Duke basketball has secured another top-tier talent for the upcoming 2024-2025 season, as head coach Jon Scheyer officially announced the signing of rising star Cade Bennerman. The highly anticipated addition is expected to make an immediate impact, further boosting the Blue Devils’ roster as they aim for another championship run.
Bennerman, one of the most sought-after recruits in the nation, brings a unique combination of athleticism, skill, and basketball IQ to a Duke team already brimming with talent. Known for his versatility on both ends of the court, the 6’6″ guard has drawn comparisons to some of the game’s elite players due to his scoring ability, defensive prowess, and leadership on the floor.
“We are thrilled to welcome Cade to the Duke family,” said head coach Jon Scheyer in a statement. “He’s a special player who embodies the values we look for in a student-athlete. His work ethic, passion for the game, and commitment to improving every day will make him a perfect fit for our program.”
Bennerman’s decision to join Duke comes after a standout high school career where he consistently dominated at the national level. As a top-10 recruit in his class, he attracted attention from several powerhouse programs but ultimately chose Duke due to its winning culture, storied history, and the opportunity to play under Scheyer.
“I chose Duke because I believe it’s the best place for me to grow as both a player and a person,” Bennerman said. “The tradition here is unmatched, and I’m excited to be part of something special. I can’t wait to get on the court and compete with my new teammates.”
