Clint Jackson recently spoke with Olu Famutimi's guardian and summer coach Chris Grier about the 6'6 wing forward's recruitment and any new developments.

Grier says that Duke, who was long thought to be a second tier option by some within recruiting circles, recently sent some of the staff members up to watch Famutimi in action. Their presence didn't go unnoticed and has scored the Blue Devils a chance to get Famutimi to Durham on an unofficial visit as soon as possible. "It's very possible he'll be at the next home game on a Saturday or Sunday," said Grier.
Blue Devils, Missouri, Michigan, Michigan State, Syracuse and Louisville are all strong contenders with the Canada native.
Famutimi is expected to make an early decision.
