Duke basketball recruiting efforts are escalating, as one giant may attest.

At this point, Westtown (Pa.) center Dereck Lively is looking more and more like a potential Tobacco Road college hoopster. If so, then the 7-foot-1, 220-pound four-star would likely end up either of the Duke basketball or UNC variety.

Of course, this wouldn’t be the first time a recruiting battle features those blueblood rivals. And it surely won’t be last.

Per a tweet this week from Stock Risers recruiting insider Jake Weingarten, Lively has scheduled only two official visits to date.
