Duke Recruiting: VJ Edgecombe Has Made His Decision...
...and will announce on Sunday
VJ Edgecombe, who is down to Duke, Baylor and Kentucky, is set to announce Sunday evening at halftime of the Montverde-Prolific Prep game . That game is at 7:30 and will be on ESPN2.
The Crystal Ball picks all point to Duke currently but as we’ve seen before, that can change quite suddenly, so don’t count your baby Devils just yet.
However, it is interesting that he will announce at halftime of a Montverde game. The star player for Montervde is Cooper Flagg and Flagg of course has already committed to Duke.
Edgecombe’s school, Long Island Lutheran, is in the event too as is North Mecklenburg (Isaiah Evans) and Paul VI (Patrick Ngongba and Darren Harris).
Blue Devil coach Jon Scheyer and company will be there as well, all of which is intriguing. Still, the great lesson of recruiting is not to get too high or too low so let’s be reserved until the announcement and then we’ll see.
However if Edgecombe does choose Duke, he’ll join Flagg, Evans, Ngongba, Harris and Kon Knueppel. Rankings are not worth much in our opinion but they give a sense of potential. Flagg, Evans and Knueppel are 5-stars while Paul VI teammates Ngongba and Harris are four-stars.
Adding Edgecombe to this group would be tremendous.
