Coveted Wisconsin transfer guard John Blackwell committed to Duke on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Blackwell announced the news on his social media accounts with the caption, \u201cCommitted! #TheBrotherhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rising senior, who\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Blackwell averaged 15.8 points per game as a sophomore in 2024-25.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s set to become a featured piece of Duke\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

It continues a great week of news for Duke, which also announced Monday that center Patrick Ngongba II will return for his junior season.<\/p>\n
