Class of 2020 Patrick Tapé / Columbia Grad Transfer

[UpstateSM]

Looked Jeff Ermann up, he's a Maryland guy. Anybody know if he's got any credibility?

Makes sense if his Maryland sources told him it’s what’s going on. But that’s just my best, optimistic guess haha

 

[RF2044]

Wowwwwwww...

Competition is a good thing, everyone.

 

[cuse10]

Is he a 4 or a 5?

 

[cuse10]

If we get Tape does Bourama enter the transfer portal or does he share time with another senior?

Questions that need answers.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Is he a 4 or a 5?

He’s a small town 8. In LA/NYC, maybe a 6.

 

[Footey04]

He is a 5.

 

[Mareiniss]

If true, Tapé did a good job of masking his intentions... when this is announced it will be electrical.

 

[Briancuse]

If he flips from Duke to Syracuse, would that make him "Double Sided Tape?"

It's a sticky situation.

My uneducated guess...

If we get Tape, but Not Griffin:
5 - Sidibe (25mpg) Tape (15mpg)
4 - Marek (25mpg), Tape (15mpg)
3 - QG (25mpg), Marek (8mpg), Kadary (7mpg)

Totals:
Sidibe: 25mpg
Marek: 32mpg
Tape: 30mpg
QG: 25mpg

Griffin and Tape would be interesting... someone would lose major minutes, unleas Griffin got 20mpg up top and 10mpg at the 3 and takes that from Tape? Not sure how Kadary fits in then

Tape will play a total of ZERO minutes at the 3. Not sure where you have come up with this.

 

[RF2044]

We’re due for some positive news.
Add this kid and Griffin, and we’re cooking with gas again.

I did my math wrong, you’re correct. I do think him and Marek could play for a few minutes together If need be

Well, he said it was uneducated.

Are you figuring for all the time marek, sidibe and QC will be spending on the bench due to foul trouble?

I think having a capable backup will lead to them playing less.

also if Tape comes here, he’s gonna play. He’s not coming here to play 4 minutes

Correct Tapé will play 20-25 minutes every game unless in foul trouble. Him and Sidibe will be a nice combo at the 5.

Team will be better than last year

Agree. He’s great insurance for Marek and Sidibe who are in constant foul trouble

 

[Wrinkle]

He will start at the 5, and be three times the player Sidibe is

 

[FloridaFan]

He will start at the 5, and be three times the player Sidibe is

Let’s pump the brakes there with expectations

Slow down lol. Sidibe was better in most advanced metrics

Easy to have a good PER when you take two layups a game

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Sources said Syracuse remains in play for Tapé.

IF we flip Tape, I hope we wait for the transfer market to fully shake out.

Kids like Seattle guard Terrell Brown (First-team All-WAC, averaged 20.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists) might continue to pop up. Brown would be a great get...
