Duke basketball recruiting prospect MJ Rice (Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports)
One name on the Duke basketball recruiting trail has become a rumor magnet.
Somewhat surprisingly, former Oak Hill (Va.) small forward MJ Rice, who has not yet announced where he’ll spend his senior year of high school, is absent from the Duke basketball program’s list of upcoming official visitors.
After all, the 6-foot-5, 225-pound five-star, a versatile strongman who has recently risen to No. 18 overall on the 247Sports 2022 Composite, was once a frequent unofficial visitor behind the bench at Blue Devil home games.
