After losing no players via the transfer route a season ago, Duke Basketball has now lost seven players to the transfer portal this offseason. Jeremy Roach and Mark Mitchell have both found new homes, committing to Baylor and Missouri, respectively, in recent weeks. But the next destinations of the other former Blue Devils remain unknown.

That could soon change, with Blue Devil Jaden Schutt building a two-year list of visits to potential new homes.
On Friday, 247Sports’ Travis Branham reported that the 6-foot-5 transfer guard, a former four-star recruit, took a visit to Dayton and now plans to visit Butler, Wisconsin, DePaul and ACC school Virginia Tech.
Branham’s post suggests that Schutt may have narrowed down his potential choices, with the final destination of the sniper’s services likely appearing on the list above.
The 21-year-old Illinois native spent two seasons in Durham, playing sparingly as a freshman before missing his entire sophomore campaign due to injury. In 14 appearances as a freshman, Schutt averaged 2.1 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.4 assists while shooting 35.0% from deep.
Schutt was ranked No. 75 overall in the 247Sports 2022 Composite and came to Duke as a member of head coach Jon Scheyer’s first recruiting class, a group of seven that ranked No. 1 in the country.
After redshirting last season, Jaden Schutt will have three years of eligibility remaining for whichever program he decides to join.
Duke Basketball still has four other outgoing transfers who are currently uncommitted, including freshman forwards TJ Power and Sean Stewart, as well as sophomore center Christian Reeves and junior guard Jaylen Blakes.
