Lewis, down to three finalists in Duke, Kentucky, and UConn, was in Durham for an official visit with the Blue Devils, just two months after touring the campus on an unofficial visit.

And on Sunday afternoon, Lewis became the first of this weekend's three recruiting visitors to post pictures from his official Duke basketball photoshoot. The collection of snaps below, courtesy of the coveted prospect's Instagram account, features Lewis sporting Blue Devil threads on Coach K Court, including one shot of him with his parents:
