The Duke basketball recruiters' latest moves sure do suggest they are looking to make The Patrick School (N.J.) small forward Jonathan Kuminga the seventh piece to their 2020 class. Though the 6-foot-9, 220-pound 17-year-old is only a junior — No. 1 on the 247Sports 2021 Composite — his age, strength, skills, and past comments suggest it may only be a matter of time before a reclass announcement.
Some chatter in recent months implied the Blue Devils had tempered their interest in the five-star. Suggesting otherwise, though, was the appearance from staff members Nate James and Chris Carrawell to watch Kuminga on Saturday night at the semifinals of the John Wall Invitational in Raleigh.
