Recruiting:
Duke recently had in-homes with Tyus Battle who is a 2016 shooting guard & Brandon Ingram a small forward in the 2015 class.
Duke along with a few other schools were in to see 2016 bouncy point guard Dennis Smith. Duke Coaches Capel, Scheyer & K were all in attendance. A few of the other schools who attended were UNC, NC State & Wake Forest.
Per USAToday and prior to the Duke visit here is the Dennis Smith blog piece.
