Re: Jackson Williams 2026 PG/SG
Thanks PR2 another awesome prospect! Love the prep school guys who have extra year of experience before college.
So based on all the activity for 2026 would you say our roster is now complete for 2025?
Go Dukes

Re: Jackson Williams 2026 PG/SG
I was thinking the same way. I’m not a fan of having too many on the roster. In today’s game it can lead to discontent.

Re: Jackson Williams 2026 PG/SG
I think Max will be coming back. He'll be a senior, and pretty sure would have committed somewhere else by now. He took forever last year before committing to Duquesne. After Max, the Dukes still have one more scholarship which I believe will be either Peyton Gerald from Florida Southern who would be an awesome get or Dean from Fordham who is solid and can play the 3 or 4.

Great News. I can't take credit for calling that one though Phoenix. I heard rumors through X via Tristan, Jonny, and others. Made a lot of sense.

It looks like Peyton Gerald would be a perfect fit for the Dukes.

Couldn't agree more.
This could be another special season like 23-24 or, dare I say, beyond it!
Don't want to count too many chickens just yet!!

Re: Jackson Williams 2026 PG/SG
I think Jackson is visiting DU right now.
This is from a late May evaluation on Prep Hoops:
"I’ve been impressed with Williams ability to impact the game on both ends of the court from the first time I watched him play at Spire and he continues to impress even against top competition. Williams has the physical frame and athleticism to be an impact defender and his best defensive play came when he blocked a shot and then sprinted down the court and finished on the fast break with a slam dunk. Williams has become a priority for mid major programs and I expect him to draw a lot of attention during the live period this coming weekend."
In Ohio he is rated as the #9 overall player & #4 SG in the class of 2026.
Interestingly, 2 of the 3 SGs rated higher are on his team & Top 60 national recruits.
He has at least 15 offers including Dayton, Richmond, & George Mason.
This is his list of official visits:
Sept 4-6: Boston U
Sept 10-12: Duquesne
Sept 12-14: Miami (OH)
Sept 18-21: Liberty
Sept 25-27: UC San Diego
Oct 2-4: FAU

Re: Jackson Williams 2026 PG/SG
Based on what recruiting services have published about Jackson's summer, he is very much on the rise & has been overlooked due to the star power at his position at SPIRE. I feel like Dru & staff got through to him at the perfect time. I am excited about this player. Welcome to DU!
Now the staff has to close the deal with Donovan Williams Jr. & Shane Pendergrass!
