Jon Scheyer welcomes Duke Class of 2023, helps move in

Duke head basketball coach Jon Scheyer took time to helped welcome the class of 2030 this past weekend.

The start of the new school year brought a flurry of activity to the campus of Duke University as students returned to their dormitories and prepared for the upcoming term. Jon Scheyer, along with his family and coaching staff, was on hand to assist parents and incoming students with the moving process. To add a touch of sportsmanship to the occasion, Scheyer's son, Jett, gifted a mini basketball hoop to the students, recognizing the importance of the sport to the university's culture.

Welcoming the Class of 2030, Scheyer addressed the freshmen in Cameron Indoor Stadium, providing them with insights into the traditions and chants that define the Cameron Crazies – a group of passionate supporters known for their unwavering enthusiasm. The sentiment was captured perfectly in the caption: "2030 got next!" as the university's basketball team looked forward to the challenges ahead.

Interestingly, while Scheyer's team includes some newcomers, such as transfers John Blackwell and Drew Scharnowski, the Blue Devils also welcomed a number of freshmen, including Cam Williams, Bryson Howard, and Deron Rippey, among others. These players had been on campus throughout the summer, honing their skills in anticipation of the 2026-27 season. With the Blue Devils currently seen as strong contenders for the national title, the team's preparations were clearly underway.
