Top Recruit Koby Brea Cancels Duke Visit, UConn Emerges as Frontrunner

Former Dayton guard Koby Brea, known for his sharpshooting abilities and impressive 3-point percentage, had initially planned to visit Duke for three days this week. However, in the fast-paced world of college basketball transfers, plans can change in an instant.

According to college hoops insider Adam Zagoria, Brea is now visiting defending national champion UConn, with the Huskies emerging as the frontrunner for the talented guard. This sudden shift in plans has led to the cancellation of Brea’s visit to Duke, as reported by The News & Observer’s Steve Wiseman.

With UConn now in the lead for Brea’s services, the 247Sports Crystal Ball has predicted the Huskies as the favorite over other top programs like Duke, Kentucky, UNC, and Kansas. This development leaves Duke basketball still searching for backcourt depth in the transfer portal.

As of now, there are no reported transfer prospects lined up for Duke to host, with head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff looking to add to their two portal pickups so far. The upcoming deadline for players to enter the transfer portal means that the Blue Devils may still have a chance to land their ideal perimeter addition for the upcoming season.
