David Duke — ESPN’s 54th ranked recruit in the class of 2018, and quite possibly Providence’s top remaining recruit for the upcoming season — has narrowed his list down to five.
Providence is among the finalists, joining a list that includes Villanova, Florida, Indiana, and Virginia Tech.
We’ve covered Duke extensively in this space, but for those in need of a refresher, he is a 6’3 point guard from Providence who transferred to Cushing Academy last season. It was at Cushing where Duke’s game and national reputation took off.
He was named 2nd Team All NEPSAC in March, as he and league player of the year Wabissa Bede led Cushing to the Class AA championship.
