Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff recently landed their third commitment of the 2026 recruiting cycle early signing period with 5-star forward Cameron Williams, a top-five overall prospect who ultimately committed to Duke over Arizona and Texas. After Williams' pledge to Durham, the Blue Devils have now jumped all the way up to the No. 1 overall recruiting class, according to On3. In addition to Williams, Scheyer has landed commitments from 5-star forward Bryson Howard and Canadian seven-footer Maxime Meyer. However, the program is still nowhere near done on the recruiting trail, with another potential commitment coming shortly.
