The Blue Devils add another jewel to their recruiting class as The Terminator strikes again!
We didn’t much think that Acaden Lewis was going to choose Duke - he had multiple Crystal Balls for Kentucky and that’s what he chose Saturday afternoon - but our hopes were much higher for Shelton Henderson.
He didn't disappoint: Henderson stood up, turned around, and when he turned back he had revealed a Duke T-shirt.
He spoke about looking forward to playing with the Boozers and that he would bring a winning attitude to Cameron when he suits up for Jon Scheyer.
When we watch his video, what really jumps out at us is just how strong he is. He’s really powerful, to the extent that at one point we rewound to make sure we saw what we thought we saw. The kid has some serious strength.
His offensive ceiling is high but his immediate value will be on defense: he looks like he can defend almost any position on the court.
He really looks like a valuable addition.
Fun trivia: he goes to the same high school as Duke assistant Jai Lucas. Not exactly trivia: Lucas left Kentucky for whatever his reasons were to work with Scheyer. It’s paid off for both parties: Duke has been recruiting on a very high level and Lucas is obviously part of that.
