Beloved Duke Basketball One-And-Done Crashes Caleb Foster’s Photoshoot

Caleb Foster arrived in Durham as a lifelong Blue Devil fan and one of four composite five-star talents in a 2023 Duke basketball recruiting haul that ranked No. 2 in the country.

“And his brother, Jayce [McCain], is here; he’s my player development coach. Anytime I call, want to get in the gym, Jayce is there…I’ve got love for the McCain family. I feel like they’re my family at this point.”

The feeling is clearly mutual, evidenced by McCain’s giant smile at the photoshoot and comments about Foster.
