Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff are officially in offseason mode after falling in the Elite Eight to 2-seed UConn. Despite the Blue Devils committing one of the biggest collapses in the history of the NCAA Tournament, there is still plenty of reason to believe they will be at the top of the sport in 2026-27.
Scheyer and Co. are in an offseason unlike any they're used to, as much of this past squad's rotation could return to Durham for another campaign. Duke hasn't dealt with a ton of transfer portal trouble in this NIL era of collegiate athletics, so there's reason to believe that will remain consistent.
Here's the official live tracker for the Duke program across the entire college basketball transfer portal cycle.
Transfer Portal Details
The transfer portal will officially open on April 7, the day following the National Championship. The window for players to enter is two weeks, as the portal closes on April 21. Only a coaching change permits a player to enter following that date.
Additions for Duke
Duke has made two additions via the transfer portal, in former Wisconsin guard John Blackwell and former Belmont forward Drew Scharnowski.
The decisions that will impact Duke the most will be from Isaiah Evans, Patrick Ngongba, Dame Sarr, Nik Khamenia, Caleb Foster, and Cayden Boozer. National Player of the Year Cameron Boozer is in that same boat, but as a consensus top-three draft prospect, all signs point to the superstar making the jump to the NBA.
Departures for Duke
Sophomore Darren Harris entered the transfer portal after two seasons with the Blue Devils. This was an expected entry, as Harris struggled to see time on the floor throughout the entirety of his time at Duke. Harris has announced his commitment to Indiana.
In two seasons, Harris averaged 2.8 points on 36.4% shooting from the field and 30.8% shooting from three across 57 appearances.

Additionally, freshman Nik Khamenia has hit the portal. The former 5-star recruit averaged 5.7 points and 3.3 rebounds across his lone year in Durham.
Isaiah Evans has also declared for the 2026 NBA Draft.
Updated Roster for Duke
Duke is bringing in the No. 1 overall 2026 recruiting class, according to 247Sports, headlined by three 5-star commitments in Cameron Williams (No. 2 overall player), Deron Rippey Jr. (No. 1 point guard), and Bryson Howard (No. 12 overall player). Duke is also bringing in Canadian 4-star seven-footer Maxime Meyer.
The Blue Devils have cemented several major returns, as Cayden Boozer, Caleb Foster, Patrick Ngongba, and Sebastian Wilkins will return to Duke for the 2026-27 season.
