Duke Basketball Going After Top 2025 Recruits in Major Push
Duke Basketball is making a strong move on the recruiting trail, targeting some of the best high school players in the 2025 class. After a quiet stretch, the Blue Devils are now stepping up, hoping to land several five-star prospects who could bring serious talent to the program.
Led by head coach Jon Scheyer, Duke is showing interest in top-ranked players like guard Darius Acuff Jr., forward Koa Peat, and big man Cameron Boozer. All three are ranked among the top high school athletes in the country and are expected to have a major impact at the college level.
The program’s coaches have been seen at major AAU events and personal workouts, showing a new level of energy and commitment. This sudden recruiting push seems to reflect Duke’s desire to bounce back quickly and stay competitive with other big-name schools like Kentucky and Kansas.
Experts believe this move is also part of Duke’s strategy to keep up with changes in college basketball, including NIL deals and the transfer portal. Instead of just relying on its strong reputation, Duke is putting in the work to convince these young stars to choose Durham as their next home.
If the Blue Devils can land even one or two of these players, it could set the team up for a powerful season in 2025–26. For now, all eyes are on the recruiting trail as Duke looks to bring new firepower to the court.
