However, the Blue Devils faced a setback when one of those early signees, Shelton Henderson, decommitted in mid-April and joined Miami, causing Duke to slip a few spots in the 2025 class rankings.
Now, with the recent back-to-back commitments from five-star shooting guard Dame Sarr and four-star power forward Sebastian Wilkins, fourth-year head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff have propelled Duke back to the No. 1 position in the recruiting rankings.
Duke basketball has finished atop the recruiting rankings in all but one of the past three cycles under head coach Jon Scheyer.
The standout prize in this cycle is power forward Cameron Boozer, ranked No. 3 overall on the 247Sports 2025 Composite. Five-star shooting guard Dame Sarr would likely rank next, but his international status excludes him from a 247Sports ranking. Four-star power forward Sebastian Wilkins sits at No. 35, trailing the other two Blue Devil signees, point guard Cayden Boozer at No. 20 and combo forward Nikolas Khamenia at No. 19.
