The transition from Coach K to Jon Scheyer as head coach of Duke basketball has been seamless, at least as far as recruiting goes, as the Duke Blue Devils have the No. 1 entering class, according to 247Sports. Duke basketball has earned five 5-star players, while no other program has more than three 5-star players. Duke basketabll’s recruits are highlighted by consensus No. 1 prospect Cooper Flagg, who is already the favorite to be selected first overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, as the forward helps give Scheyer his second No. 1 class overall in three seasons as the head coach of Duke men’s basketball.
The Blue Devils have positioned themselves in the frontcourt on the Duke basketball recruiting trail, as Flagg will be flanked by fellow freshmen Isaiah Evans and Kon Knueppel, who are top-five prospects at their positions. Additionally, the Duke basketball roster also landed two top-five centers in Khaman Maluach and Patrick Ngongba II. Winning the college basketball off-season is one thing, but will this talent allow Duke to win when it matters most in March?

Duke Basketball Roster Matches
Scheyer will essentially have a new roster for this upcoming season, as the Blue Devils lost seven players to the 2024-25 college basketball transfer portal, two more to the NBA Draft and two who were left without eligibility. The team’s four leading scorers are gone, including All-American Kyle Filipowski (16.4 ppg) as well as four-year starter Jeremy Roach (14 ppg). Filipowski went to the NBA Draft, while Roach transferred to Baylor.
Jared McCain (14.3 ppg) also went to the pros, while Mark Mitchell (11.6 ppg) went to Missouri. That means only two players who scored points for Duke last season are returning, Tyrese Proctor and Caleb Foster — neither of whom were seniors. While Duke did land some fifth-year veterans from the transfer portal, Scheyer will be tasked with combining all of those moving parts, but given the talent he’s working with, it’s a good problem to have.
