A Potential Boost for the Blue Devils’ Backcourt
The Duke basketball program is being considered as a possible landing spot for Dallin Hall, a former starter for BYU. Despite not expected to receive significant playing time next season, the 6-foot-4, 200-pound sophomore guard has included the Blue Devils in the list of 10 places he’s considering as he enters the transfer portal, after starting in 51 of the 68 games he played for the Cougars.
Reports have indicated that Hall initially had eight schools on his radar, including Creighton, Clemson, Cincinnati, Florida, Washington, Utah, Utah State, and a return to BYU. However, it has been revealed that Duke and Virginia have also joined the list of potential destinations for the talented guard, according to 247Sports’ Travis Branham.
Duke’s basketball head coach, Jon Scheyer, and his team have been actively pursuing experienced perimeter players to provide depth behind returning junior Tyrese Proctor and sophomore Caleb Foster. The addition of Hall to their list of considerations suggests that the Blue Devils are looking to strengthen their roster following the departure of 10 players this offseason, either to the NBA Draft or the transfer portal.
During his time with BYU, Hall averaged 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in 29.3 minutes per game. The consideration of Duke as a potential destination for Hall indicates that the Blue Devils are positioning themselves to be competitive in the upcoming season.
With Duke boasting the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class, any addition to the team will have the opportunity to play alongside talented teammates and contribute to the team’s success in the future.
