Duke might be working in the transfer portal amid March Madness.
Kanaan Carlyle, a former four-star prospect and 247Sports’ No. 59 overall player in the Class of 2023, entered the transfer portal earlier this week. 24/7 High School Hoops reported on Saturday afternoon that Carlyle has heard from at least 15 schools since he joined the portal, including the Blue Devils.
Carlyle averaged 11.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.7 assists as a freshman for Stanford last season. He played in 23 games, starting in 16 of them, and his season-high of 31 points came in a January loss to Washington State. He scored at least 20 points in two other contests.
The former Cardinal has also reportedly heard from Baylor, Gonzaga, UCLA, Indiana, Clemson, Florida State, and Villanova, among other schools.

Duke won’t struggle for depth next season either way as its vaunted 2024 recruiting class features four five-star players and six of the top 50 players in the class.
