Duke Lands Commitment from 7’1’’ Center Prospect

Florida and Stanford were Meyer's other choices, but he chose Duke to be his future home. Meyer is currently the No. 95 overall recruit in the Class of 2026. For reference, Howard was the No. 12-ranked player.

Shockingly, neither Florida nor Duke was in Meyer's original top six. Scheyer, who's looking to compete with women's coach Kara Lawson, now has a second name to add to his resume. He's still a bit behind Lawson's Class of 2026 for future Lady Blue Devils, but his ability to go out and get Meyer was a huge deal.

Michigan State, Ohio State, Saint Mary's, SMU, Vanderbilt, and Stanford were his original Top 6. In the end, five of those schools didn't make the cut to his Top 3. Duke managed to steal Meyer from a number of quality colleges, but in the end, the Blue Devils always find a way to come out on top.

Meyer Comments On His Commitment

"First, I would like to sincerely thank all the schools and coaches who showed interest in recruiting me this year," Meyer told 247Sports Travis Branham. "Huge thanks to my parents for making this journey possible, as well as all of my coaches, from Canada to IMG, who helped me along the way."

He continued, "I am honored to put on the Duke blue and play for Coach Scheyer. I look forward to joining the Brotherhood and attending Duke University. Go Blue Devils!"

The Blue Devils Class of 2026 now features two players, but Scheyer knows he still has plenty of work to do. Meyer was one of the tallest players on the board, but now he's officially committed to Duke.

This season, Duke doesn't have a single player taller than seven feet. Patrick Ngongba II and Ifeanyi Ufochukwu both stand 6'11'', but Meyer's 7'1'' stance will be a huge boost to a team that lacks in the height department.
