Duke Basketball: Lead expert now picks UK over Duke for Isaiah Stewart

Maybe the Duke basketball coaches have a secret plan to turn the tides when it comes to the recruiting battle for five-star 2019 center Isaiah Stewart. As it stands, though, the momentum in that battle appears to favor Kentucky.

See, when 247Sports national recruiting director Evan Daniels enters a pick for a 2019 recruit, it likely means he has a strong reason to believe his pick is correct. After all, Daniels has so far accurately predicted the landing spots for 45 out of 47 prospects (95.74 percent) from the 2019 class.

So that’s why it may be a bit bigger than no big deal that Daniels pegged Stewart as a future player for the Kentucky Wildcats with the pick he entered on Sunday.
