Natural court aptitude and a wealth of talent entitle Devin Askew to receive an offer from any blue-blood. However, adding the 6-foot-3, 195-pound 17-year-old to Duke basketball’s 2020 class would have potentially been problematic.
Although the crop of Blue Devils arriving in Durham the season after next needs to be deep, Mike Krzyzewski has already nabbed a commitment from his handpicked point guard. Jeremy Roach, a five-star who ranks No. 18 on the 247Sports Composite, will arrive in the fall of 2020 as the replacement for Tre Jones (assuming Jones is in the NBA by then).
