Aaliyah Crump Commits to Duke After Transfer From Texas, Per Reports

The commitment bolsters Duke's backcourt depth.

Overview

  • Texas freshman guard Aaliyah Crump has committed to Duke after entering the transfer portal, according to On3 reporting cited by Yahoo Sports.
  • Crump arrived as a five-star recruit from Minnesota, started the first five games, then missed time with a foot injury before returning in a reserve role.
  • She averaged 7.9 points, posted a season-high 18 against Texas Southern, and tied Madison Booker for second on Texas with 23 made three-pointers.
  • Crump is the first of three Longhorns in the portal to pick a new team, while Jordan Lee and Justice Carlton have not announced destinations.
  • The addition gives Duke a scorer as it looks to build on an Elite Eight run that ended against eventual champion UCLA.
