The Duke basketball program currently sits with the No. 5 overall 2026 recruiting class according to 247Sports, but Jon Scheyer and his staff aren't done yet. The Blue Devils are in hot pursuit of two elite 5-star guards, and one of those top recruits just received some major praise following a stellar outing. 5-star Deron Rippey Jr., one of the Blue Devils' top remaining 2026 targets, just led the way for Blair Academy (NJ) in a statement victory over The Newman School (MA). Rippey has had one of the busiest fall seasons in terms of official visits of any top 2026 recruit, but an ultimate commitment is expected to be made in the coming weeks.
