Duke has lost one of its top recruits ahead of the 2025-26 men’s college basketball season.
Five-star forward Shelton Henderson decommitted from the Blue Devils this week. Henderson is the No. 12 player in the country according to Rivals and the No. 4 small forward in the country. The Texas native was part of what had been Rivals’ No. 1 recruiting class along with three other players.
Henderson originally committed to Duke in early November and signed his letter of intent with the school less than two weeks later. But he’s now been released from that NLI and is back on the market.
