After reclassifying from the Class of 2026 to 2025, Alijah Arenas will play his senior year at Chatsworth High School now. Arenas took to Instagram to hype Duke freshman Isiah Evans after the latter's stellar performance against Auburn on December 4. Evans came off the bench to play for 16 minutes and buried six of eight attempted three-pointers to gain the lead for the Blue Devils.

Duke Men's Basketball Instagram page posted a few pictures of Evans with the caption "SLIM IS HIM" and Alijah Arenas took to his Instagram story to reshare the post and tag Isiah Evans:

"@showtime.slim!!!," Alijah Arenas captioned the story.

Evans was unstoppable from beyond the arc as he scored all his 18 points from beyond the arc. He was subbed in with 12:40 left to play in the first half and converted four three-pointers to get Duke back into the game. Blue Devils' star Cooper Flagg also finished with a double-double with 22 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks.

Another player that scored in double digits after coming off the bench was Caleb Foster who scored 11 points and had two assists in 20 minutes.

The 6-foot-6 freshman has played five games for the Blue Devils and is averaging 9.4 ppg, 1.2 rpg, and 0.4 apg while shooting 50% from the field as well as the three-point line. His performance against Auburn also got him praise from two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant:

"isaiah evans !!!," tweeted Morant after Evans' spectacular game.

He also scored 14 points, grabbed one rebound, and dished out one assist in the 86-35 win against the Wofford Terriers while shooting 50% including 57.1% from beyond the arc.


Will Alijah Arenas join Isaiah Evans at Duke?

While Arenas previously had another year to think about college after reclassifying, he will have to make his decision soon. According to On3, Alijah Arenas has received 20 offers from programs such as UCLA, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, Oklahoma State, and more.

Sports Illustrated reported that head coach Jon Scheyer is interested in the 6-foot-5 shooting guard, but an offer has not been sent yet.

According to On3's recruitment prediction machine, UCLA is leading the race to sign Arenas with a 34.4% probability. They are followed by Arizona with 30.1% chance, Fresno State with 2.3% prediction, and the rest of the colleges with a 2.0% chance of landing the Chatsworth, CA native.

Which college will we see Arenas play for?
