In one of the fastest commitments we can remember, West Virginia’s Jaemyn Brakefield committed to Duke less than 24 hours after being offered.
Brakefield is somewhere between a 4 and 5 star prospect, depending on you who ask, and to the best of our memory is the first kid from West Virginia to come to Duke since Alan Williams who was either a very late Bill Foster or very early Coach K recruit. Either way he left after three years, perhaps aware that he was not well suited to Coach K’s system.
Brakefield joins Jeremy Roach, DJ Steward, Henry Coleman and Jalen Johnson and may push Duke’s class to the top.
