LOOK: Duke Basketball Transfer Target Shows off Blue Devil Threads
The Duke basketball staff looks like the frontrunner for former one-year Kansas center Ernest Udeh Jr., as evident in the three 247Sports Crystal Ball picks that arrived on Thursday.

And Udeh looks comfortable in a Duke basketball jersey. He posted the pictures of him wearing Blue Devil threads to his Instagram account on Thursday, one day after wrapping up his two-day visit to Durham:
However, Udeh included the "#notcommitted" hashtag in the comment section. Perhaps the 2022 McDonald's All-American still plans to visit a couple of other suitors before deciding on his next destination; after all, Cerebro Sports' Andrew Slater reported earlier this week that he is scheduling trips to Kansas State and TCU.
On the other hand, given the Blue Devils' proven prowess at impressing talents during their official visits, one would think there's a chance he will cancel any future visits and announce his commitment to Duke in the coming days.
Furthermore, it's worth pointing out that Udeh appears to be friends with fellow Orlando native Sean Stewart, an incoming five-star forward for the Blue Devils who began recruiting Udeh to Duke almost as soon as he entered the transfer portal last week.
Ernest Udeh Jr. is a 6-foot-11, 250-pound bruiser boasting the size and instincts to excel as a rim-protector and finisher wherever he ends up next. That's precisely what the Duke basketball coaches are looking for to replace early NBA Draft entrant Dereck Lively II and cap off their 2023-24 roster construction.
As a freshman at Kansas, Udeh played only 8.3 minutes per game, averaging only 2.6 points and 1.8 rebounds. But his role increased in the last few months of the season as the primary backup to Jayhawks star Jalen Wilson at the five-spot.
