The biggest addition of the offseason for Duke was Wisconsin star guard John Blackwell, who landed with the Blue Devils out of the Transfer Portal. He was one of the biggest names in the portal, and Jon Scheyer won out in his recruitment to bring the elite scoring guard to Durham.

That standing will obviously have him on the shortlist in the National Player of the Year conversation…
