Duke basketball under Jon Scheyer: Insiders give transfer portal news, 2025 recruits, roster, plus targets

Jon Scheyer took on a nearly impossible task when he was named the successor to Mike Krzyzewski, but the former Duke Blue Devils standout has kept the program in the limelight. After a second-round exit in 2023 and an Elite Eight outro in 2024, Scheyer led Duke to its 18th Final Four at the 2025 NCAA Tournament. However, he’s in for major change in 2025-26 with three freshmen entering the NBA Draft, while Sion James is out of eligibility and Tyrese Proctor is weighing his professional options.
That leaves Scheyer in a position where he may have to replace all five of the starters on the Duke basketball roster. He’s hard at work in the college basketball transfer portal to supplement his No. 1-ranked Duke basketball recruiting class in 2025. Who are the top Duke basketball transfer targets and how can Scheyer use his incoming crop to keep the program in the national championship conversation?

Duke basketball roster news
Duke received some good news this week when Caleb Foster announced that he’d be returning to Durham for his junior season. Foster began the season in the starting lineup but wound up coming off the bench with Scheyer preferring James’ abilities as a facilitator in conference play. However, he still played a crucial role in the Final Four run, with the former top-25 recruit in the Class of 2023 averaging 4.9 points per game.
Foster’s decision not to enter the transfer portal will give Scheyer some much-needed roster continuity in 2025-26. However, he’s still working the portal relentlessly to build around Duke’s four top-25 signees in the Class of 2025. Duke still might add a top-five recruit in Nate Ament but point guard is a particular area of emphasis in the portal. Princeton’s Xaivian Lee and Creighton’s Pop Isaacs are believed to be two of Scheyer’s top remaining transfer targets. Get the latest Duke basketball roster news at The Devil’s Den.
