Duke Basketball: Jon Scheyer Crosses Paths With UNC in Recruiting Game

Recruiting at spring and summer grassroot events is an artform that Duke basketball's Jon Scheyer and UNC's Hubert Davis have been practicing for years, first as assistants for their archrival alma maters and more recently as the head coaches. Along with scouting the talent, obviously, it's all about battling other big-name coaches for ideal courtside seats to catch eyes with prospects they're often all pursuing.

Interestingly, rather than heading to Nike EYBL Session 3 action in Indiana on Friday, they chose the same game to attend in Texas on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit. The contest's main attraction was Team Loaded VA's longtime Duke target and potential UNC target in Highland School five-star wing Nate Ament.

He finished 7-for-12 from the field and 5-for-9 beyond the arc.Jon Scheyer and Hubert Davis have nine offers apiece out to the 2025 class. Their wishlists include five shared targets.

Perhaps Nate Ament, who landed an offer from the Blue Devils while visiting the program in September, will soon be the sixth, as he recently noted that he's also beenMatt Giles is the editor and publisher of FanNation's Blue Devil Country and All Tar Heels, covering the Duke Blue Devils and UNC Tar Heels on SI.com.
