The Duquesne men’s basketball staff extended an offer to a prospect from the Windy City on Wednesday.
Andre Tyler, a 6-foot-5 combo guard out of Chicago, Illinois, announced that he has received an offer from the Dukes’ staff. Taylor plays his high-school ball for basketball powerhouse Simeon Career Academy, the same school that produced Benji Wilson, Derrick Rose, Jabari Parker, Talen Horton-Tucker, and many more talented players.
Taylor holds offers from Illinois, DePaul, Eastern Illinois, Northern Illinois, and now Duquesne.
This offer comes one day after the Dukes’ staff offered James Turner, a class-of-2026 forward out of Kentucky. He plays his high-school ball for Newport and his summer ball for Wildcat Select, a program based in the Western PA region.
Turner is unranked on 247 Sports, but holds other Division One offers from Penn State, Rhode Island, Kent State, College of Charleston, Stony Brook, Radford, IU-Indianapolis, and Jackson State.
The Dukes’ staff has now offered four players since the beginning of August: Tyler, Turner, Aaron Ekwere, and Logan Johnson. The staff also offered six players throughout July, three players in June, and three players in May. One of the players that received an offer from the staff in May was Arness Lawson, who recently committed to the Dukes after taking an official visit.
