Class of 2020 Patrick Tapé / Columbia Grad Transfer

[HOFCeluck]

Not sure if Stanley (another part of Duke exodus), Smith, Mannion, and Cockburn are ready.
if they get drafted and given good money, does it really matter

it’s never about “being ready.”

Another victim of the the joke known as the “brotherhood”.

Now why exactly did K want Tape? Was it because JB wanted him?

Worked for Tucker.

North Carolina native. Columbia undergrad. Duke grad. Duke hoops. Kid’s going to work wherever he wants after college. Seems like a pretty judicious use of a grad year to me.

maybe he just wanted to be back in NC and get a duke degree. if he played a lot for duke that's nice too. Best of luck to him. no need to slam him.

We can still slam K. He’s more of a frenemy than a friend to JB. And the thing of it is, I don’t think JB realizes it. I feel the same way about LeBron and Melo.

That's great for him, but I'm talking about basketball minutes not grades and degrees.

I get it. But he’s the arbiter of whether he “wasted” his eligibility, not you ( or any of us for that matter).

 

[jdubs30]

He wanted to play and thought he would. Yes Duke is a great school but his choice was based on basketball first and the location was a bonus

 

[HOFCeluck]

Maybe he’s just not that good.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

But all of the transfers for basketball and football should come to SU. It’s a failure by the coaching staffs if they don’t.

I think that Duke degree may not be coming too soon. One year usually isn't enough to get a Master's at a first-tier school. Remember the celebration when Gillon got his? I'm not sure any of our other grad transfers have yet completed their course of study.

I’m not sure what a first-tier school is, but I can tell you my wife got her masters at Newhouse in 12 months.

Many master's programs are 1 year. I'd imagine coming from Columbia he might have received some credits ahead of time.

Was she a scholarship athlete while studying?

Not at the time. Might’ve taken her 15 months if she had been.

Just joshing. Obviously, you married well.

I remember a few years ago Seth Goldberg went off on the whole concept of "graduate transfers". The program had been in place about 5 seasons, and he said that no basketball player in the whole country had earned a graduate degree.

Of course, with the new transfer rules, academics will become even less of a priority to many college athletes.

I got a master's in communications at Boston University going full-time for an academic year

You didn't really think they were serious about that, did you?

 

[HOFCeluck]

Any word on if Geno Thorpe got his degree?
