Duke Basketball Recruiting Prize Puts Commitment in Ink
In the world of college hoops recruiting, it's not always a sure thing that a commitment will turn into a signature. But in the case of Wisconsin Lutheran High School power forward Kager Knueppel, there never seemed to be any doubt about the strength of his pledge to fifth-year Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and the Blue Devils.
Back in late June, Knueppel became the first 2027 prospect to commit to Duke. And on Wednesday, the first day of the cycle's early signing period, the 6-foot-9, 215-pound five-star became the first announced signee from the Blue Devils' three 2027 prizes.
