Duke Blue Devils Basketball transfer portal tracker live updates, news on commits, departures from the program
The Duke Blue Devils are coming off an Elite Eight loss to the UConn Huskies and look towards the future. Jon Scheyer’s team entered the NCAA Tournament as the top-seed with the best shot of bringing home a title. Now they’ll reassess the roster for the 2026-27 season and try to make a few moves.
Duke finished the season 35-3 and the UNC loss being the only one in ACC play. But they’ll likely need to replace the production of AP Player of the Year Cameron Boozer, who is projected as a top-three pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Patrick Ngonbag is also a projected first-rounder this year in the latest mock. Two key pieces to Duke’s overall success.
Here’s where things stand with the Blue Devils in the transfer portal.
According to On3, Duke has very little movement in the first day of the transfer portal.
