The early start to Cedric Coward's pro career makes sense. After all, the 6-foot-5, 213-pound prospect shined at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago earlier this month and is now projected as a first-rounder across several mock drafts and big boards.

Duke added even more firepower to its already-loaded incoming 2025 recruiting class Friday with Wolfeboro (N.H.) Brewster Academy four-star power forward Sebastian Wilkins committing to the Blue Devils and reclassifying from the 2026 class to the Class of 2025.

A prized commitment from the transfer portal, former Washington State guard Cedric Coward will not play for the Duke Blue Devils after all.
