The Duke Blue Devils have learned that 7-foot center Stanley Borden, a fan favorite walk-on, has entered the transfer portal. Borden, a four-year member of the team, saw action in five games, playing in mop-up duty and contributing three rebounds, one block, and one foul in his Duke career.
Borden’s Time at Duke
Borden earned notoriety for his appearance at Duke’s Countdown to Craziness event, where he played a saxophone rendition of “Careless Whisper.” Despite his limited playing time, Borden was known for his hard work in practice against the team’s top players.
What’s Next for Borden?
Borden’s decision to enter the transfer portal comes as a surprise to many Duke fans. It’s unclear what his next steps will be or where he might continue his collegiate basketball career.
Impact on Duke
The good news for Duke is that Borden is the only player to enter the transfer portal so far this offseason. However, the Blue Devils still face uncertainty surrounding the future of star player Cooper Flagg, who has been weighing his options for the upcoming season.
