The Duke Blue Devils are one of college basketball's most successful programs and former Duke star Jon Scheyer is looking to continue the legacy created by Mike Krzyzewski. Coach K won the NCAA Tournament five times during his 42-year tenure at Duke and Scheyer has led Duke to back-to-back 27-9 seasons. However, he's losing his top four scorers from an Elite Eight team a season ago and will expect immediate returns from what many believe to be one of the best Duke basketball recruiting classes in recent memory. Anchored by No. 1 overall prospect Cooper Flagg, Duke has the No. 1 recruiting class in 2024 with four five-star prospects and two four-stars already signed.
Scheyer also welcomed in commits from the college basketball transfer portal and continues to work the recruiting trail to round out his Duke basketball roster after nine departures from last year's team.

Duke basketball news, roster
Scheyer's 2024 Duke basketball recruiting recruiting class is among the best at any program in recent college basketball history, rivaling some of John Calipari's one-and-done hauls at Kentucky. There are four five-star and two four-star recruits in the class, and all rank among the top 51 players in the nation, per 247Sports. Small forward Cooper Flagg and center Khaman Maluach are the cornerstones of the class. They rank No. 1 and No. 3, respectively, nationally and both are considered likely lottery picks in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Duke returns experience in the backcourt in guards Tyrese Proctor and Caleb Foster, so Flagg and Maluach should complement the existing roster well. To balance all the young talent coming in, Scheyer landed Purdue graduate transfer Mason Gillis and rising junior Maliq Brown from Syracuse. The Blue Devils remain active in recruiting the portal with three scholarships still open.Join The Devil's Den to see the latest Duke basketball roster news.
