Duke reached its fourth Elite Eight in the last six NCAA tournaments last season. The program showed no signs of decline from the passing of the Coach K era until Jon Scheyer took over as head coach. Scheyer, who played at Duke, began his coaching career under Coach K in 2013 before becoming head coach to begin the 2022-23 college basketball season. Duke went 27-9 in his first two seasons at the helm and reached the Elite Eight last year before falling to NC State 76-64. The Blue Devils’ new Duke basketball recruiting class features five five-star players from the class of 2024, with no other program having more than three thus far per 247Sports.

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
Duke landed the nation’s No. 1 recruit, Cooper Flagg, who also happens to be one of the hottest prospects in college basketball in recent years. The 6-foot-9 forward can shoot from outside and score near the basket, making him an all-around threat. He is the No. 1 overall player in the 2024 class by 247Sports and is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Flagg is more than just an offensive player, as he has ranked as one of the best off-ball defenders and shot blockers at his size in recent memory. Flagg starred at Montverde Academy, which went 33-0 and finished as the national high school basketball champion. Flagg had 16 points, eight rebounds and six blocks in the final game and even though he was surrounded by Division I talent, Flagg still consistently stood out as the elite option. His game should have no problem transferring to the college level and he will likely be one of the best players in college basketball for as long as he decides to stay in school.
