Duke basketball is by no means the only powerhouse with an empty recruiting class.
By this juncture in each of Jon Scheyer's first three recruiting cycles as head coach, his Duke basketball staff had already set the foundation for a top-shelf haul via at least a couple of prized pledges.Only one prospect sitting among the top 20 on the 247Sports 2025 Composite has come off the board. And it was only last week when that lone five-star commit, IMG Academy guard Darius Acuff Jr., announced his allegiance to Arkansas.
"And I believe that that is a reason why this...has been the slowest recruiting cycle I have ever seen in my five years of being here." Why are we seeing so many players “cut their list” to 10 or 12 schools…When there’s no way they’ll be able to take all those visits and still be able to chose from all of them?So, it's true that the 13-deep Duke basketball offer sheet has yet to yield a win for Jon Scheyer and his cohorts, not even from the heralded prep named after the school's Cameron Indoor Stadium in Columbus High School five-star forward Cameron Boozer.
At the same time, though, it shouldn't come as a surprise that all 13 targets remain undecided, and only one has formally cut the Blue Devils from a list.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.
