4-Star Potential Duke Basketball Target Trevor Manhertz Cuts List Down to Three Schools

It was reported on Jan. 6 that Manhertz has shifted his focus to solely Duke, Indiana, and Louisville, and a decision for the forward is looming. Manhertz was originally a member of the 2026 recruiting class but elected to reclassify into the 2027 class this past summer. Now, he's weighing a potential switch back into 2026, and it looks to be more likely than not that Manhertz will rejoin the 2026 recruiting class.

Now, the Blue Devils have yet to offer the potential reclass candidate officially, but all signs point to Scheyer and Co. eventually pulling the trigger to try and bring Manhertz to Durham. The 4-star recruit has now officially visited all three programs he is still considering, and is now shifting to the analysis of each program and which system he fits in the best long-term.

Manhertz has the long-term potential to fit into Scheyer's system extremely well. He's regarded as one of the best shooters in his class with elite length, while also having tons of room to grow from a physical standpoint. He's become one of the biggest risers in his current class, although it's becoming much more of a reality that he returns to the class of 2026.

The Cary, NC native is very familiar with the Duke program, as Durham is just about a half hour away from where Manhertz grew up.

Scheyer and his staff have yet to do any serious work in terms of the 2027 recruiting class, but there's a good chance that Manhertz eventually becomes an addition to the Blue Devils' already top-ranked 2026 class. Duke has already sealed commitments from three 5-star recruits in Bryson Howard, Cameron Williams, and Deron Rippey Jr.
