Even with one of the most stacked incoming freshman classes in the country, Duke isn’t resting on tradition alone. The Blue Devils have already secured commitments from five-star forward Cameron Boozer and his twin brother, Cayden Boozer—two of the most coveted names in the 2025 recruiting class. And the roster was already shaping up to be one of the most competitive in college basketball.
Still, Duke isn’t content to stand pat.
According to CBS Sports, the Blue Devils are actively exploring the transfer portal for additional pieces to complement their youthful core. While Duke has long been known for its success developing NBA-ready talent from the high school ranks, the evolution of the college game—particularly with the growing influence of the portal—has prompted even the most tradition-rich programs to adapt.
Head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff are proving to be savvy in navigating this new era, balancing elite high school recruits with experienced transfer targets. With eyes on top prospects like Jalen Haralson and Dwayne Aristode Brewster, the Blue Devils are aiming to build a roster that blends top-tier talent with versatility and depth.
Key Players and Potential Additions:
Recruits: Cameron Boozer & Cayden Boozer – High-IQ forwards and sons of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, these twins headline Duke’s future frontcourt.
With the perfect blend of blue-chip freshmen, seasoned returners, and potential portal pickups, Duke is positioning itself not just for success in 2025—but for sustained dominance in the years to come.
