It’s a longstanding tradition for Duke and North Carolina to have their sights set on the same high-profile prospects on the recruiting trail. The two blue bloods have mastered the art of enticing high school standouts looking to join well-respected and storied Power 4/mid-major programs.
The Blue Devils and Tar Heels have reportedly done it again, as they both appear to be in the mix for Beckham Black, the No. 1-rated point guard in the Class of 2027 and brother of Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black, who averaged 15. 0 points per game this season.
While UNC was already in the mix for Beckham, Duke joined the mix on Monday. “Blessed to receive a offer from Duke University,” Beckham stated on X/Twitter. The Blue Devils and Tar Heels will certainly have their work cut out for them, as Beckham currently holds 22 offers ahead of his senior season at Southeastern Prep.
