The hosts discuss Duke basketball recruiting news, focusing on Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje's performance and the commitment of Kager Knueppel.

Josh, Dustin, and Raul cover a variety of Duke-related summer topics. First they talk about Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje emerging as a star on the international stage in the U17 World Cup. Does Boumtje-Boumtje's performance alter their expectations for him at Duke? Next they discuss the recent commitment of 2027 forward Kager Knueppel. What does it mean to have yet another Knueppel attending Duke? And which former players does he mostly closely compare to? Lastly, they discuss emerging targets for Duke in the 2027 and 2028 classes. They dig into the possibility of Colton Hiller reclassifying and attending college for two years. Could this become a trend for younger high school and international players?
