Advanced Duke Basketball Target Planning Official Visit to Durham. Duke basketball will welcome five-star forward Koa Peat in the fall.
Koa Peat, a rising senior at Perry High School in Arizona, has yet to announce dates for an official visit with the Duke basketball program. However, the 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward, one of numerous 2025 prospects competing for the USA Basketball U17 National Team at the current FIBA U17 World Cup in Istanbul, has listed the Blue Devils as one of the colleges he will visit in the coming months.
On Wednesday, after the five-star bruiser’s 22 points in Team USA’s 96-point victory over the Philippines in the Round of 16, HS Top Recruits confirmed that Peat, who ranks No. 5 overall and No. 3 among power forwards on the 247Sports 2025 Composite, “is planning official visits this fall to Arkansas, Baylor, and Duke.”

Most recently, he paid an official visit to Houston in early June. Last year, he traveled to UNC, Texas, and Michigan.
In January, Koa Peat announced the ten finalists: Duke, UNC, Michigan, Texas, Houston, Baylor, Arizona, Arizona State, Kentucky, and UCLA. However, due to offseason coaching changes, he has intimated that his recruitment will be open to other suitors.
Koa Peat has been awesome for the Compton Magic this year – 20.7 PPG & 7.3 RPG
Koa has good size at 6’8 with a strong frame. Gets to his spots with strength, pace, and an effective handle. Can face you up or back you down.

Given his vacation plans and the possibility of a reopened race, Peat does not appear to be in a hurry to choose a collegiate destination.
He is one of a dozen prospects in his class with a Duke basketball offer.
