During the upcoming season, Arizona State men’s basketball will host a charity exhibition game against Duke Blue Devils, bringing head coach Bobby Hurley back to his alma mater.
Hurley will play against Blue Devils head coach Jon Scheyer, another former Duke player, in the “Brotherhood Run” game. It takes place on Sunday, October 27, at 3:30 p.m. MST at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Duke Children’s Hospital will profit from the proceeds.
Hurley stated in a release, “I’m grateful to Jon Scheyer and Duke Basketball for working with Arizona State basketball to make this exhibition game a reality.” “Going back to Cameron Indoor will hold great meaning for me.
“Our squad is thrilled to get the chance to play a legendary basketball program before starting the regular season. It is extremely significant to both teams because Duke and Arizona State worked together to organize this charitable exhibition game in favor of Duke Children’s Hospital.
Hurley led Duke to a 119-26 (.821) record while playing there, shattering the record most lifetime assists for men’s basketball in the NCAA. In 1991 and 1992, the Blue Devils won crowns and advanced to three Final Fours.
The former Blue Devil has a 155-131 record at Arizona State and has guided the Sun Devils for ten seasons.
According to 247Sports.com’s team rankings, Duke’s top-ranked recruiting class will take on Hurley’s No. 9-ranked class of incoming freshmen in the exhibition.
In addition to guard Jared McCain and NBA Draft pick Kyle Filipowski, Duke’s top four scorers from the previous season were gone. However, they recruit power forward Cooper Flagg, who is mostly seen as the top overall prospect in the 2025 draft, and they bring back guard Tyrese Proctor. The most anticipated college talent since Zion Williamson graduated from Duke in 2019 is him.
The five-star big man at Arizona State, Jayden Quaintance, who is the highest-rated prospect to ever enroll at ASU, will face stiff competition from the 6-foot-9 Flagg and the five-star center Khaman Maluach.
Guard Joson Sanon, who reversed his pledge from the rival Arizona Wildcats and reclassified to begin college a year early, is another standout member of Arizona State’s recruiting class.
In their respective histories, Duke and ASU have only played once, at Madison Square Garden in 2009. With 16 points, Scheyer helped Duke win 64–53.
A Fresh Face to Note on the Duke Basketball Recruiting Trail.
Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, home of Duke basketball, and Broughton High School in Raleigh, where five-star Jordan Page is getting ready to maybe demolish the local competition as a sophomore, are only 25 miles apart.
At this early stage, the difference between Page and Jon Scheyer’s Blue Devils appears to be significant. Considering that the 6-foot-5, 190-pound wing has an advanced skill set that has earned him a No. 9 overall ranking on the 2027 ESPN 25, Durham recruiters should be paying close attention to him. Not to mention that this summer he called Duke a “dream school”
Furthermore, Rob Cassidy of Rivals reported on Wednesday that Page had already come under the notice of Duke’s two elite schools—UNC and Duke—as well as their archrival.
After observing Page, then 14 years old, hold his own against more experienced players at the USA Basketball Junior National Team Minicamp in Phoenix in early April, Eric Bossi, national recruiting analyst for 247Sports, made the following observations regarding Page’s skill and potential:
“He is a plus athlete with a long, slender physique, and he can jump shoot and drive with some degree of skill. He must undoubtedly continue to advance, because this is how high-major wings appear.”
Jordan Page is likely to be among the top prospects to receive an early offer from Duke basketball whenever Jon Scheyer and his team start to formally participate in 2027 competitions.
