We know you are probably focused on Duke’s first preseason game against Central Florida but the Duke Basketball Roundup could not let a huge recruiting win go by unmentioned.
On Tuesday afternoon, Duke
landed the first recruit of the class of 2026, 6-5 wing Bryson Howard . The son of former Wake Forest star Josh Howard was down to Duke, Kentucky, and UNC but he chose the right shade of blue in the end.
Howard is an elite defender and a light-out long-range shooter. He shot up the recruiting rankings over the summer and now finds himself knocking on the door of the top 10. Jon Scheyer has landed a special player… one who seems to want to spend a couple seasons, at least, in Durham. Listen in as the DBR podcast gang (featuring Scott Rich in a guest role) breaks it all down for you.
