Duke Basketball Recruiting: Breaking Down Latest 2028 Moves

Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff are making moves on both the 2027 and 2028 recruiting trails.

Earlier this week, the Blue Devils sealed their third commitment in the 2027 class from 5-star forward Asa Montgomery. One of the quickest and biggest risers in the class, the 6’7″ forward joins 5-star forward Kager Knueppel and Australian point guard Luke Paul in Duke’s 2027 group.

Potential Reclass Candidates: Colton Hiller and Yann Kamagate

Yann Kamagate and Colton Hiller are the top two players in the 2028 recruiting class, respectively, according to the 247Sports 2028 Composite Rankings. Both are interesting recruits to follow, as both are viewed as potential reclass candidates into the 2027 class.

After Montgomery committed to Duke this week, he told League Ready he hopes to recruit Kamagate and Hiller to play at Duke with him.

“Definitely Colton Hiller, hope he can come. Yann [Kamagate]…I hope he can come too,” Montgomery said when asked who he will try to recruit to Duke.

Hiller took an official visit to Duke in early October, and at this point, it seems the Blue Devils and Florida are in a race to land the No. 2 overall player in the class, per the 247Sports Composite.
