Duke is now recruiting 2015 guard Montaque “Teki” Gill-Caesar and 2015 forward Thomas Bryant of Huntington (W.V.) Prep.
“Yes,” Gill-Caesar told SNY.tv by text. “They contacted [Huntington Prep coach] Rob [Fulford].”
The news was first reported by Ben Roberts of NextCats.
The 6-foot-6 Gill-Caesar, a Canadian who has drawn comparisons to Andrew Wiggins, has offers from Michigan State, Baylor, Illinois, Ohio State, Purdue and UCF. He says that Kentucky has not officially offered, but he is under the impression he can go there if he wants. He may reclass to 2014 from 2015 and has said he may decide on a school in the spring.
The 6-10 Bryant is being courted by Syracuse, North Carolina, Villanova, West Virginia, Arizona, Florida, Florida State and Miami, among others.
In other Duke news, they were supposed to watch 2015 small forward Matt Ryan of Iona Prep tonight (Friday), but will do so another time.
