The Duke basketball team filled in the gaps on its 2025-26 schedule, which was officially released on Tuesday.
The Blue Devils, coming off a Final Four appearance in the NCAA Tournament, return six members from its 2024-25 squad to surround a five-person freshman class ― the nation’s top-rated recruiting class for the second straight season ― along with two transfer portal additions. That recruiting class is headlined by Cameron and Cayden Boozer, the twin sons of former Duke and NBA star Carlos Boozer.
