It’s Duke basketball versus three others for a five-star 2021 sharpshooter.

Once again, the Duke basketball recruiters have entered the final stage of a five-star race. However, three others are in the mix as well, and it doesn’t appear as if the Blue Devils are the outright leaders. Plus, it’s a bit surprising the UNC basketball staff didn’t make the cut considering it had officially been in pursuit since January.

Montverde (Fla.) senior Caleb Houstan, a 6-foot-8, 205-pound versatile small forward who ranks No. 8 overall on the 247Sports 2021 Composite, announced his four finalists on Wednesday via Tipton Edits: Alabama, Duke, Michigan, and Virginia.
