Recruiting analysts are starting to shed a bit more insight into Duke’s pursuit of a center in the 2023 class, specifically JP Estrella.
On3.com’s Jamie Shaw confirms what we all suspected: that Jon Scheyer wants to round out his 2023 recruiting class with a high-quality big man given the expectation that the Blue Devils will lose both Kyle Filipowski and Dereck Lively to the NBA Draft after this season. Duke has offered Estrella and Xavier Booker, but Shaw reports that Estrella is atop Scheyer’s recruiting board.
As noted previously, Estrella currently projects as a multi-year player that may not be ready for starter’s minutes as a freshman.
