Duke got a commitment Thursday from 7-1 Canadian Maxime Meyer. The 7-1 Meyer is currently playing for IMG Academy and is generally seen as a four-star prospect. He fits with Scheyer’s preference for taller players. Like a lot of young seven footers (he’s still 17), he’s growing into his body, but he sounds quite promising. […]
