Duke made a splash in the transfer portal by landing Washington State star Cedric Coward. The 6-foot-6 guard averaged 17.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists last season for WSU, and his commitment marks the first addition the Blue Devils have made via the transfer portal this cycle.

While going through the NBA Draft process, 6-6 guard Cedric Coward announced he’ll play for the Duke Blue Devils next season if he stays in college.

For the first time this offseason, Duke basketball has taken a step toward adding to its roster rather than defending it. The program, which has yet to lose a player to the transfer portal, may have found its first incoming piece in Cedric Coward.
