Duke basketball hires “general manager.” Will UK follow suit?

There is not a team in college basketball that is adapting to the changing college landscape better than the Duke Blue Devils, unfortunately.

Following the retirement of Mike Krzyzewski, Duke is looking to minimize the transition. The Blue Devils have the No. 1 recruiting class coming in next season and currently have the No. 1 for 2023, which Kentucky could challenge for. In addition, Duke hired away Kentucky Wildcats recruiting coordinator Jai Lucas, and they just made a new pioneer hire as well.

On Tuesday, Duke announced that they hired Rachel Baker in the unique role of general manager for the program.
