One of the top prospects in the nation, Acaden Lewis, is part of the ongoing Peach Jam games in North Augusta. His Team Durant did not make the cut for the Peach Jam's main event and participated through the Peach Invitations tournament (PIT) in the annual event.
Nevertheless, Acaden Lewis was one of the highly pursued prospects of the tourney as renowned NCAAMB coaches lined up to watch the 4-star prospect in action.
Head coaches in North Augusta to watch Lewis at Peach Jam's PIT
Dusty May (Michigan Wolverines), Dan Hurley (UConn Huskies), Jon Scheyer (Duke Blue Devils), Bruce Pearl (Auburn Tigers), Ed Cooley (Georgetown Hoyas), Mark Pope (Kentucky Wildcats) and Red Autry (Syracuse Orage) were reportedly on the sidelines to watch Acaden Lewis play on July 14.
Lewis is a combo guard hailing from Washington and has seen a surge in his recruiting profile in recent months. He has recently disclosed Kentucky, UConn, Tennessee, North Carolina, Michigan, Duke, Syracuse and Auburn as his top-8 choices of college programs which hints at the possible reason behind the lineup of head coaches at his game.
With unofficial visits to UConn, Kentucky, and Tar Heels, Lewis plans to stop by his top-8 schools for official visits.
