With the Tar Heels Snagging Walker Kessler, What’s Next for Blue Devil Recruiting?

In what ended up being a whirlwind commitment 2020 big man Walker Kessler, whom most had penciled in for the Blue Devils, chose to commit to Roy Williams and the Tar Heels. The Heels are quietly building one of their best classes in years and are just getting started. The loss of Kessler for Duke, one of only 2 Centers that the Blue Devils have offered, leaves Duke in a bit of a quandary as far as filling out a lineup and replacing what they plan on losing after this season. The Blue Devils will lose senior bigs Jack White and Javin DeLaurier to exhausted eligibility, more than likely Matthew Hurt and Vernon Carey to the draft – both are projected to be first rounders at this point.
