A high-profile Duke basketball recruiting prospect might be out for months.

The Duke basketball recruiters haven’t even fully dived into their 2022 efforts yet. So it could be a while before they hand out 2023 offers. Whenever that day comes, though, chances are Sierra Canyon (Calif.) combo guard LeBron James Jr. will land one.

Yes, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski should eventually target the 6-foot-3, 180-pound five-star, even if only out of respect for his Olympic gold bond with LeBron James — not to mention all the Blue Devil apparel that “Bronny” has donned in public over the years.
