Will Matthew Hurt Come To Duke?

Earlier this week point guard Tre Jones announced he would be returning for his sophomore season.

With Tre Jones returning will power forward Matthew Hurt commit to Duke although he has other schools that are blue bloods on his list that include Kentucky , Kansas as well as Duke’s tobacco road rival North Carolina ?

Jones — a fellow Minnesota native — sounded like he was at the top of the list, however, as far as point guards that would be the best fit for Hurt next season. “If you’re a guy that doesn’t have the ball in your hands a lot, you want to know who’s going to be facilitating for you,” Richard Hurt said, specifically mentioning Jones’ point guard abilities. “according to https://www.kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-recruiting/article228990159.html

Jones averaged 5.3 assists and just 1.5 turnovers per game this past season, setting the table for super recruits Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish, and he’d likely have an even larger offensive role next season. Duke is also bringing in five-star small forward Wendell Moore and five-star center Vernon Carey — both McDonald’s All-Americans — along with top-50 guard Boogie Ellis. “according to https://www.kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-recruiting/article228990159.html
