Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski didn't extend an offer to Montverde Academy (Fla.) small forward Caleb Houstan until late June, more than six months after Roy Williams invited the five-star to join his North Carolina program.
Now, the extra time could help the Tar Heels seeing that Houstan announced on Friday his decision to reclass to 2021, effectively speeding up and ramping up his recruitment. That said, given the 17-year-old's age and past hints at moving up a grade, the news should have come as no surprise to any of his serious suitors.
