Four former Duke basketball players stay in the ACC after transfer portal moves

Jaylen Blakes, Christian Reeves, Jaden Schutt, and TJ Power will all still play ACC basketball next season despite leaving Duke.

All seven Duke basketball transfers have chosen their next destinations, and four of them didn’t feel like leaving the ACC just yet.

Jaylen Blakes, a guard who spent three years with Duke, announced on Friday that he’d play for the Stanford Cardinal. Stanford, a longtime Pac-12 staple, will transition to the ACC for the 2023-24 academic calendar after its old conference fell apart.

Blakes will stay on the conference calendar alongside three of his old teammates. 7-foot center Christian Reeves announced he’d play for the Clemson Tigers, TJ Power left for Virginia after just one season, and sharpshooter Jaden Schutt jumped to Virginia Tech.

The Blue Devils don’t have the exact dates on their calendar yet, but they will host the Cardinal and the Hokies at Cameron Indoor Stadium in 2024-25. They will also travel to Clemson and Virginia, rounding out all four revenge games.
