2017 SG Alex O'Connell Commits to Duke

Posted Aug 26, 2016
The word was that if Duke chose to offer four-star shooting guard Alex O'Connell that they would be tough to beat. That proved true on Friday when the 6-foot-6 shooting guard from Milton (Ga.) High committed to the Blue Devils just two days after receiving a scholarship offer. O'Connell -- whose father played for the Blue Devils during the 1970's -- is Duke's first pickup from the class of 2017. (Rivals.com)
