Lewis talks Syracuse

In a previous interview with On3, Acaden Lewis discussed his thoughts both Syracuse and Duke.

Syracuse: “Cuse has been recruiting me really hard. Coach Red, Straughn, Engelstad are just great guys. I like their system and they’ve done well with guys from my area in the DMV. I think that’s great.”

Duke: “Its the Brotherhood. That’s arguably the most historic basketball program in the NCAA. It’s just different up there. I haven’t been up there for any visits or anything but they’ve taken in a lot of DMV guys over the past couple of years, especially from PVI. They treat their guards well and me and Scheyer have a great relationship as well and the other coaches like Dildy.”
