    Arizona will host two big-time transfers this weekend.

    Transferring Duke sophomore big man Chase Jeter, a native of Las Vegas, will visit the Wildcats, as will transferring Pittsburgh sophomore forward Cam Johnson.

    The 6-foot-10 Jeter has already visited Cal, San Diego State and Gonzaga ahead of a UCLA visit on May 12. The 6-8 Johnson has been to Kentucky and will hit Oregon and UCLA next week.

    Johnson’s father played with Arizona coach Sean Miller at Pittsburgh.

    “It factors in a little bit because there’s familiarity and a level of trust that my dad has with him and that I have with him,” Johnson told Scout.com. “We know him and his family well. I think it mostly comes down to trust factor and familiarity and comfort having him as a coach.

    Duke, Transfers

    Transferring Duke sophomore big man Chase Jeter, a native of Las Vegas, is touring several Western schools this week.

    Jeter visited Cal and San Diego State last week and then Gonzaga on the weekend, according to Jon Rothstein and Evan Daniels.

    Jeter is also reportedly considering Arizona, UCLA, Washington and UNLV. He is slated to visit Arizona beginning Friday, as is Pitt transfer Cam Johnson. Jeter visits UCLA on May 12.

    The Las Vegas native saw limited time playing behind Amile Jefferson, Harry Giles and Marques Bolden this season, and next year Duke has Wendell Carter Jr. coming in.

    Duke

    UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Duke sophomore big man Chase Jeter suffered a left ankle injury during No. 1 Duke’s 78-68 win over Penn State at the Mohegan Sun Arena and coach Mike Krzyzewski said he was “doubtful” for Sunday’s championship game against No. 21 Rhode Island in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off.

    “Chase, we gotta see,” Krzyzewski said. “I don’t know enough right now. He was walking, he just couldn’t push off of it. If he can play, he’ll play. But right now I would say doubtful.”

    He added: “We’re banged up more than any team I’ve ever coached.”

    Early in the first half, Jeter collided with Penn State’s Mike Watkins under the Penn State basket and lay on the floor writhing in pain, clutching his ankle before play eventually stopped. After being attended to by trainers, he was helped off the court as he hopped on his right leg. Jeter later returned to the bench with about 6 minutes remaining in the first half.
