By ADAM ZAGORIA

In the latest sign of his escalating recruitment, Jaiden Delaire met Monday in North Carolina with Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Delaire is a 6-foot-9 power forward from Loomis Chaffee (CT) ranked No. 21 at his position in the Class of 2019 by 247Sports.com. He is currently in North Carolina with his NE6 AAU program, which runs on the Under Armour circuit.

“My understanding is that they’re evaluating him this summer,” Loomis Chaffee head coach Rock Battistoni said Tuesday by phone. “[Duke assistant Jon] Scheyer has been calling for a little bit. They’re going to keep an eye on him just like most staffs do with most kids.”

The meeting was first reported by Andrew Slater.
