Dame Sarr Joins Duke: Italian 5 Recruit Excited to Become a Blue Devil
Coach Jon Scheyer and the Duke Blue Devils are riding high after securing the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class, according to 247 Sports. Their standout additions include Cameron Boozer, ranked No. 3 nationally, and now Italy’s top prospect, Dame Sarr, has officially committed to Duke, bringing even more excitement to the program.
In a recent Instagram post, Sarr shared what drew him to Duke. “The brotherhood is a big family,” he said. “You can tell that every guy wants one another to succeed in basketball and in life, on and off the court. Making my decision, I spoke to a lot of people and heard only great things about this program. I feel very, very good about Duke and Coach Scheyer’s vision for me.”
Fans were quick to welcome Sarr, flooding the comments with enthusiasm. “Dame Sarr will be a household name 1 year from today. Book it,” one supporter confidently declared. Another praised the program, writing, “Duke is the best BB school. We can get into the tournament without our AD bribing the committee.” Many expressed eagerness to see Sarr in action, with one fan noting, “Ready to come from Italy to watch your matches next season.”
The excitement reflects hope that Duke’s impressive recruitment will translate to on-court success. “Need to use this talent and finally get one this year, this is our year!!” another fan commented, signaling high expectations for the team’s upcoming season.
Dame Sarr joins a formidable class that includes three five-star recruits: Cameron Boozer, his brother Cayden Boozer, and Nikolas Kahmenia. With this influx of talent, the Blue Devils are poised to remain among college basketball’s elite, especially as they prepare to fill gaps left by players moving on to the NBA, like Cooper Flagg.
As the new season approaches, Duke fans have plenty to look forward to. With Sarr added to the mix, the Blue Devils’ renewed roster promises thrilling basketball and a bright future under Coach Scheyer’s leadership.
