Reigning national champion UConn looks like the favorite for Duke basketball transfer target Koby Brea, the NCAA leader in 3-point percentage this past season.
Former four-year Dayton guard Koby Brea , a two-time Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year and the NCAA's 2023-24 leader in 3-point percentage at 49.8 on 201 attempts, initially planned to arrive in Durham on Tuesday for a three-day Duke basketball visit,But in this new transfer era, plans often get torn to shreds in a flash during the heart of portal season. A frontrunner will quickly emerge with precisely what the transfer is looking for, snagging a visit and ensuing commitment.
On that note, it now appears that defending back-to-back national champion UConn is the perceived outright frontrunner for the 21-year-old Brea, who arrived in Storrs on Friday for a visit with Huskies head coach Dan Hurley and his staff extending through Sunday. And as The News & Observer's Steve Wiseman first reported on Friday afternoon, the aforementioned planned visit to Duke is suddenly no longer on Brea's calendar.
Can report that Dayton transfer guard Koby Brea is not visiting Duke next week. It had been discussed and planned but is now off. The Blue Devils do need another veteran guard but it doesn't look like it will be Brea, whose strength is more as a shooter than a ballhandler.Hours later, the 247Sports Crystal Ball received its first prediction in the Koby Brea sweepstakes.
Meanwhile, it appears as though Duke basketball's search for backcourt depth via the transfer portal may well extend for another couple of weeks. As of the canceled visit between Brea and the Blue Devils, there are currently no reported transfer prospects on tap for Jon Scheyer and his staff to host as they try to add to their two portal pickups thus far in forwards Mason Gillis and Maliq Brown.
