Duke Basketball Courts 2027 4-Star Forward Deng Ngor

Duke University's men's basketball program is intensifying its recruitment for the 2027 class under head coach Jon Scheyer. A significant development is the scheduling of an official visit for Deng Ngor, a 4-star prospect.

Ngor, a 6'8" forward from Fort Erie International Academy in Ontario, is ranked as the No. 80 overall player and the No. 12 power forward in the 2027 class. He also holds the distinction of being the top prospect from Ontario. His recruitment has seen a surge, with offers from multiple Division I programs.

Demonstrating his international talent, Ngor competed with Team Canada at the FIBA U18 AmeriCup in Mexico this summer. He played a crucial role in Canada's victory over Team USA in the final, averaging 10.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game throughout the tournament.

Duke has also extended offers to several other highly-rated 2027 prospects. The Blue Devils' 2027 class currently includes one commit, Kager Knueppel. The program is navigating new NCAA eligibility rules that could impact roster construction in future seasons.
