Duke Basketball is one of the top recruiting programs in the nation. Who are some of the 2020 players that the Blue Devils have offered early?

Duke basketball is one of the best programs in the nation both with regards to success on the court and on the recruiting trail. Regardless of the amount of talent that leaves each offseason, the Blue Devils always land a top-5 recruiting class to trot out for the following campaign. While many may disagree with the “one-and-done” method used by the coaching staff, it has resulted in some incredibly fun teams.

With 2020 recruiting starting to heat up around the nation, I thought it would be prudent to gauge where the Blue Devils stand at this point in time. Due to their high level of recruiting prestige, Duke does not offer scholarships lightly. While many other schools have issued several offers to this point, Duke has only sent out six.

Of those six, one is already committed to the school and the other five are all ranked in the nation’s top-50 for the class. This should come as a surprise to absolutely no one as the program seemingly always targets the “best of the best.” Now, without any further ado, let’s dive into breaking down each of the prospects that the Duke Blue Devils have offered to this point.
