Shaking up the College Basketball Rankings: Duke’s Move with Sion James Boosts Blue Devils in Top 25 And 1.
Duke makes a splash, climbing to No. 8 in the Top 25 And 1 after securing the commitment of star player Sion James.
With the addition of Sion James from Tulane, Duke boasts not only the country’s most promising freshman in Cooper Flagg but also flaunts the top-ranked recruiting class in the sport, featuring five elite prospects from the Class of 2024. Clearly, the Blue Devils are brimming with talent, albeit young. Thus, it was imperative for Duke’s head coach Jon Scheyer to delve into the transfer portal and fortify the squad with seasoned players.
And on Friday, Scheyer made another significant move.
Securing a commitment from Sion James, a 6-foot-6 guard who has started in 106 games for Tulane over the past four years, Duke adds a seasoned veteran to their roster. The 21-year-old averaged an impressive 14.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.6 steals per game this past season
