Duke Basketball: Hurricane Florence forces B.J. Boston to postpone visit

His high school’s mascot, a Blue Devil, could be viewed as a good omen for the Duke basketball program. Hurricane Florence, however, is not helping the situation when it comes to the recruitment of five-star 2020 guard B.J. Boston.

With classes being canceled for Friday (the day that Boston was initially supposed to arrive) due to the expectation of strong winds, heavy rainfall, and possible power outages in the area, it wouldn’t be the ideal situation for a prospect to fully experience all the Duke campus has to offer.

The 6-foot-6, 175-pound native of Atlanta intends to reschedule his official visit to Duke for a date that he has yet to specify, according to Corey Evans of Rivals.
