Marcus Lee Sets Duke Visit

Marcus Lee was one of several recruits impressed this summer with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s ability to simultaneously coach Team USA and stay in contact with recruits.

Lee described Coach K as having “crazy energy” when he does text recruits.

“Even when we’re texting I have to use way too many exclamation points just to keep up,” Lee said this summer.

Now Lee will get a chance to meet with Coach K in person when the 6-foot-9 forward from Antioch (Calif.) Deer Valley visits Duke Oct. 27-28.

“It’s Duke,” Brian Lee, Marcus’s brother, told SNY.tv. “Coach K’s guys are very disciplined and play hard. He knows he’ll get great coaching.”

Lee recently visited UCLA and Cal unofficially.

He trips to Louisville (Sept. 7), Kentucky (Oct. 12) and Indiana (Oct. 20), and will have an in-home visit Oct. 6 with Kansas and Oct. 16 with Kentucky.
