The Duke basketball staff appears to be nearing completion of its roster for the 2024-25 season. With eleven scholarships already allocated for the Blue Devils, there is a possibility that rising senior walk-on Stanley Borden may be granted a scholarship for his final year. This decision would leave the team with one remaining scholarship, and recent activity on social media, combined with a new 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction, suggests that former Rice guard Cameron Sheffield may be the next addition to the Duke basketball roster.
The Duke basketball official Instagram account recently followed Cameron Sheffield, indicating the team’s interest in the 6-foot-6 guard from Georgia. This move, along with the recent signing of former Tulane guard Sion James, suggests the potential addition of Sheffield to the Blue Devils.
Sheffield’s potential inclusion to the team presents an exciting prospect. Despite the already impressive lineup of the Duke basketball team, Sheffield could be a valuable addition, bringing his skills and talent to the renowned Cameron Indoor Stadium for the next couple of seasons. The guard has shown promise throughout his time with Rice, and it would be intriguing to observe his progression after dealing with a foot injury that led to a redshirt year in the previous season.
During his three years with the Owls, Sheffield has demonstrated his abilities on the court, averaging 5.7 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. His shooting percentages of 40.7 percent from the field, 36.8 percent from beyond the arc, and 72.6 percent from the free-throw line showcase his skills as a solid contributor to the team.
As the Duke basketball staff continues to make moves to finalize the roster for the upcoming season, fans eagerly await the official announcements. For more updates on Duke basketball news, please stay tuned to Blue Devil Country on Sports Illustrated.
