Blair Academy Guard Jaylen Blakes Commits to the Blue Devils

Fresh off the heels of Theo John committing to Duke as a graduate transfer the Blue Devils shore up their backcourt. In a fast recruitment the Blue Devils offered and received a commitment from 4-Star guard Jaylen Blakes. Blakes out of Blair Academy in NJ is rated just outside the top 100 prospects and ranked currently as a 4 star prospect. The offer comes as the Blue Devils are looking to shore up their backcourt and provide more ball handling and depth. With the departures of Jordan Goldwire to the transfer portal and DJ Steward having declared for the NBA Draft the Blue Devils were increasingly thin in the ballhandling department.
