Welcome to Duke D.J. Steward!

[Hartford Dukie]

I just saw a report that DJ Steward (#26 in the Summer RSCI) verbally committed to Duke this afternoon, so I guess we can all be happy.

A DJ Steward tidbit the board might be interested in…

As a High School Freshman, DJ Steward had a very Laettner-like perfect game shooting the ball in the 2017 Illinois Class 3A State Championship Game.
At that time, he was playing for Fenwick High School and scored a game-high 26-points on 10-for-10 shooting from the field (including a pair of 3-pointers) and 4-for-4 at the free throw line.

Unfortunately – for me and my alma mater – the Friars came up short in OT against a very good Morgan Park and lost 69-67.

Steward attended Fenwick for his Freshman and Sophomore years and transferred to Whitney Young prior to his Junior year.
If Fenwick sounds familiar to you, it is the high school alma mater of former Blue Devils Corey Maggette and Trisha Liston.

I didn’t see this video from DJ’s Twitter account posted.

Worth a watch.

Definitely worth a watch. I love his game. Welcome to the brotherhood.

Love that we’ve gotten off to such an early start on the 2020 class with three five-stars in Johnson, Roach, and now Steward. These guys didn’t need to wait and see how the roster shakes out, who else commits and who leaves early, etc. They just knew that Duke was the right place for them. Steward has some great quotes in the originally linked article about how he wasn’t planning to commit this soon but he went on his visit and was just blown away and knew that Duke is the place for him.

Now we need to land some bigs!
