Duke basketball keeps going back to the Montverde Academy well.

With the recruiting window now open for the Class of 2026, Max Feldman reported on Saturday that 2026 five-star Caleb Gaskins heard from the Blue Devils.

The five-star power forward currently sits as the seventh overall player in the class in 247Sports’ rankings.

Montverde Academy produced some Duke stars over the last decade. [autotag]RJ Barrett[/autotag], the third overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft, and [autotag]Cooper Flagg[/autotag], the top-ranked player in the Class of 2024, both played for the Eagles.

As a sophomore last season, Gaskins averaged 4.1 points and 2.4 rebounds per game for the undefeated national champion. He shot 64% from the floor, the fourth-best mark on the team.

Scheyer hit a few of his favorite spots already for the 2026 class. Another Saturday report said that he reached out to Paul VI star Jordan Smith Jr. The 2024 recruiting class features two Paul VI signees, Patrick Ngongba II and Darren Harris.

Gaskins also heard from schools like Kansas, Louisville, Florida, and LSU, according to Feldman’s report.
