Asa Montgomery, the No. 7 overall prospect in the 2027 class, has committed to Duke, giving the Blue Devils a top-10 recruit for the seventh straight class. The 6-foot-7 forward chose Jon Scheyer's program over LSU, Georgia Tech, UConn, and North Carolina. Montgomery, who led the EYCL in scoring with 27.9 points per game, said Duke was his dream school since he was 8.
He praised Scheyer for keeping it real and pushing the team hard in practice. Montgomery, a USA Basketball gold medalist at the 2026 FIBA U17 World Cup, is viewed as a potential one-and-done NBA prospect with a 6-10 wingspan and explosive vertical leap. He joins fellow five-star Kager Knueppel and Australian Luke Paul in the 2027 class.
