Duke basketball: Three 2023 recruits who should land Blue Devil offers

Potential 2023 Duke basketball recruiting targets: Jeremiah Johnson

• Current position: Point guard
• Height: 6-foot-2
• Weight: 160 pounds
• Initial rating: Four stars
• Overall ranking: No. 16

Thus far, the recruitment of Putnam City North (Okla.) point guard Jeremiah Johnson has primarily been a local one. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are the only two programs to have extended an offer.
