Clemson lands massive transfer portal commitment from former Duke center Christian Reeves

Clemson makes a huge splash in the transfer portal.

Brad Brownell and the Clemson men’s basketball team just made a huge splash in the transfer portal.

Former Duke center Christian Reeves named his top four choices recently and today, he announced that Clemson is the choice. Reeves has committed to Clemson, a massive commitment for the Tigers in the portal. A 7-foot-1 who spent two seasons with the Blue Devil, Reeves will look to make a major impact as he joins a Clemson team that needed a big man with the departure of PJ Hall for the NBA.

Reeves played just three games in 2024 due to injury, leading to a redshirt season for the big man. According to 247Sports composite rankings, Reeves was the No. 26 center and the No. 145 overall player in the 2022 class.

Reeves will look to have a breakout season with the Tigers.

Duke center Christian Reeves enters transfer portal

Duke center Christian Reeves plans to enter transfer portal.

Duke redshirt sophomore Christian Reeves plans to enter the transfer portal, per On3’s Joe Tipton.

The center redshirted this past season after he underwent lower right ankle surgery. He was ruled out for the season in February. Reeves played just three games this year, seeing limited minutes.

He played 13 games in his freshman season, and Reeves will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Reeves, a 7-foot-1-inch, 261-pound center, committed to Duke as a three-star recruit. He is the first Duke Blue Devil to enter the transfer portal this offseason.

He may not be the only frontcourt loss, either, as All-American 7-footer Kyle Filipowski could declare for the 2024 NBA Draft.

The Blue Devils are adding five-star center Khaman Maluach and four-star center Patrick Ngongba II from the 2024 recruiting class for next season.
