In November of 2017, one of Canada's brightest young basketball stars officially announced what college he would be committing to.
R.J. Barrett decided to take his talents to Duke and fans of the Blue Devils, along with Canadians were very excited about that decision.

It's going to be a treat to watch Barrett and Williamson tear it up at Duke and although there's still a lot of time before we see them on the court together, the basketball world is already extremely excited.
