Overview
- Asa Montgomery confirmed his commitment to Duke on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026, choosing the Blue Devils over finalists that included North Carolina and UConn.
- Montgomery is a 6-foot-7, 215-pound small forward ranked as a five-star, top-10 national prospect by major recruiting services.
- He dominated the summer circuit for AOT by leading the Nike EYBL in scoring at 27.9 points per game and averaged 9.7 points and 4.4 rebounds while helping USA Basketball win FIBA U17 gold.
- Montgomery becomes Jon Scheyer's third 2027 pledge alongside Kager Knueppel and Luke Paul, a addition that recruiting outlets say materially upgrades Duke's incoming class.
- Montgomery visited Duke in early October after taking official visits to LSU, Georgia Tech, UConn and North Carolina, and his prior connection with freshman Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje points to an immediate fit in Duke's rotation and recruiting momentum for future classes.
