Class of 2020 Patrick Tapé / Columbia Grad Transfer

[Alsacs]

What Day said. The heavy sarcastic posts don’t suit you as a poster and someone I respect

It’s more for the people who can’t see the program objectively anymore.
Not you.

Also, Richmond is a long 6'6" (or 6'7" if you believe Donna Ditota's article) vs. Goodine's 6'3"

Yep. Kadary has the potential to be a menace in the zone. Some say he takes plays off on D, but can shut guys down when he wants to. So, hopefully he’s stays active up top. Not as taxing as having to man up every time down the floor on D. His length alone should be enough to make it difficult on opposing guards, so he doesn’t have to strain too much. He’s kind of built like Silent G, minus 20 pounds of muscle, and their games have some similarities. Think he could play the 1, 2, or 3 here, as well. His arms are freakishly long.

If he is that long, can he play the 3, if we need him to?

Haha. Saw this after my above reply.

If Tape is back in our court all of a sudden, could that be an indication that Hughes is staying? Might also explain why we’re out of the running for Towns.

I think that is wishful thinking. Hope I'm wrong

Wishful thinking about Hughes coming back or getting tape?

With proper committment to S&C, he could play the 4/5

 

[sufandu]

Or the Jeremy Grant height growth program.

Do we know that they want to play together?

 

[Gabjon]

Do we know that they want to play together?

they have talked about it per the interview with Donna.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Just heard the exact same thing. JB comments yesterday...I laughed at

What exactly is a high school recruit in air quotes?

howard washington 2.0

If true then what’s the point? Another bench warner who will transfer after his sophomore season. Yay.

Personally, I think he’s better suited for the college game than BG was. Brycen played stiff, timid, and had no
Iconfidence in what he was doing out there. Kadary has played better competition in HS, and to me he has shown the willingness to want the ball in pressure situations. We’ll see if it translates to big time basketball, but I’m confident it will, at least more so than it did for BG. They were both ranked about the same, but Kadary had better teams looking at him. Really don’t think we’re losing much, if anything, and are gaining a better skill set for JB’s system.

I'm not disputing any of that, but Brycen played for a prep powerhouse program, too.

Digging that we’re the only visit so far
Thought he missed the USV trip. Hmmm

Dropping a few notes in here -- talked to Tape a couple weeks ago but I was at a wedding in Boston and didn't have a computer to jump on here.

Told me he had to cancel USC because of the coronavirus, so I don't want to say Jake is wrong, but I don't think he's right. Of those schools, I think Syracuse is the only one he's visited in any official capacity -- feel free to jump in if there's been a visit to Duke that I didn't see. Also possible he's been over to Duke since he's a Charlotte kid. Worth noting though that his family is all UNC grads.

When I checked in with him he still wanted to wait to see what happens with Towns/Hughes and some other guys. Said he hadn't spoken with Seth in a while and I'm not sure if that's changed.

There were pictures of him in a Maryland uniform, so it looks like he visited there.
