We havenât heard a lot of news on the status of the Duke Menâs Basketball roster for next seasonâŠand we know everyone trying to figure out what it all means! We update everyone on what weâve heard and speculate on the portal on DBR Bites #160.
After Nik Khamenia and Darren Harris entered the transfer portal, the news cycle has gone quiet. Sure, Duke has been rumored to be considering several players from the portal, but no one on the squad has made any decisions public yet. We start by going through the roster and giving what we think is the status of those players who may have decisions to make, whether itâs to stay at Duke, enter the NBA Draft, or to transfer. Some guys are likely very torn on their decision, but we also try to reassure folks who might be getting antsy that no news means bad news for next yearâs roster.
We also dive into some of the players that we are reportedly considering in the transfer portal and discuss the news that Flory Bidunga has committed to Louisville just hours before he was scheduled to visit Duke. Duke will still have a great roster, but we shall have to wait and see who fills out next yearâs roster as everyone makes their decisions.
