Duke lands Henry Coleman, offers Hunter Dickinson

Basketball has active evening while waiting for football kickoff

As Henry Coleman prepared to take his official visit to Duke the last weekend in August, coach Mike Krzyzewski gave him some advice.

“You’re going to know as soon as you step on campus if this is home,” the Hall of Fame coach told Coleman.

It appears that first step convinced him, because the four-star power forward donned a Duke cap at a Friday ceremony at his high school, Trinity Episcopal, in Richmond.

Coleman is a 6-foot-6, 210-pound post player who is rated as the No. 44 prospect by 247 and No. 40 by Rivals.

He becomes the fourth commit in Duke’s 2020 class, joining five-star small forward Jalen Johnson, five-star point guard Jeremy Roach and five-star combination guard DJ Steward. Duke’s class is currently rated as second-best in the nation.

Duke is still looking to add a center to the class. Four-star Mark Williams is scheduled to visit the first weekend in November, and the Blue Devils just offered 7-foot-2 Hunter Dickinson, a four-star, a short time after locking down Coleman.
