Duke will have one less tall guy in its practices next season.
The Blue Devils learned over the weekend that a four-year man who is 7-feet tall is putting his name into the transfer portal.
That’s Turkish center Stanley Borden, who has been a fan favorite walk-on at Duke.
Borden earned notoriety from his original Countdown to Craziness appearance at Duke when he crushed the song “Careless Whisper” on a saxophone.Borden saw action in five games with Duke, all in the form of mop-up duty. His main role was to work hard against Duke’s higher-touted players in practice.
Sadly, Borden never got a point on the board for Duke.
His final stats in total: 3 rebounds, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 1 foul. He missed the lone shot he ever took.
Borden came to campus under Mike Krzyzewski and leaves after a few years under Jon Scheyer.
The good news for Duke here: Borden is their only player to enter the transfer portal so far this offseason.
And now Duke fans continue to wait to see what Cooper Flagg is going to do
