Duke basketball: Sizing up the 10 finalists for five-star big man

Ranking the top 10 for Duke basketball target Charles Bediako: Michigan

During his first season at the helm of Michigan, Juwan Howard beat out Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski and his cohorts for a top-shelf 2020 giant in 7-foot-2 Hunter Dickinson. According to Eric Bossi of Rivals, like the Blue Devils, the Wolverines are definitely serious players in the pursuit of Charles Bediako, but he also pointed out that it’s entirely possible the Dickinson win could ultimately come back to haunt their pitch in this race:

“The Wolverines are another program that many recruiting Bediako believe to be in good shape. He’s going to need to be sold on the idea of playing alongside a true center like Hunter Dickinson, but the chance to expand his game and play more facing the basket could be appealing. The real sell here is Juwan Howard and his years of success in the NBA playing the same position as Bediako.”
