Seven-Foot Recruit Promises to Outgrow Ceiling
Duke officially signed 7-foot-1, 210-pound five-star Cameron Williams from St. Mary’s High School (Ariz.) as the crown jewel of its 2026 class. Praised by coach Jon Scheyer for his rare combination of size, versatility and coachability, Williams boasts a 7-foot-2 wingspan, elite shooting from distance and the ability to guard positions one through five. As the No. 4 overall prospect and top power forward in the cycle, he joins fellow top talents Bryson Howard and Maxime Meyer in bolstering Duke’s No. 5 recruiting haul.
Duke insider caption: We’ve basically hired a human Jenga tower who can not only swat shots into next week but also dish dimes while standing on one foot. Scheyer is positively beaming as if he just discovered the secret to turning basketball players into superheroes—height guaranteed! Sure, Williams might need an extra-large dorm door and ceiling reinforcement, but let’s be honest: Duke would move mountains to build a court tall enough. Meanwhile, opposing coaches are frantically Googling “ceiling support” and “tallest NCAA arenas,” fearing that this towering wunderkind will make everyone else look like a bunch of vertically challenged amateurs. Grab your popcorn—Duke is about to debut its own version of The BFG, and there’s no telling how high this story will go.
Blue Devils Roll Out Red Carpet for NJ Phenom
Rutgers Prep small forward Will Brunson, one of the top sophomores in the 2028 class, paid an unofficial visit to Duke for the finale of the Brotherhood Run against Howard. Ranked No. 32 nationally and No. 2 in New Jersey, Brunson impressed Duke staff with his speed, bounce and multifaceted scoring ability. He’s already toured Oklahoma State, will visit NC State and Syracuse, and holds interest from Auburn, Syracuse and Rutgers, though official offers remain pending. Duke currently sits 6-0 and prepares for a Thanksgiving Classic clash with No. 21 Arkansas.
In a twist straight out of a teen drama, Duke transformed Cameron Indoor Stadium into the ultimate high school field trip destination. Brunson got to experience real college hoops, snack on band snacks and maybe pick up some nostalgia-induced Caveman chants. Meanwhile, Scheyer and crew likely handed him a Duke-branded mini helmet, a friendship bracelet and a brochure that reads, “Join us, and never do real homework again.” As Brunson weighs his options, fans can only imagine the recruiting board covered in pushpins, graphic renderings of future NBA potential and motivational quotes like “Why have a social life when you can have Cameron Indoor?” Tune in for the sequel when he visits NC State—and brace yourself for the inevitable wave of AI-generated hype videos promising he’ll dunk on Venus itself.
