A rival of the Duke basketball team is making a strong push for a coveted Blue Devil recruit.

After a slow start in courting the Class of 2022, the Duke basketball program are making strong pushes for some of the top targets but head coach in waiting Jon Scheyer now has some tough competition.

Scheyer and the Blue Devils extended an offer to four-star prospect Kyle Filipowski and hosted the Wilbraham, Massachusetts native for a visit on June 28 but after showcasing his skills at the Peach Jam this month John Calipari and Kentucky have entered the race.
