Coatesville Area (Pennsylvania) High School forward Colton Hiller is one of the most highly touted players in the Class of 2028, ranking third among all five-star prospects per 24/7 Sports. Over the past few years, Hiller has bedazzled both the high school scene and the international landscape with his elite sharpshooting and lengthy frame.
Hiller, who has been linked to the powerhouse Duke Blue Devils for some time, confirmed on Monday on Instagram that Jon Scheyer’s program has officially sent him an offer. Duke will have to wait until the 2028-29 season for Hiller, who will be a junior this season, unless he reclassifies.
“Duke offered!!,” Hiller captioned.
