Duke Basketball Eyes California Guard Jason Crowe Jr. for 2026 Recruiting Class
With the NCAA recruiting period for the 2026 class fast approaching, Duke basketball coaches are gearing up to make their moves, and one prospect on their radar is Lynwood High School guard Jason Crowe Jr.
Crowe, a dynamic 6-foot-2 point guard from California, has already caught the attention of college basketball programs nationwide, sitting at No. 8 overall and No. 2 among point guards on the 247Sports 2026 Composite rankings. In a recent interview with Rivals’ Rob Cassidy, Crowe expressed his interest in attracting suitors like Duke, among others.
The Blue Devils have a track record of success with California talent, exemplified by this past season’s standout performer, sharpshooter Jared McCain. Crowe’s style as an uptempo bucket-getter aligns well with Duke’s offensive ethos, making him an intriguing prospect for the program.
While UCLA is the only one of Crowe’s desired schools to have extended an offer so far, he remains open to various possibilities, including the overseas route. However, with the allure of college basketball and the opportunity to pursue his NBA dreams, Crowe is keeping his options open.
Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer has yet to make any official moves for the 2026 class, but that’s expected to change as the recruiting period opens up. With the summer approaching and AAU events on the horizon, Scheyer and his coaching staff are poised to evaluate talent and begin reaching out to potential recruits like Crowe.
As the recruiting landscape unfolds, the pursuit of Jason Crowe Jr. by Duke basketball adds another layer of excitement to the anticipation of the upcoming recruiting cycle. With his talent and potential, Crowe could be a valuable addition to the Blue Devils’ program in the years to come.
