Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer has established himself as one of the best recruiters in the entire country, cementing the No. 1 overall recruiting class per 247Sports in each of the past two years. The Blue Devils are in contention to land the top recruiting class once again in 2026, as Scheyer and his staff have already sealed commitments from two 5-star recruits in Cameron Williams and Bryson Howard. However, what Scheyer gets less credit for, and what he's arguably better at than recruiting, is developing elite talent. Duke tends to revolve its teams around elite freshmen with complementary veterans, and Scheyer does as good a job as any head coach in the country at getting his guys clicking quickly on both sides of the ball.
