Class of 2026 PG Deron Rippey Jr. (NY/NJ) to Duke

[cuseallday]

Deron Rippey Jr., a fast-rising 2026 point guard, has been offered by Syracuse, his dad told me not too long ago. Rippey plays at the Blair Academy in NJ (former home of Kyle Cuffe) and for the NYC-based New Heights Lightning on the EYBL circuit.

Ron Ron was a finalist for the u16 USA National Team...

What a name

 

[cuseallday]

Yeah, he was awesome at Peach Jam and played well at the U16 national team training camp. I'm catching up with his dad for a story, and I'd expect an unofficial visit to SU this fall.

 

[Wrinkle]

Good offer definitely a player

What a name

Any relation to Rodney Allen?

 

[Orangezoo]

Love the no fear attitude going hard after the best of the best guards in the country.

Judah with a better jumper?

Wrote about that yesterday! I talked to Deron's dad a couple of times in recent days. High interest in SU. His dad played hoops growing up against the late Conrad McRae, RIP.
Syracuse Basketball: Brooklyn PG, top-25 player, excited by offer, will visit

Kentucky assistant Chuck Martin was in to see Rippey today as well (it won’t let me link tweets on here I’m not sure why)

 

[cuseallday]

Yeah, I talked to Deron's dad, he confirmed Kentucky was in, along with Griffin. I'll certainly be curious if UK offers. Arkansas is showing interest as well...

Any relation to Rodney Allen?

My first thought as well.

Got a little scoop, Deron to take an unofficial to 'Cuse later this month:

I'll be checking in with Deron's dad to see how the visit goes!

Caught up with Deron's dad as they started their drive up to 'Cuse, he's excited, I'll get more information after the visit is over. Deron just got an Illinois offer, BTW.
