Episode 38: Decision Day (ft. Duke commit Deron Rippey, Jr. & Deron Rippey, Sr.)

In the latest episode of the Pro Insight Podcast, Pro Insight's Conrad Chow sat down with 2026 five-star point guard and newest Duke commit Deron Rippey Jr., along with his father Deron Rippey Sr.

Rippey chose the Blue Devils over NC State, Tennessee, Miami, and Texas, officially joining The Brotherhood alongside Cameron Williams, Bryson Howard, and Maxime Meyer as Duke pushes toward the top of the 2026 recruiting class rankings.

This summer, Rippey established himself as one of the premier point guards in his class, averaging 15.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, while shooting 38.1% from three with New Heights on the Adidas 3SSB circuit.

Ahead of his official announcement at the Major R. Owens Health & Wellness Community Center, we break down his journey, what his dad is most proud of, his loyalty to Blair Academy and pursuit of another state title, why he chose Duke, the message from Coach Scheyer and the staff, and much more.
