Duke Basketball Lands Top International Guard Dame Sarr
In a significant boost to their 2025 recruiting class, the Duke Blue Devils have secured a commitment from Dame Sarr, a highly touted Italian-Senegalese guard known for his exceptional physical attributes and international experience.
Standing at 6-foot-6 with a 7-foot wingspan, Sarr brings a combination of size, athleticism, and versatility to Duke’s backcourt. His background includes playing for FC Barcelona in Spain’s Liga ACB and representing Italy in international competitions, showcasing his high-level experience and readiness for collegiate basketball.
Sarr’s commitment comes on the heels of Duke’s recent addition of Sebastian Wilkins, a 6-foot-8 forward who reclassified from the 2026 class to join the 2025 cohort. Wilkins, known for his balanced skill set and defensive prowess, chose Duke over Maryland, further solidifying the Blue Devils’ strong recruiting class.
These commitments have propelled Duke back to the top of the 2025 recruiting rankings, surpassing other elite programs. Head coach Jon Scheyer’s recruiting efforts have resulted in a class that includes three five-star recruits—Cameron Boozer, Dame Sarr, and Nik Khamenia—alongside four-star prospects like Wilkins and Cayden Boozer.
With these additions, Duke’s roster is shaping up to be one of the most formidable in recent memory, blending international talent with top domestic recruits. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this new wave of talent will perform on the court in the upcoming seas
