In the first week of the NCAA transfer portal, Duke basketball has experienced significant changes. The Blue Devils lost sophomore Darren Harris, who averaged 9.7 points per game, to Indiana, and freshman Nikolas Khamenia, who has yet to find a new team. Duke, which concluded its season with a 35-3 record and reached the Elite 8, is actively looking for new players to strengthen its roster. Notably, the team was in contention for Kansas transfer Flory Bidunga, who ultimately chose Louisville. Duke is also targeting Wisconsin guard John Blackwell, who averaged 19.1 points per game last season. Meanwhile, projected NBA draft picks Cameron Boozer and Isaiah Evans are likely to leave, while Patrick Ngongba II and Dame Sarr may return. Additionally, Duke is preparing to welcome a strong 2026 recruiting class, including top prospects Cameron Williams and Bryson Howard.
