From reading the board, I can see that people want Syracuse to offer Tucker a scholarship.  I hope we do not make an offer to him.  Hopefully JAB checks in with Mike K. and finds out why Tucker hardly got off the bench.  I stated this before: believe that Syracuse dodged a bullet when Jordan Tucker turned them down to go to Duke.

Forget the poor reputation that he earned from his official visit to Syracuse.  He was picked by a known national sporting magazine to be the difference maker for Duke basketballl supposedly shoring up the SF position.  This prediction may have been made prior to Marvin Bagley, III choosing late to go to Duke.  That was not anything he could foresee but still He could not even get off the bench to make a contribution.

Granted that Jordan's decision to go to Duke was partially based on it being his Dream School, but he did not have the foresight to look beyond his freshman year where highly ranked recruits like Cameron Reddish were already strongly leaning to Duke. He was always in danger to be recruited over.  It happened early where two of the top 5 recruits (Rowan Barrett and Reddish) both SFs committed to Duke for 2018-2019. He still had the chance to prove himself and could not get off the bench.  Less regarded Teammates like Alex O'Connell and Jack Delauier (sp?) have made stronger contributions to the team.
