Duke Boman @duke_bowman, 6'3 , 180, c/o 26 from Shiloh Christian School, AR is a dynamic young mystro with that ball.. A triple threat scoring option with a silky smooth touch from downtown.with an explosive first step off the bounce and a fierce finisher inside. With an extremely high IQ and court vision that makes him a matchup nightmare. Duke has a wicked scoop shot that he is creative and creative getting off. Duke is jaw dropping passer and huge gobbling up boards. And Duke is a solid defender who can use that nice speed and IQ to shoot the gap and turn defense into offense in a flash.
This past season Duke averaged 14.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal per game. Duke is entering this AAU session on the mission of putting on a clinic on the Recruit Look Circuit to get the attention of coaches and gain the interest of making sure they remember his name and look forward to catching another show. Duke's favorite AAU highlight from last year was during a Recruit Look Hoops Tournament in KC last summer he was recognized as a top performer of the day with 25 points(4-3s) in the second half to help his team win the game. Duke's biggest improvement has been learning how to create his own shot while being face guarded.. The defining moment for Duke during the season was in the game versus McDonald County where he had his season high 33 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.
Duke had himself an incredible season and reeled in all kinds of awards as a varsity starter as as a Freshman and a Sophomore 2x All- Conference and All- State honorable mention as a Sophomore, and team only awards included 2x Offensive Player of the Year,2x Leading scorer and the teams leading rebounder. Sum this gem up in one word "STUD", already a prime time performer no where else to go but up. Duke's goals for the upcoming season is to make First Team All-State and increase his scoring to 20 points per game while leading his team to that illusterous State tournament.
Coaches should know that Duke's work ethic, his academics and his relationship with his teammates sets him apart . That work ethic is second to none and is why he is a lethal sniper . Duke gives 110% in every practice and every game and spends countless hours in training and shooting at his home, at school and at various gyms. No days off as he is always perfecting those nice skills. Duke, understanding that academic excellence is equally important , maintains a 4.0gpa and plans to study law in college. And Duke takes great pride in his relationships with his teammates both on and off the court. It was at this moment uke could see and feel all his hard work paying off. Duke is pretty open to any division level opportunity but like every high level ball the dream is D1. Duke is counting on the track record of success on both his school and AAU teams combined with his high academic achievement will secure that dream. In my assessment the question isn't will he be D1 but what level of D1 will he develop to be. Only thing that he needs to add is lockdown D to be that versatile high level D1 every coach dreams of. It's already solid too, but lockdown defenders are priceless..
