Does Duke basketball still have any prayer in the battle for Caleb Houstan?
The Duke basketball program has never been the presumed frontrunner for Montverde (Fla.) senior Caleb Houstan, who ranks No. 8 overall on the 247Sports 2021 Composite and picked up an offer from Mike Krzyzewski in June. That said, the Blue Devils do possess a few possible advantages in their pursuit of the 6-foot-8, 205-pound sharpshooter.
First, it can’t hurt that Houstan plays for the same prep academy as RJ Barrett and also hails from the same hometown — Mississauga, Ont.
