Jordan Ivy-Curry: A Diamond in the Rough
UTSA transfer Jordan Ivy-Curry has emerged as a prime target for the Blue Devils. The 6-foot-3 guard has an impressive resume, averaging 17.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game last season. His ability to come off the bench and provide a scoring punch could be a valuable asset for Duke.

A Texas native, Ivy-Curry has played four seasons of college basketball, with three at UTSA and one at Pacific. His experience and scoring prowess make him an attractive option for Coach Scheyer, who is looking to round out his roster with a reliable bench guard.
The Competition for Ivy-Curry’s Services
Ivy-Curry’s decision to re-enter the transfer portal has sparked interest from several top programs, including Florida State, Grand Canyon, Kansas, Oklahoma, TCU, Texas A&M, and UCF. However, Duke’s reputation for developing talent and its rich basketball tradition may give the Blue Devils an edge in the recruitment process.

What Ivy-Curry Brings to the Table
With the Blue Devils needing an experienced bench guard to play behind the projected starting backcourt of Tyrese Proctor and Caleb Foster, Ivy-Curry’s addition could be a game-changer. His ability to score from beyond the arc (38.7% 3PT) and create for himself and others would provide a much-needed boost to Duke’s offense.
