The Duke basketball program will host one of its 2025 targets this fall.
According to a Thursday report from League Ready’s Sam Kayser, Shelton Henderson will take an official visit with the Blue Devils from September 27-29.
Henderson, the 19th-ranked recruit in the class in 247Sports’ rankings and a top-five small forward in his year, posted through social media that the Blue Devils offered him on June 11. The 6-foot-6 Texas native has earned praise for his athleticism and ceiling, and 247Sports recruiting analyst Brandon Jenkins wrote that he “arguably has the best long-term tools in the national class” in his scouting report.
Henderson will also take a visit with Louisville, another ACC power that is undergoing a coaching change after a disastrous 2023-24 season, about a month earlier. His offer list also includes LSU, Texas, Houston, Texas A&M, and DePaul.
Duke coach Jon Scheyer just welcomed his six freshmen from the 2024 recruiting class to Durham earlier this week, but the Blue Devils don’t have a 2025 commit on the board yet.

Henderson is an athletic, two-way wing with a great build and toughness on both ends. Can guard multiple spots defensively… pic.twitter.com/JsC2hDd0Js
