Duke point guard Tyus Jones announced Wednesday that he will move on to the NBA after one season with the Blue Devils.
That means Coach Mike Krzyzewski is looking for a new point guard, and his No. 1 target is one of John Calipari’s biggest recruiting priorities for the class of 2016.
Findlay Prep (Nev.) star Derryck Thornton will host Krzyzewski on Monday as he continues to consider reclassifying to 2015 so he can play college basketball next season. If Thornton does make the jump to 2015, he will choose either Duke or Louisville.
If Thornton stays in 2016, UK remains one of the top schools on his list.
