Duke basketball scored a major recruiting victory by landing John Blackwell, the top guard available in the college transfer portal. Blackwell announced his commitment on Tuesday with a social media post captioned "Committed! #TheBrotherhood."
The rising senior is leaving Wisconsin after three seasons with the Badgers. Despite being ranked as just a three-star recruit who didn't crack the top 200 nationally coming out of high school, Blackwell developed into one of college basketball's most sought-after transfers.
247Sports ranks Blackwell as the top available guard in the transfer portal. He brings veteran scoring ability to a Duke team that's rebuilding its roster after losing several key players.
The addition of Blackwell represents a significant step in Duke's efforts to retool their team. His experience and proven scoring ability at the college level should help the Blue Devils remain competitive in one of college basketball's toughest conferences.
This is a big win for Duke as they rebuild their team. Blackwell gives them an experienced scorer who can help them compete at the highest level of college basketball next season.
Duke will continue building their roster through the transfer portal and recruiting as they prepare for next season.
