The Duke basketball coaching staff will be visiting a local five-star recruit.
Jon Scheyer does not have to travel far to visit another Duke basketball recruit as the Blue Devil coaching staff will be in this week to see five-star small forward Trentyn Flowers out of Combine Academy (NC).
Jake Weingarten of StockRisers reported that Kansas and North Carolina visited the 6-foot-8 prospect on Monday while Duke, Louisville, Kentucky, Arizona, and Texas are expected to come through the school throughout the rest of the week.
Flowers is ranked as the No. 19 prospect in the Class of 2024, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, while also being listed as the No. 6 small forward in his class and the second best recruit in the state of North Carolina.
