Duke basketball: Blue Devils zoom in on foreign big man

Considering that the last Canadian Blue Devil, R.J. Barrett, left Durham as the program’s all-time freshman scorer, it’s no surprise the Duke basketball recruiters are paying attention to another promising prospect from north of the border.

On Wednesday, per Stock Risers’ Jake Weingarten, associate head coach Jon Scheyer and two other assistants took a trip to see Andrews Osborne Academy (Ohio) center Charles Bediako, who hails from St. Catharines, Ont.

Weingarten tagged the 6-foot-11, 220-pound four-star as “one of Canada’s top prospects regardless of class.” The 247Sports 2021 Composite ranks Bediako No.
