With early national signing day just three months away, it’s prime commitment season for recruits. And the 2022 class is pivotal for the Blue Devils.
I bet you thought they were finished, didn’t you? I bet you thought Duke was done adding transfers. I bet you said to yourself well certainly twelve scholarship players is enough! Boy, I bet you feel silly now.
Put simply, Jordyn Oliver is the kind of player every team wants. A complete package of strength, skill and responsibility, she adds the depth at point guard that can help push Duke to the next level as a team.
Imani Lewis brings a new dimension to the frontcourt—something the team needs—and her offensive skillset will complement a roster already shaping up to be versatile on offense.
Taylor is a proven player who brings an energy and explosiveness that will significantly boon the Blue Devils’ quest for a championship.

After much anticipation, the United States Olympic team was finally announced—including one familiar face.
Last summer, I thought the Blue Devils wouldn’t see an NCAA tournament until after I’d graduate. But now, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if I’m watching them in the Final Four next April.
And, for their last trick, the Blue Devils will pull another wing out of the transfer portal.
