Duke Basketball Eyes Transfer Guard Sion James for Roster Boost
Duke basketball is actively pursuing former Tulane guard Sion James, signaling a potential addition to the Blue Devils’ roster ahead of the upcoming season.
The 6-foot-6, 220-pound guard, who has one year of eligibility remaining, is reportedly on an official visit to Duke’s facilities this weekend, sparking speculation among basketball enthusiasts.
In recent developments, Blue Devil head coach Jon Scheyer’s Instagram activity has caught attention, with Scheyer following James on the platform. This move follows a similar pattern seen with previous transfers, including Mason Gillis from Purdue, who recently committed to Duke.
Furthermore, the official Duke basketball program’s social media account has begun following James, adding fuel to the rumors of an impending commitment.
Despite the absence of predictions in the 247Sports Crystal Ball, social media chatter suggests that James could be the third transfer addition to the Blue Devils’ roster for the upcoming season, under Coach Scheyer’s leadership.
During his senior year at Tulane, James showcased his versatility and athleticism, averaging an impressive 14.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. His consistent performance as a full-time starter for the Green Wave over the past three seasons has garnered attention from top-tier programs like Duke.
With Duke’s current roster consisting of 10 scholarship players, the potential addition of James could provide valuable depth and talent to the team’s lineup. Duke basketball fans eagerly await further updates on this developing story.
