The Duke Blue Devils landed Rice transfer Sean Obi on Monday night.

Obi made the announcement via Instagram.
“Happy to officially announce that I will be attending Duke university for the rest of my college basketball career,” he wrote. “Very thankful for all the support and love from my family and friends all over, and also to every college Coach that have called and been in involved with me through out this process. Duke it is!!”
