Duke basketball appears to be advancing in its efforts to recruit a highly coveted guard from a mid-major program. Historically, Duke has not heavily pursued top-tier transfers since the emergence of the transfer portal, typically opting for veteran players to provide depth and leadership from the bench. However, there’s a shift underway, with coach Jon Scheyer and his team actively pursuing notable names in the transfer portal, aiming to secure impactful additions to their lineup.
Recent developments suggest that Duke is making strides in its recruitment efforts, with Syracuse transfer Maliq Brown visiting and another potential addition, Dayton transfer guard Koby Brea, narrowing down his options to eight schools, including Duke. Brea, known for his exceptional three-point shooting, is considering several prominent programs, with Duke being one of his top choices.

Given Duke’s recent departures to the NBA and the transfer portal, there’s a clear need for talented guards to complement returning players like Tyrese Proctor and Caleb Foster. Brea’s shooting prowess and extensive experience make him an attractive prospect for Duke.
While the competition for Brea’s commitment remains fierce, Duke fans should stay tuned for further updates on his recruitment, as securing his services could significantly bolster the team’s prospects.
