Jalen Johnson refutes reports that Duke is the favorite in his recruitment

Jalen Johnson is the No. 4 overall player, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, and a consensus top-10 prospect in the Class of 2020.

Johnson is a 6-8 forward from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and one of the Kentucky Wildcats’ top targets in 2020. He recently cut his list to the Duke Blue Devils, Wisconsin Badgers, Arizona Wildcats, and of course, Kentucky.

The only problem: he’s widely expected to pick Duke.

The Blue Devils lead all schools in both the 247Sports Crystal Ball (93%), as well as the Rivals Future Cast (100%), including picks from national recruiting experts Eric Bossi, Evan Daniels, Corey Evans, Jerry Meyer, and Andrew Slater.
