-
John Blackwell has been in the college basketball transfer portal and has drawn interest from several programs. Reports in early April indicated he completed a visit to Duke and was also considering a visit to Louisville, with Duke emerging as a frequent name connected to his recruitment at that time. He averaged about 19.1 points per game this past season at Wisconsin and was recognized on All-Big Ten teams, which keeps him as a top transfer target.[1][2]
-
There have been updates suggesting he canceled a Louisville visit after a Duke campus visit, fueling speculation that Duke could be a strong landing spot, though recruitment timelines and official commitments remained fluid in mid-to-late April.[2]
-
A separate video and fan discussions circulated around mid-April noting ongoing portal activity and multiple visits, highlighting that Blackwell’s decision could hinge on fit, opportunity, and which program can best leverage his scoring ability and one-year eligibility remaining. The chatter in those sources pointed to Duke being particularly tied to his name at that moment.[3]
-
For broader context, ongoing coverage into May 2026 continued to track his status via major outlets and portals, with FOX Sports maintaining a running set of updates on his status and rumors. If you want, I can pull the most current updates from specific outlets and summarize any final commitment or official transfer announcement.[6]
