Duke Basketball Bolsters Specific Aspect with New Addition Kon Knueppel

 Duke basketball coach Jon Scheyer continues to strengthen one area as the Blue Devils’ 2024 recruiting class comes together. 

With the addition of five-star wing Kon Knueppel, who announced his commitment to the Blue Devils in a social media post on Thursday night, Scheyer has three players in the 2024 class known for shooting ability.

“The Brotherhood just got bigger,” Knueppel posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

Knueppel joins Isaiah Evans and Darren Harris as Duke’s 2024 recruits. The Blue Devils are also in the mix for several other high-profile prospects, including Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper. 

A 6-foot-6 wing at Wisconsin Lutheran, Knueppel averaged 19.7 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists as a junior. On the AAU circuit, Knueppel led Nike’s EYBL league in scoring at 22.5 points per game in the spring. He shot 47.5% from 3-point range.
