Unfortunately for Tucker and his family they should of seen this coming a mile away. Also I'd like to criticize coach k for pursuing a kid whom he probably knew he wouldn't really play and would sit on the bench. It's pretty disgusting and now Tucker won't be playing this year.
I think Oshae is better than Tucker period if that is the argument you were trying to put forward I completely agree.Ok may be scout and rivals. Either way I maintain some sites dropped him and he's not as good as Oshae.

I think Tucker is a better shooter than Oshae but outside of that I think Oshae is a better player. Better rebounder, better ball handler, better defender and less drama filled. Just my opinion. If Oshae was a US kid he would be in the 20-25 range in this class I think where as I think 40-50 is about where Tucker belongs.Different players but, a few years down the road, I think you will be right. Hard to say right now.

Coach K isn't supposed to recruit depth? Was it "disgusting" when JB recruited Johnny Flynn and Scoop Jardine in the same class knowing that it was likely Flynn would be the starter?Unfortunately for Tucker and his family they should of seen this coming a mile away.

No he was simply a better fit for us.So Tucker may not start at Duke, so he should've come here and started because were not as good a team. I guess?
He may not play a lot this year, but he probably will next season.He and Marques Bolden transfer after this year.
We still would have taken Marek. My understanding is that he was part of the puzzle even while we we're recruiting Tucker. Maybe we don't take Hughes as a regular transfer if we get Tucker.Hes a top 40 player, and we wouldn't have got Marek if we got Tucker. I said right after he committed to Duke it wasn't a smart decision for him, Su would have been the perfect fit.
I ask myself this question whenever this happens... how do these kids re-classify? Did they repeat a grade? How do they have enough credits? I understand the kids that graduate then do a post-grad year like Diallo, Lydon, Ayala etc, but how does a kid at a public high school suddenly graduate early? I was a good student, got into a top 10 university, and couldn't graduate high school even a semester early even if I tried. How do these kids do it?
I chose another sport.We're you good at basketball?

Finding fault with Coach K for building the best team he can is...something.
I do find it interesting how so many kids are willing to go to Duke when they know he plays a short bench. So many AA's have gone there, rode the pine, and transferred out. It's something Boeheim is knocked for, but Coach K uses his bench the exact same way.
Yet Duke often seems to have big recruits as their 8th-12th men riding the pine.

It's probably just every highly rated kid think he's good enough to make the 6/7 man rotation. If you have 10 on the roster, obviously 2 or 3 are going to be on the outside, but they all think they're going to be a major part of the rotation.

Most had reclassified already to improve their chances of securing a better scholarship offer at 19 than they could get at 18. Usually happens around 9th grade. If they are highly ranked and academically cleared then as a senior they can choose to reclassify back and graduate in their original year. If not, they can go to prep school for a year (usually they have used up their HS eligibility) to physically mature and prep for the college game. It's a low risk way to keep the options open.
"Bong hits" is not a sport...no matter how good you were at itI chose another sport.
