Duke basketball should survive cut from key 2020 target

Duke basketball target Walker Kessler essentially already did what he plans to do on Friday.

But any news is significant from the five-star 2020 center, a fluid 7-footer who ranks No. 16 on the 247Sports Composite. In fact, with the Blue Devils figuring to be in dire need of big men with possibly as few as zero returning after next season, any tidbits from the Kessler camp are arguably more important than all other Duke recruiting news at the moment.

According to a Wednesday tweet from EPI Training, the Fairburn, Ga., native (Woodward Academy) will announce on Friday the six programs remaining in contention for his services.
