Duke’s head coach Jon Scheyer announced this week that the Blue Devils have entered the recruitment market for both the 2027 and 2028 classes, dispatching formal scholarship offers to a handful of elite prospects.
Among those offered, 5‑star forward Colton Hiller joins a growing list of highly touted players receiving Duke’s attention, while AJ Williams, the top‑ranked 2028 recruit according to the 247Sports Composite, continues to dominate the international stage.
Williams is currently in Istanbul, where he is leading Team USA in scoring and rebounding, helping the squad to a 4‑0 start that includes average victories by 50 points.
