According to a Thursday report from League Ready’s Sam Kayser, Duke basketball will host 2026 five-star forward Miika Muurinen for an official visit later this month.
Kayser said on X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter) that Muurinen would take an official visit with the Blue Devils on September 27th.
One of the fastest-rising players in his class, the Arizona native has moved all the way up to No. 6 on the 247Sports rankings. Jon Scheyer and the Blue Devils first extended the 6-foot-10 forward an offer in July, and he’s presumed to be one of the staff’s top targets for the 2026 cycle.
According to Kayser’s report, Muurinen will also visit the Michigan Wolverines on September 14 and the Arkansas Razorbacks on September 21. He’s also received offers from the UCLA Bruins, Kentucky Wildcats, North Carolina Tar Heels, and Alabama Crimson Tide.
Scheyer visited another elite 2026 prospect, shooting guard Jordan Smith Jr., at school earlier this week. Smith played alongside new Blue Devils freshmen Darren Harris and Paul Ngongba II at Paul VI Catholic.
