him a key source for comprehensive coverage of these storied college basketball programs.
