Duke basketball (Nell Redmond-USA TODAY Sports)
Duke basketball is swiftly approaching 100 percent inside one Crystal Ball.
With the latest pick favoring the Blue Devils that popped up on Wednesday, the 247Sports Crystal Ball shows the Duke basketball recruiters boasting a strong, growing advantage in their pursuit of Paul VI (Va.) five-star Trevor Keels, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound complete backcourt weapon and McDonald’s All-American who ranks No. 20 overall on the 247Sports 2021 Composite.
In terms of pick count, Duke now leads Villanova, 5-1, following the four it has picked up in just the past eight days alone, including one from national insider Travis Branham.
