The Duke Blue Devils are one of the premier programs in college basketball, and part of the legacy at Durham is that you’re expected to reload rather than rebuild. Jon Scheyer took Duke to the Elite Eight in his second season after replacing Mike Krzyzewski, but he will have to replace his four leading scorers from last year’s team. He hit the Duke basketball recruiting trail hard and secured the No. 1 recruiting class in 2024, according to the latest rankings from 247Sports.
However, with several actors leaving the show, Scheyer didn’t stop there. He was able to add some impact transfers into the college basketball transfer portal and Duke continues to hit the recruiting trail to meet any Duke basketball roster needs.

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.

Duke Basketball News, Roster
The cornerstone of Duke’s No. 1 recruiting class is Cooper Flagg, the No. 1 overall player in the 2024 class according to 247Sports and the favorite to go No. 1 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft. Flagg is a 6-foot-1 forward who should make an impact on both ends. He’s a three-level scorer, a willing passer, an elite off-ball defender and 247Sports Director of Scouting Adam Finkelstein described him as one of the best shot blockers he’s ever seen for his size.
However, Flagg is far from the only blue chip Scheyer has attracted. Khaman Maluach, Isaiah Evans, Kon Knueppel, Patrick Ngongba II and Darren Harris are all top-40 prospects in the class of 2024. Meanwhile, Scheyer also secured commitments in the transfer portal from Purdue wing Mason Gillis, Syracuse forward Maliq Brown and Tulane guard Sion James, who committed to the Blue Devils on May 10.
