Five-star center Patrick Ngongba II announced his commitment to Duke on Saturday, opting for the Blue Devils over Kansas State and Kentucky.

Explaining his choice, Ngongba stated, “I chose Duke because it felt like home. I like their plan for me, and I trust the coaches. It is a place where we can win and help me get to the next level,” in an interview with ESPN.

Ngongba is ranked as the No. 19 player in the ESPN 100 for the 2024 class. With the recent commitment from Cooper Flagg earlier in the week, Duke now boasts the top-ranked recruiting class in the country.
