Between the resignation of embattled coach Bucky Waters in 1973, and the arrival of Gene Banks and Kenny Dennard in 1977, there wasn’t a whole lot to celebrate for Duke Basketball.
Several 2025-26 Duke basketball players with eligibility remaining have yet to announce whether they'll be in Durham again next season. So, it's tough to accurately gauge how many transfer talents Jon Scheyer and his crew are hoping land for what will be the 38-year-old's fifth season at the helm.
Not the sort of news we were hoping for, but Nikolas Khamenia has committed to UConn. Given his hard-nosed attitude, he probably will mesh with Dan Hurley pretty well.
If there is a transfer portal move that illustrates the "pure business" world of college athletics in this NIL era, it's this one. Former Duke basketball wing Nikolas Khamenia has committed to UConn after entering the transfer portal.
After a fairly quiet first week of the portal cycle for Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff, the program finally received its first major announcement.

Duke football head coach Manny Diaz has been absolutely fantastic through his first two seasons with the Blue Devils, with the highlight so far being an ACC Championship in 2025.
Diaz has gone 18-9 in two campaigns, and last season, the Blue Devils went 9-5 and won the ACC.
