Jon Scheyer’s recruiting is truly off the charts incredible. In his latest master stroke, the Duke coach has convinced Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje, an American teen playing in Spain, to come to Duke a year earlier than expected to join the 2026-27 Blue Devils.

Boom Boom, as he is known, is considered perhaps the top prospect in the 2028 NBA Draft and Duke will get to see what he brings to the table starting this fall. The DBR Podcast crew has been crushing the tape and reading all the scouting reports to give you everything you need to know about the latest big man headed to campus.

After the break, Jason and Donald have more recruiting news. There is word that Duke has officially offered Kager Knueppel’s younger brother, Kager. And, Duke may be filling out the practice squad with a guy who was actually a pretty good D1 player last season. Tune in to the latest edition of the Duke Basketball Roundup for all the details.
