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.

Duke transfer portal rumors:
April 10: Kansas center Flory Bidunga is “scheduled to see Duke,” according to On3’s Jaime Shaw. The top big man in the portal would make a perfect addition to Scheyer’s rotation.
April 10: Alabama Transfer Aiden Sherrell will meet with Duke coaches, according to multiple sources and first reported by TheDukeNation. The 6-foot-11, 255 pounds forward averaged 11 points and 6 rebounds with the Tide last season.
April 9: Duke transfer guard Darren Harris will visit Indiana (April 11th) and Virginia (April 14th), according to Sam Kayser.

April 9: There hasn’t been much movement from Duke in the transfer portal during the initial first days. This seems very calculated by Jon Scheyer and his staff to get the right talent in Durham. With two NBA first-rounders on the roster, replacing them (when they enter the draft) will be the priority.

April 9: Kansas State’s Abdi Bashir Jr. is receiving interest from Duke coaches, according to Sam Kayser.
April 8: Duke was reportedly in a three-team race with Michigan and UNC for Wake Forest’s Juke Harris. However, this was a false report off what On3’s Joe Tipton was reporting. Duke has not been involved with the ACC rival.

April 7: Kansas center Flory Bidunga is one of the top players in the transfer portal. The Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year could find himself at home in Durham. According to On3, “Two early schools to watch are Michigan and Duke. Both teams were involved in his high school recruitment”
April 7: Wisconsin guard John Blackwell is one of the top guards to hit the portal. The All-Big Ten selection averaged just over 19 points per game. Duke was mentioned by On3 as a possible landing spot.
The spring basketball transfer portal window opened on April 7 and will remain open until April 21.
