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

[Footey04]

When is he announcing?

 

[rrlbees]

This was a tweet today before the Duke offer by his uncle. Seems like the family was split on where he should go. Jordan retweeted it.

 

[longtimefan]

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

And Duke ignored him forever, until yesterday.

Everyone feels the foundation rocking at their feet when a big boy comes knocking. This recruitment is not over yet though. Confident in our staff.

 

[jdubs30]

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

Well, if this is true, Quade did the same thing didn't he?

 

[Briancuse]

We aren't finished yet.

We need at least two solid players, if we don't get Tucker, where the heck do we turn?

 

[dasher]

The thing is, Tucker is a luxury for Duke. I hope this opens JB's eyes.

We aren't finished yet.

I've heard this for months. Of course we're not finished but there is no debate that we're not getting our first targets and the better players are being taken by others.

I like your posts Dash, but you see what we all see, this is trouble.

Where do you think?

 

[JarHeadJim]

Paging Sidney Wilson.

Has he? Where's this coming from?

Depends on the facts

 

[Briancuse]

Where do you think?

I really have no idea, and I am hoping the answer isn't grad transfer.

 

[Footey04]

Has he told syracuse he's coming

First, tucker hasn't committed to Duke yet. Second, Ayala is still out there. Let's wait until this plays out before we hit the panic button.

 

[jdubs30]

Let's see if Tucker actually goes to Duke before we all lose our minds. Most kids want the Duke/UK offer - it's a feather in your cap - but not all kids go to UK/Duke.

Why? you wouldn't take a White and a Gillon? Sign me up right this second.

Dash has hinted at this over the past few days... actually, he said it once outright.

 

[PauliePeppas]

I really thought Duke wasnt going to offer based on Evans and Francis info...oh well, on to the next

 

[Trueblue25]

Ayala and a grad transfer would be Plan B/C/D etc.

I think the staffs prioritized Sid as a 2018.

I really don't think Duke's shut the door on us though.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Our roster isn't a guaranteed tournament team with Tucker and much less without him. Wilson isn't going to help us much this year either.

 

[pfister1]

Where do you think?

Does Leo have anymore kids that we haven't heard about yet?

 

[Zepharus]

Gives me that pit of your stomach feel. This isn't the Cuse I know and love anymore. All these misses with recruiting where the blue bloods sneaking literally last second and take your lunch money is getting old fast. Watch a complete reversal of fortunes since leaving the BE...we've lost our identity and clout...feels like garbage

Not gillon. White - yes.

 

[two3zone]

Don't care, until he signs his name it's up in the air. Our coaches can't close it seems like.

I would, but I am not confident we can strike lightning twice, and I want someone who could possibly be here for more than a year.
