The Duke Blue Devils sit atop the 2025 basketball recruiting rankings after the commitment of four-star forward Nikolas Khamenia on Tuesday, and Jon Scheyer and his staff aren’t done yet.
Two different 247Sports recruiting writers, Adam Rowe and John Watson of The Devils Den, logged Crystal Ball predictions on Wednesday for four-star forward Shelton Henderson to pick the Blue Devils.
Henderson, a 6-foot-6 and 220-pound small forward, is the 15th overall player in the 247Sports Recruiting Rankings. According to MaxPreps, he averaged 21.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.9 steals, and 1.4 blocks for Bellaire High School as a junior, leading the team in every category, and associate head coach Jai Lucas (who graduated from Bellaire himself in 2007 before playing college basketball with the Florida Gators and Texas Longhorns) took an in-school visit with Henderson last month.
Henderson included the Blue Devils among his final three schools alongside the Longhorns and Louisville Cardinals. Should he choose Duke, he’d join Khamenia and five-star twin brothers Cameron and Cayden Boozer in the 2025 recruiting class. All four players sit within the top 21 of the 247Sports rankings with Cameron, one of the highest-ranked commits in school history, all the way up at second.
