Class of 2017 SG/SF Jordan Tucker (NY / GA) Leaving Duke to Butler

[Icebreaker]

 

[721Comstock]

Doesn't mean he accepted it.

Everybody needs a safety school.

 

[Deano]

After receiving the offer Tucker was quoted as saying "I appreciate the offer, however Georgetown still sucks!"

You wouldn't want to click on or reply to a GTown email - you'd probably pick up a nasty virus.

Looks like a lot of SU recruits will be at this tourney as well. Let's hope staff will be there too and hey Dean Francis, we expect plenty of updates this weekend

Most of our targets like Green, Diallo, Bamba, and Coleman are with the U18 USA team and will head out to Chile for the games out there. Red is suppose to check out Nick Richards out in the Springfield, Mass area this weekend. I'm sure GMac or Hop will check out the Rens crew in that Elevate Hoops tourney.

It's Francis. He's always all over it!

I'll betcha he's JB's snooze button on days like this, ready to wake him up for a prospect's breakaway dunk.

Syracuse and Tucker have established a good relationship mainly because of how long they have been recruiting him. Their coaching staff has told him the benefits of coming to their school.

“I know there will be a lot of playing time available when I get there and that is really important to me,” he said. “I would have the opportunity to come in as a freshman and get big minutes in the ACC.”

JB is so good at recruiting that Duke and Kentucky just wait it seems like. Arrrrrgh.

[Francis03]

Seems like JB has mostly been putting in work on the recruiting front for his buddy Coach K this year.

 

[Trueblue25]

God I loathe Duke...

 

[pearl31]

yeah that story is getting real old :bang:

 

[Cusefan0307]

They can't sign everybody!

 

[Whitey23]

Tucker listed Indiana, Maryland, Syracuse, Villanova and USC among the schools that are recruiting him the hardest and said that he'll start to trim his list to 7-10 schools once he hears from one more program.

"I'm pretty much set with my final list," he said. "I haven't announced it yet because I'm waiting on a Duke offer, and then I'll announce after that."

Gotta get that notch in his belt.

 

[Trueblue25]

Cameron's orange right now

[Deano]

I will be pretty PO'd if he doesn't come here. This kid has gotten so much better and we really need him next season.

 

[tee1222]

Have a listen here. Wow, really matured this past year! Sounds so confident, knows exactly what he and his teammates want to do now. Constantly looking to expand his game. I'm sold by now.
