Duke Basketball Continues to Enjoy Recruiting Successes Under Jon Scheyer
College hoops' early signing period gets underway on Wednesday and runs through next Wednesday. And as was the case at this time last year in the 2026 recruiting cycle, Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his cohorts have already secured three early pledges.
Wisconsin Lutheran High School power forward Kager Knueppel, younger brother of a former Duke basketball standout in second-year Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Kon Knueppel, became the first 2027 talent to pledge allegiance to the Blue Devils. The 6-foot-9, 215-pound floor-stretcher, who boasts a five-star rating at No. 16 overall on the 247Sports 2027 Composite, announced his commitment on June 29.
