Duke has landed a commitment from Marquette transfer forward Theo John, he announced Friday via Twitter.
“After conversations with my family, I have decided that next year I will be attending Duke University for my final year of eligibility,” John said via Twitter. “I would like to thank everyone who has been a part of my basketball journey. Happy to be joining #TheBrotherHood.”
John, a 6-foot-9, 255-pound forward out of Minneapolis, MN, averaged 8.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.5 blocks per game during the 2020-21 season.
He started in 86 games over his four year career at Marquette.
John is the second transfer to commit to Duke this offseason, joining Davidson forward Bate Jones.
