Duke needs an almost entirely new roster for next season

No college basketball team illustrates the perils of the transfer portal era better than Duke right now.

Duke suffered another roster blow on Friday when forward Sean Stewart, a former top-20 recruit, announced that he would be entering the transfer portal. Stewart is the seventh player from Duke’s 2023-24 team to enter the portal, and that does not even count the two players that had already announced their plans to enter the NBA Draft.

As things stand, Tyrese Proctor and Caleb Foster are the only returnees on the Duke roster. They combined to average just 18.3 points per game last year.
