Dukes puts hoops back in play
July 24, 2018
RB Michel Dukes of First Baptist wrote off basketball as a college career last spring and even decided not to play AAU ball this summer. Dukes has changed his mind. He is playing with Upward Stars on the AAU circuit and recently landed his first basketball offer from IUPUI. So, he might again consider doing the football-basketball double. But, football is still first on his list and he said he hears from USC recruiters Bobby Bentley and Pat Washington about every two weeks. He visited USC in June to watch camp. He also checked out the dorms and the academic side of campus on that visit. He also visited East Carolina in June. He said Virginia Tech, Arkansas, Oregon, North Carolina and Georgia State are also showing a lot of interest. He plans to take an official visit to Virginia Tech for the Notre Dame game if the Hokies are still strong with him then.
