Duke basketball: Blue Devils contact powerful 2022 big man

On Monday, the first day that college coaches could directly dial 2022 recruits, the Duke basketball staff sought to address future needs in the paint by reaching out to a 6-foot-10, 240-pound center who exhibits a strong collection of sure-footed post moves and a keen eye for rebounds.

Per a tweet from Stock Risers recruiting insider Jake Weingarten, North Dallas Adventist Academy (Texas) five-star Lee Dort saw his phone light up, hearing from Duke, Baylor, Memphis, Kansas, Illinois, Arizona, Mississippi State, UCLA, Oklahoma State, and Purdue.

Dort entered the day with roughly a dozen offers, mostly from schools in or around The Lone Star State.
