VJ Edgecombe, who is currently considering Duke, Baylor, and Kentucky, is scheduled to reveal his decision on Sunday evening during the halftime of the Montverde-Prolific Prep game. The game is set to start at 7:30 and will be broadcasted on ESPN2.
While the prevailing predictions in the Crystal Ball currently favor Duke, it’s essential to note that these forecasts can change unexpectedly. Therefore, it’s wise not to assume that Duke is the definite choice just yet.
Notably, Edgecombe’s decision to announce during the halftime of a Montverde game adds an interesting element to the situation. Cooper Flagg, the star player for Montverde, has already committed to Duke. Furthermore, Edgecombe’s school, Long Island Lutheran, is also part of the event, alongside North Mecklenburg (Isaiah Evans) and Paul VI (Patrick Ngongba and Darren Harris).
Blue Devil coach Jon Scheyer and his team are expected to attend the announcement, adding an intriguing element to the situation. However, the key lesson in recruiting is to remain level-headed, avoiding excessive excitement or disappointment until the official announcement is made. It’s essential to exercise caution and reserve judgment until after the revelation.
If Edgecombe ultimately chooses Duke, he would join a roster that includes Flagg, Evans, Ngongba, Harris, and Knueppel. While rankings are not the sole measure of worth, they do provide an indication of potential. Flagg, Evans, and Knueppel are all designated as 5-star prospects, while Ngongba and Harris, who are teammates at Paul VI, hold four-star rankings.
The addition of Edgecombe to this already impressive group would undoubtedly be a significant boost for the team.
