Outbound Duke basketball freshman TJ Power has committed to an ACC program, he revealed on Monday, setting up at least one meeting with the 2024-25 Blue Devils.
While Duke basketball had seven former players opt to leave Durham and continue their playing careers at other programs, most of those decisions were ultimately expected. The choice to transfer was no surprise from players such as Jaylen Blakes, Jaden Schutt, and Christian Reeves, and even older, more experienced players like Jeremy Roach and Mark Mitchell weren’t complete shocks.
That potential future has now become a reality, with Power opting to continue his playing days at Virginia, perennially one of the Blue Devils’ top in-conference threats. Power’s commitment was first reported early Monday evening by On3’s Joe Tipton, just hours after the 6-foot-9 forward received two 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions to Virginia.Now, Power will look to bring some much-needed offense to head coach Tony Bennett and the Cavaliers, who are looking to bounce back after an up-and-down campaign last season.
The former top-20 recruit in the class of 2023 averaged 2.1 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 0.2 assists in limited minutes as a Blue Devil, while shooting just shy of 36 percent from three. He played 13 minutes in Duke’s 73-48 victory over Virginia last season, scoring six points on 2-for-5 shooting beyond the arc.
TJ Power becomes the fourth Blue Devil transfer to announce a destination, with Mark Mitchell choosing Missouri, Jeremy Roach heading to Baylor, and Sean Stewart recently pledging allegiance to Ohio State. The trio of former Duke basketball players who remain uncommitted are Jaylen Blakes, Jaden Schutt, and Christian Reeves.
