Class of 2017 SG/SF Jordan Tucker (NY / GA) Leaving Duke to Butler

[JarHeadJim]

Time to change his twitter handle to "Blue Devil Man"

 

[PauliePeppas]

So theyll get Oconnell and Tucker and play 10 mins combined between the both of them. Meanwhile they would get 20-25 mins each minimum. Must be nice....

 

[two3zone]

At least the tweets are no longer cryptic. This looks like a 100% Duke commit.

Sounds like a dig at Cuse

 

[dasher]

The just do it.

Shows the sad state of the program when this board goes gaga over the #40 recruit.

It's not the ranking that matters. It's his shot. We lack outside shooting, and we don't have a 3. JT checks off both needs.

It's not. He knows he only got the offer because Knox went to UK.

 

[RF2044]

See how quick he commits now

Unfortunately, I think you're probably right.

 

[Briancuse]

I really hope that was sarcastic.

Next year we might be worse.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Second lol? No Jordan, look at their offer list for 2017...you were about 10th...Jermaine Samuels saw through their bs

 

[pfister1]

This will be interesting. If Duke can come in and get Tucker this late in the game, it shows why SU has been a non-factor since joining the ACC. I'm glad I haven't renewed my season tickets for next year.

Wait, what?

 

[dasher]

If he flips, to have it happen twice in one recruiting cycle, is just a kick in the nuts. At one time, for so many people, your word was your bond.

 

[Lucid]

OK Jordan, your move.

Popcorn and soda

Most of these kids are clowns, they don't give a hoot about their word.

But to be fair, we pretty much ignored Tucker for 6 months lol

Oh my God, it wasn't sarcastic. If you believe that, you are clueless. Who does B.C. have as good as either Battle or TT?

 

[Cuse9292]

Atl wasn't Lien

Bowman, maybe we are a little better than Bc, but we are in big trouble.

 

[dasher]

flips?

yes. Flips

 

[Trueblue25]

The obvious remains true.


His clearest, easiest path to the NBA is at SU.

You know what though? If he's confident in his abilities, has the spirit of a true competitor and thinks he's up to the challenge of earning substantial minutes at Duke...then good for him. I'll respect that.

We aren't finished yet.

Horrendous post.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Recruiting used to be fun to pay attention to.

I can't imagine how frustrating it is for the staff to worry that every kid they offer is really pursuing a Duke or U.K. offer. We need talent and we need it fast.

Would you respect it if he has already told the Syracuse coaches that he is going to Syracuse?
