Duke University is looking to bolster its backcourt for the 2026-27 season with the potential addition of John Blackwell, a standout guard transferring from the University of Wisconsin. Blackwell, who is ranked as the No. 3 player in the transfer portal, had an impressive season with the Badgers, averaging 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. His shooting stats include 43% from the field and 38.9% from three-point range, along with a remarkable 85.9% from the free-throw line. With the return of key players like Cayden Boozer and Caleb Foster, along with the commitment of 5-star recruit Deron Rippey Jr., Duke's backcourt could become even more formidable if Blackwell decides to join the team.
