Duke gained a commitment from Dame Sarr, the top international 2025 prospect, on Thursday, helping the Blue Devils to ease the sting of losing four of their top five scorers to the 2025 NBA Draft.
The 18-year-old announced his commitment to Duke via ESPN, calling it “my dream school.”
“My ultimate goal is to play in the NBA,” Sarr said. “There’s no better place to prepare you for that than Duke.”
A 6-foot-8 wing from Oderzo, Italy, Sarr made his Spanish ACB league debut for Barcelona in 2023. Then 16, Sarr became the second-youngest player in club history.
He had a strong performance at the Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, Ore., in April, where he recorded 17 points and four boards in 25 minutes against the top high school players in the United States, including future Duke teammates Cameron and Cayden Boozer.
Sarr’s commitment further bolsters the Blue Devils’ recruiting class, which ranks third in the nation, according to the 247Sports composite behind only Houston and Arizona.
