The fact that Trinity Episcopal School (Va.) four-star Henry Coleman falls one star short of each of the three current 2020 Duke basketball commits — point guard Jeremy Roach, combo guard D.J. Steward, and small forward Jalen Johnson — doesn’t mean his commitment would be any less valuable.
Actually, one could argue the opposite is the case for the 6-foot-7, 220-pound power forward who ranks No. 40 on the 247Sports 2020 Composite and is set to announce his college choice on Friday at 3:30 p.m. EST from his high school.
One, Coleman has a blue-collar mentality, a strong pair of mitts, an adequate overall skill set, and a sturdy build — all sparking memories of the title-winning playing days of the Duke basketball assistant who bears the responsibility of leading his recruitment, Nate James.
