Duke Basketball Roster Undergoes Major Changes Ahead of 2024-25 Season
As Duke basketball fans eagerly await the upcoming 2024-25 college basketball season, the Blue Devils’ roster has undergone significant changes. Head coach Jon Scheyer, who took over the program last season, will be faced with the task of blending together a new group of players after several key departures.
The Blue Devils lost seven players to the transfer portal, two to the NBA Draft, and two who ran out of eligibility. Among the departures are top scorers Kyle Filipowski and Jeremy Roach, both of whom played crucial roles in Duke’s success last season. Filipowski is headed to the NBA Draft, while Roach has transferred to Baylor.
Despite the significant roster turnover, Duke managed to land the No. 1 recruit in the country, Cooper Flagg. The 6-foot-9 forward is considered one of the most exciting prospects in college basketball and is expected to make an immediate impact for the Blue Devils. Flagg’s versatility on both ends of the court makes him a valuable addition to the team.
With multiple scholarships still open, Duke remains active in the transfer portal, looking to add more talent to its roster. Fans can stay up-to-date on all the latest roster changes and insider information by joining The Devil’s Den, the 247Sports affiliate that covers the Duke Blue Devils.
