Duke University basketball will have one of the best backcourts in the country next season with the return of Tyrese Proctor and Caleb Foster, but depth remains an issue for the Blue Devils.
Despite adding two transfers from the portal in Syracuse's Malik Brown and Purdue's Mason Gillies, John Scheyer is still looking for a guard who can add depth to the team off the bench and handle the ball. There is.
Jordan Ivey-Curry committed to Virginia Tech this offseason, but announced he would resume recruiting, making Duke an early suitor. John Rothstein said the University of Texas at San Antonio guard has also heard from the University of Kansas, TCU, Oklahoma State, Grand Canyon, UCF, Florida State and Texas A&M.
Ivy-Curry played in just 21 games last season, averaging 17.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game while shooting 40.1 percent from the field. He played the first two seasons of his career at UTSA before transferring to Pacific for his junior season. He returned to the transfer portal, but returned to the Roadrunners last season.
He was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman Team for the 2020-21 season after shooting 37.5 percent from 3-point range and scoring 7.2 points per contest.
Duke University still has three scholarship spots available, but not all spots need to be filled.
The Blue Devils lost 10 players from this year's roster, one to graduation, two to the NBA Draft, and seven to the transfer portal. Duke will enter Durham with its top-ranked recruiting class next season.
In addition to another guard, Scheyer would also like to get a wing out of the portal who can start as a small forward and be an efficient 3-point shooter.
There are no visits scheduled between Duke and transfer portal targets at this time.
