On the court, McCain led Centennial to a Southern Section Open Division championship while averaging 17.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and four assists. The consensus five-star prospect will continue to build on his $1.2 million NIL valuation and join Foster at Duke after choosing the Blue Devils over Gonzaga, Houston, Louisville, UCLA and others.
