Team Herro, Knueppel’s grassroots team, revealed the offer from fifth-year Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer via the following post on social media:

Up roughly 30 spots on the 247Sports 2027 Composite since December, the 6-foot-10, 215-pound Knueppel checks in as a four-star talent at No. 82 overall, No. 12 among power forwards, and No. 5 in Wisconsin.

And chances are his list of suitors will continue to expand in light of his elite outside shooting and budding versatility on the top-shelf Nike EYBL 17U stage this spring. Through his Team Herro squad’s 2-1 start, the Milwaukee native is averaging 16.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals while shooting 46.7 percent from the field, 54.2 percent from three (on 8.0 attempts beyond the arc per game), and 88.9 percent at the charity stripe.

Of course, it’s worth mentioning that Kon Knueppel, the runner-up for NBA Rookie of the Year honors this week after becoming a 2024-25 Duke basketball one-and-done and 2025-26 sharpshooting star for the Charlotte Hornets, has three more younger brothers who could end up on Jon Scheyer’s future wishlists: Kinston Knueppel (2028 recruiting cycle), Kash Knueppel (2029), and Kid Knueppel (2030).
