247Sports has released the final update for their class of 2026 rankings, including four Duke players in the top 100.
The Duke Blue Devils are reloading for the 2026-27 college basketball season, as Jon Scheyer and the program look to get over the hump.
We last saw Duke on the court in March, blowing a 19-point lead in the Elite Eight as UConn stunned them in the final seconds. But we will have to wait a few more months before we can see this version of the Blue Devils on the court again.
As Duke loses Cameron Boozer, Isaiah Evans and Maliq Brown, they welcome back Cayden Boozer, Dame Sarr and Patrick Ngongba among others. Plus, they have a good transfer portal class and one of the best recruiting classes for the 2026 cycle.
Before these players officially arrive in Durham, they are receiving some praise from 247Sports.
Four Duke Blue Devils named Top 100 recruits
247Sports put the final touches on their 2026 recruiting rankings this week, releasing the final version. The Blue Devils have five players in the 2026 recruiting class and four of them are now ranked in the top 100.
Leading the way is forward Cameron Wiliams.
The Arizona product is Duke's top-ranked recruit, checking in at No. 4 overall in the rankings from 247Sports. Not far behind him is guard Derron Rippey Jr. who is No. 11 overall and the top point guard in the country.
Bryson Howard is ranked No. 21 overall while Maxime Meyer is No. 93 overall.
The lone recruit missing is international center Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje. He was not included in the official top 100 rankings but is listed as a five-star recruit. He's ranked as the best international prospect and would be among the top centers overall in the 2026 class if ranked.
That combination gives Duke the top overall recruiting class via 247Sports, allowing them to reload and have high expectations once again for the upcoming season.
Can Scheyer and the Blue Devils get over the hump and get back to the Final Four this season? They certainly have the talent to do so and it should be a very exciting season in Durham once again for the 2026-2027 season.
