I’m still not sure what type of in-game coach Jon Scheyer will be, but I know he’s relentlessly working on the hiring path.
Shire’s first recruitment class brought three of the 2022 recruiters of the national consensus stop 5 to Durham as part of a stacked seven-person class (including the recent reclassification Tyres Proctor). .. His second class is already ranked high in the 2023 rankings. 4 out of 247 top 25 players who promised to be Blue Devil..
But the Shire isn’t over yet.
Duke’s new head coach Offering the soaring tycoon Xavier Booker In late May, and soon, we offered another class in 2023. JPEstrella in Maine..Like Booker, Estrela soared recruitment rankings and was listed as a four-star on most sites after flying under radar for many of her high school careers (being from Maine, Duke). Probably contributed to it, despite being the target of its peers Cooper flag It also comes from the state of pine trees). The lack of a clear consensus on the potential of Estrela raises the question: is he the long-term outlook? 2022 Class Christian ReevesA backup option if the booker commits elsewhere, or is someone bound to soar the rankings as well as Kyle Filipowski?
At 6 to 10 (and some reports approaching 7 feet), Estrella certainly has a college-level core size and has earned a reputation as a rim protector. -3 zone he Top target of ACC rival Syracuse.. It is offered by other ACC schools, including Wake Forest, Miami, and Virginia Tech. He is also the most popular from Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois. In short, Big Ten’s top programs believe he could contribute to that Big Man Dominant League.
But unpleasantly, Estrela has the skills to suit modern gamesIncludes the ability to create three-point shots and dribbles under development. Late grower Estrella is said to maintain agility as a small player, especially when attacking grass quickly.
Beyond these snippets, the potential of Estrella remains a bit unclear. Unlike other top prospects, Estrella isn’t on the prep route and stays in Maine, where it’s likely to be competing against inferior competitors. Historically, these types of players have taken time to adapt to college games. In short, Estrella could be planned as a multi-year college player.
That reality may indicate that Duke sees Estrela as a contributor after 2024, not just after 2023. That is, he is not necessarily in conflict with Booker, who expects to have a more direct impact. How seriously Shire is pursuing Estrela will be a better indication of how the program sees Reeves.
But recruitment experts said the same when Kyle Philippovsky first committed to Duke. Currently, Philippovski is a planned one-off action, and Shire only secures a commitment before the stock price soars. It’s too early to know how Duke’s staff sees Estrela as Philip or Reeves, but he continues to win big offers, so more focus on the Scouting report is needed. I have.
