Duke reportedly in contact with Belmont transfer Cade Tyson

Duke has reportedly contacted former Belmont Bruin Cade Tyson, a sophomore who scored 16.2 points per game and shot 46% from three last season, in the transfer portal.

With a handful of Blue Devils expected to leave for either new teams or the NBA (and center Christian Reeves already gone), Duke head coach Jon Scheyer will need to dip into the transfer portal. According to some reports, he’s already on the trail.

According to basketball coach Nick Jones, the Blue Devils have been in contact with Belmont transfer Cade Tyson.

Tyson, a 6-foot-7 sophomore, averaged 16.2 points and 5.9 rebounds per game for the Bruins last season. He was remarkably efficient, shooting 49.3% from the floor and 46.5% from beyond the arc, and he’s finished above 40% from 3-point range in both of his collegiate seasons.

Tyson is 74th on EvanMiya’s transfer portal player rankings, but he’s 15th among transfers in the site’s Offensive Bayesian Performance Rating metric. EvanMiya grades him as a four-star transfer prospect.

Tyson has apparently also been approached by Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee, so Scheyer will have some competition if he wants him in Durham.
