Coveted Wisconsin transfer guard John Blackwell committed to Duke on Tuesday.
Blackwell announced the news on his social media accounts with the caption, 'Committed! #TheBrotherhood.'
The rising senior, who's ranked by 247Sports as the No. 1 guard and No. 3 overall player in the transfer portal class, has seen his production shoot up over each of his three seasons with the Badgers. The 6-foot-4 guard is coming off a season where he earned third-team All-Big 10 honors after averaging 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 43% from the floor and 38.9% from 3-point range.
Blackwell averaged 15.8 points per game as a sophomore in 2024-25.
He's set to become a featured piece of Duke's roster, filling the void left by national Player of the Year Cameron Boozer, who is off to the NBA after one season with the Blue Devils.
It continues a great week of news for Duke, which also announced Monday that center Patrick Ngongba II will return for his junior season.
