John Blackwell, a highly sought-after 5-star transfer and the No. 3 overall player in the transfer portal, has committed to Duke University for the upcoming season. The 6-foot-4 guard previously played for the Wisconsin Badgers, where he averaged 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game last season. His performance peaked during the Big Ten Tournament, where he scored 34 points in a quarterfinal victory over Washington and 31 points in the semifinals against Illinois. Despite Wisconsin's early exit in the NCAA Tournament, where he recorded a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds, Blackwell's talent is expected to bolster Duke's guard rotation alongside other top recruits like Cayden Boozer and Caleb Foster. This addition positions Duke as a strong contender for the national title next season.
