Duke recruit Kager Knueppel shines at Nike EYBL Peach Jam

Kager Knueppel, a Duke basketball commit for the 2027 class, concluded the AAU season positively at the Nike EYBL Peach Jam. He helped Team Herro reach the 17U semifinals, scoring 24 points on 8-of-13 shooting from three-point range in a loss to the Florida Rebels. Knueppel's strong performances throughout the event have increased his recruiting stock, placing him in the top 30 nationally. His abilities as a shooter mirror those of his brother, former Duke player Kon Knueppel. With his current momentum, Knueppel could climb even higher in rankings as the recruiting cycle progresses over the coming months.
