The Duke Blue Devils are swinging big.
There are some immense talents already in the transfer portal, and it sounds like Jon Scheyer is recruiting some of the best.
On3 Sports insider Joe Tipton reported on Wednesday that Duke has at least three targets in mind:

The 6-foot-9 Bidunga just had a big season for the Jayhawks.
He put up 13.3 point and 9.0 rebounds per game. Bidunga also blocked 2.6 shots per contest to earn Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors.
He also was quite efficient on his interior shot diet, leading the conference in field goal percentage at 64.0%.
Blackwell improved in each of his three seasons with the Badgers, and he was an absolute star in 2025-26. He averaged 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
He also shot 38.9% from 3-point range on 7.3 attempts from beyond the arc before the game, so he's a big-time shooter.
Harris has one of the best names in the portal.
He also averaged 21.4 points per game this season for Wake Forest.
Scheyer probably won't end up with all of these guys. But if he can get one or two, Duke's team next season would benefit in a great way from such moves.
