Duke Blue Devils Offseason Moves: Pursuing John Blackwell to Strengthen Roster
The Duke Blue Devils had a strong season, winning the ACC regular season and tournament titles, but fell short in the NCAA Tournament. Despite this, they are making moves in the offseason to bolster their roster. Head coach Jon Scheyer secured a commitment from former Belmont Bruins forward Drew Scharnowski and is now eyeing former Wisconsin Badgers guard John Blackwell. Blackwell had an impressive season in the Big Ten, earning All-Big Ten honors and putting up solid numbers. Duke is in a good position to land Blackwell, but faces competition from other schools like Illinois, Alabama, Arizona, Louisville, and UCLA. If Blackwell joins the Blue Devils, it would be a significant addition to their transfer class and help fill the void left by departing players.
