New Duke basketball offer comes with giant implication

Andrews Osborne Academy (Ohio) junior center Charles Bediako announced via tweet late Monday evening his scholarship offer from Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski. Then, per Rivals' Corey Evans, the 6-foot-11, 220-pound four-star confirmed that the invite to become a Blue Devil is valid for 2020 or 2021.

The fact that Bediako, who ranks No. 39 on the 247Sports 2021 Composite, turns 18 in March suggests a reclass to 2020 is probable. Age aside, though, the Greater Toronto Area native pointed out to Phenom Hoops Report in November the primary factor in his decision:

"Some schools have been asking me if I am going to reclass to 2020 or stay in 2021, and I just simply tell them I kind of want to wait until after the season.
