O’Connell, a 6'6" shooting guard from Alpharetta, Ga. received an offer from Mike Krzyzewski and staff on Tuesday and made the verbal commitment on Wednesday.

“They checked all the boxes for me,” O’Connell said. “The basketball opportunity, it’s in the ACC and the coaching staff. My dad, Julian Barfield and I feel very comfortable and it’s like a home away from home. Playing for Coach K, the strength of schedule and the NBA exposure, Duke has it all.”
