Throughout the course of history, the Duke Blue Devils have had more talent and future stars than arguably every other program in college basketball. That’s just how they operate.

They had Cooper Flagg last season, and they’ve now landed the Boozer twins, Cameron and Cayden, to make up for that loss while they wait for another top-notch recruit.

According to a report by Dushawn London of 247Sports, they may have found him already. Unfortunately, they’re going to have to wait for a little longer before he arrives on campus.
