Head coach Jon Scheyer got Crystal Ball predictions for former Purdue guard Mason Gillis and former Syracuse forward Maliq Brown on Friday, but the Blue Devils don’t appear to be done yet.
According to 247Sports national basketball analyst Travis Branham, Duke is on the shortlist for BYU transfer Dallin Hall.
Hall averaged 9.0 points and 5.1 assists for the Cougars last year, and he tacked on 3.5 rebounds per game despite being just 6-foot-4. The sophomore is a career 36% 3-point shooter, and he shot 42.2% from the floor last season.
Branham says Duke is in contention for Hall alongside Virginia, Creighton, Clemson, Cincinnati, Florida, Washington, Utah, and Utah State. Hall’s former coach, Mark Pope, took over Kentucky to replace John Calipari, but the Wildcats don’t appear to be in consideration.

Hall would help replenish a Duke backcourt losing Jeremy Roach to the transfer portal and Jared McCain to the NBA. Caleb Foster and Tyrese Proctor, the latter of whom led the team in assists last year, both return for the 2024-25 season.
