It sounds like top-ranked 2026 prospect Brandon McCoy Jr. is a strong contender to receive the first Duke basketball offer in the cycle.
St. John Bosco High School five-star Brandon McCoy Jr. is one of several rising high school juniors who have heard from the Duke basketball staff since last Saturday, the first day college coaches were allowed to contact 2026 talents directly. However, McCoy stands out from the crowd as a potential Blue Devil target — Jon Scheyer and his crew have yet to officially enter the fray for any players in his class — for a couple of reasons.The No.
"I've talked to Coach Scheyer personally on the phone," he said, "and I've talked to Coach Jai Lucas.""McCoy is a sizable guard as he's approaching 6-foot-5 with a wingspan of 6-foot-9. He's rapidly filling out his frame and is physically imposing on both offense and defense. Where he particularly stands out is defensively. He can pressure the ball and switch positions due to his physical tools while still making plays off the ball.
As things stand, Brandon McCoy Jr. holds over a dozen offers, and it appears he's in store to receive many more in the coming months. "It's been a lot of schools ," he noted to Whitfield, "but to name a few, Duke, Kentucky, Michigan State, Arizona, UCLA, USC, Michigan, Cal Berkeley, Kansas, and BYU. Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head."
