Five-star power forward Mackenzie Mgbako decommits from Duke: Where could he land?
New York TimesMackenzie Mgbako has decommitted from Duke, he announced on social media Tuesday. Here’s what you need to know: The 5-star power forward out of New Jersey committed to Duke last April as the highest-ranked commitment at the time. With Kyle Filipowski returning, Duke suddenly had something of a roster crunch on the wing, where all of Filipowski, Mgbako, and Sean Stewart ideally play the power forward position. — Marks What it means for Blue Devils It’s impossible to say this isn’t a loss for Duke because Mgbako is a top-10 recruit for a reason and a likely lottery pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. This isn’t a true trade-off with Mgbako and Filipowski, but the two situations are certainly connected, and it ends with Duke losing its highest-rated recruit this cycle.
