Top Duke Basketball Target Makes Significant Cuts in Recruitment
VJ Edgecombe is down to three, including the Duke basketball recruiting team.
On Christmas Eve, Blue Devil Country on SI.com reported on recent rumblings that Long Island Lutheran (N.Y.) guard VJ Edgecombe, a 6-foot-5, 180-pound explosive five-star, was likely considering only Duke basketball and two other programs from the top 11 he named several months ago.
Then, on Wednesday evening, Edgecombe, the highest-ranked undecided senior at No. 5 on the 247Sports 2024 Composite, confirmed that chatter. He’s down to three suitors in Duke, Kentucky, and Baylor, officially eliminating Alabama, Florida, Florida State, St. John’s, Miami, Michigan, UConn, and G League Ignite from contention.
