The Duke basketball program currently sits with the No. 5 overall 2026 recruiting class according to 247Sports, a group that includes two 5-star prospects already, but Jon Scheyer and his staff aren't done with their efforts. Deron Rippey Jr., one of the top guards in the 2026 recruiting class, has been on the Blue Devils' radar for quite some time, and they've always been one of the frontrunners for his services. It was recently said that Rippey would be committing in the coming weeks, and now an official commitment date has been set in stone for the top guard.
