How about Jaylen Fisher? He can score and his a/t ratio looks good.

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things. - Winston Churchill

Vernon Carey, Jr. and Wendell Moore named McDonald's All-Americans and will be teammates on the East squad.
Duke target Matthew Hurt was also named a "Burger Boy" and will be on the West squad.
Duke commit Boogie Ellis didn't make the final roster
Boogie took to social media to demonstrate his veiled displeasure at being left off the McD's list. Perhaps it'll give him a productive chip on his shoulder for next season. I'm actually quite surprised that he didn't climb up the recruiting ranks, given what we've heard about his play over the last few months--and given that, equally surprised his name didn't find its way onto the Burger Boy list.
I'd also find that interesting. While definitely NOT the same, there is an example a hilarious/brutal reunion of sorts when Kevin Stallings tried to block Sheldon Jeter from transferring from Vanderbilt to Pittsburgh while he was HC at Vanderbilt...only to subsequently become the HC of Pittsburgh and Sheldon Jeter. Ooof.
Handsome Tony "steals" one from the Triangle area MBB coaches:

"Shedrick, the Golden Hawks 6-11 center is heading to the University of Virginia next season after committing to Tony Bennett and the Cavaliers in August. The No. 3 player in the state according to 247sports, Shedrick has seen his stock rise in the rankings. A late bloomer who didn’t start playing basketball full-time until his junior year of high school, Shedrick will head to Charlottesville with realistic expectations of his future."

Chase told an announcer at an earlier Arizona game that he loved Duke University -- he was on the All-ACC Academic team in 2016 and 2017 -- but didn't like the basketball program. Forget Chase.
Derryck is also unlikely, but he was reportedly pressured to transfer against his personal preferences, so one can imagine some interest on his part, particularly if he is in position to graduate from USC. But, in general, You Can't Go Home Again.

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
No way to control a student’s family. This could be another Lavar Ball situation. In other words Duke should stay as far away from this kid as possible. Besides, Thornton was a PG who under the pressure of big games had very iffy handles, could not pass particularly well, and was not a good shooter. Perhaps he has improved considerably in these three areas; I don’t know. But the history of how poorly his time at Duke ended is more than enough reason to stay away.

Paul Biancardi of ESPN has a brief interview with Vernon Carey, Jr. on being named a McDonald's All-American (https://twitter.com/PaulBiancardi/st...83809749889025).
In spite of being a high-major prospect for years and son of an NFL All-Star, Carey, Jr. has a very humble persona. The kid does not brag.
He'll be on ESPN2 this evening at 8 p.m. Eastern.
