Acaden Lewis at Duke's Countdown to Craziness
After head coach Jon Scheyer's invitations, Lewis was spotted along with other possible Duke recruits Nate Ament and Shelton Henderson at Duke's Countdown to Craziness on Friday. The event features a scrimmage between Duke players with the two teams being Team White and Team Blue.
They played two 10-minute games, with Team White winning the first (21-17) and Team Blue winning the second (37-21).
The crowd chanted "Sit with us!" when the three possible recruits arrived. The Blue Devils already have four 5-star recruits in the 2024-25 roster: Cooper Flagg (Montverde Academy), Khaman Maluach (NBA Academy Africa), Isaiah Evans (North Mecklenburg), and Kon Knueppel (Wisconsin Lutheran).
Scheyer has a strong roster heading into the new season. How far do you think the Blue Devils will go in the next season?
