Duke basketball and the North Carolina Tar Heels won’t play each other on the court for a few months yet, but Jon Scheyer and Hubert Davis remain locked in competition on the recruiting trail.
Acaden Lewis, a four-star combo guard and a top-40 player in the Class of 2025, revealed his top four schools on Saturday. The Blue Devils and the Tar Heels made his final list alongside two-time defending national champion Connecticut and the Kentucky Wildcats.
Lewis, a 6-foot-2 and 170-pound guard, plays for the Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC. According to MaxPreps, he averaged 14.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.5 steals per game as a junior in 2023-24. He’s currently No. 32 on the 247Sports Rankings.
Lewis took an unofficial visit with the Blue Devils in early August, sharing some photos of himself in a Duke uniform on his social media page.
While the Huskies remain a threat for any elite talent thanks to their sales pitch of consecutive national championships, Lewis’s proximity to North Carolina means it shouldn’t surprise fans if this comes down to the Tar Heels and the Blue Devils.

There’s no potential timetable for a decision, however, so Lewis could end up at any of the four schools.
