A sharpshooter with hops is now hearing from Duke basketball’s Jon Scheyer.

Razorback fans must’ve had fingers crossed for Morrilton (Ark.) small forward Joseph Pinion to continue flying under the radar as the No. 102 overall prospect on the 247Sports 2022 Composite. To their dismay, though, Arkansas recruiting insider Kevin McPherson recently tweeted about some initial contact from the Duke basketball program:

“[Pinion] had a very good conversation with [Duke associate head coach] Jon Scheyer…no Duke offers for 2022 have been made yet, but Pinion was told he’s one of only 13 players from around the country that Duke has reached out to.
