Duke basketball signee Darren Harris shares pics with Paolo Banchero, Cooper Flagg, and more

Darren Harris, one of Duke’s six 2024 signees, linked up with Paolo Banchero and future teammate Cooper Flagg at the K Academy in Durham last week.

Duke basketball fans got to see the 2024-25 roster in Blue Devils gear for the first time last week at K Academy.

Legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski’s fantasy camp serves as a major reunion for his players, and dozens of former legends came back to Cameron Indoor Stadium for the weekend. The gathering creates an interesting mix of Duke stars from yesterday and tomorrow, and a recent tweet from signee Darren Harris showed that clash beautifully.

Harris, one of six members of Duke’s 2024 recruiting class, posted a handful of photos on X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter) of him with old Blue Devils like Paolo Banchero and Theo John. The incoming freshman also got a photo with future teammate Cooper Flagg, the top overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting class.

If you need any further evidence that Harris is excited to get started at Duke, check out the caption on the post.

Even though the Orlando Magic All-Star only left Durham two years ago, the cyclical nature of college basketball and Coach K’s retirement makes Banchero feel like he comes from a different Duke era. Seeing him alongside Flagg and Harris, the future of the roster, feels like a time capsule.

Duke basketball shares a clip of incoming freshman Isaiah Evans mic’d up at K Academy

Isaiah Evans, a five-star prospect in Duke’s esteemed 2024 recruiting class, cheered on members of the K Academy in a fun mic’d up clip shared on Friday.

The five-star prospect, one of six signees in Duke’s highly regarded 2024 recruiting class, has already traded barbs with North Carolina fans at his high school basketball games and future Tar Heels players.

With Evans in Durham for Mike Krzyzewski’s K Academy, the Duke basketball team knew they had no choice but to give Evans a microphone as he watched the camp’s games.

Despite being a newcomer, Evans slipped comfortably into his place on the sidelines. He poked fun at a player for missing his first three shots and celebrated the best moments, jumping out of his seat and high-fiving players in all the right moments.

In fact, all the moments he celebrated on the court led to a funny moment later on in the video.

“Y’all doing stuff I ain’t never seen y’all do before,” Evans said to the players, mimicking a crossover he just witnessed.

No matter his role on the 2024-25 squad, the video showed Evans will endear himself to the Cameron Crazies even when he isn’t on the court. He’s not just a witty personality, either, as he was voted the best high school men’s basketball player from Charlotte in the past 40 years after he won North Carolina Mr. Basketball twice in a row.
