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

[cuse91]

The plot thickens (not really, JB can't contact JT)

when did the quiet period start because wasn't tucker at duke yesterday? can someone explain these quiet period rules

 

[JLine]

I'm hoping he wants to play with the kid he was with today.

Hoping that Thorpe, and Tucker want to play with Tyus and Taurean. Imagine that shooting. The four T's burying threes.

What a coincidence. Can he get in trouble if he yells, "Pass it to Jordan, Buddy!"?

Can he hang out with a boom box with In Your Eyes playing on repeat??

 

[cuse91]

Yep.

I can see the 30 for 30 ad now, "what if I told you thousands of grown men obsessed over and 18 year old kid"

I'm not going to make it over to LakePoint tonight for hoops, but I am going to try and stop by tomorrow to catch some action.

MM and GB.

This is how we combat those NCAA bastards. Moyer as an extra recruiter and Buddy as an extra player.

The quit period doesn't apply to Duke or UK

It would make JB look senile. Other than that, no problemo.

 

[jordoo]

Hmm, leaves Duke with no commitment. Tweeting Hughes. Runs into Battle. JB shows K how it's done. Lots of weird that's good for us right in a row.

 

[JarHeadJim]

Guys relax! It's Friday night, pour your self a cold one. His Twitter handle is Juice Man Juice Man!!! He love Syracuse and will commit next week!! We got this!!

 

[pearl31]

just makes no real sense for his commitment to linger beyond this wknd (really beyond today) unless it's just for the attention

Make it a double!!!!!

 

[jordoo]

I'm drinking a lot of Tito's

 

[dasher]

JB should drop his wallet on the floor and yell for Tucker to help an old man pick up his wallet and just walk away.

Love it, Jim. Keep the positive vibes coming.

I take it you haven't met Danielle, the USF fan whose picture I posted on page 5 of the Geno Thorpe thread, otherwise you wouldn't be wasting your time in this thread.

 

[Orangefan1]

Dasher what are you thinking? Still duke?

 

[JarHeadJim]

Love it, Jim. Keep the positive vibes coming.

Oh yes I saw that!!! Very nice!! I'm shocked the admins haven't deleted it yet.

b*tches Lloyd, b*tches

FWIW, I showed one of my employees (UF grad and die hard Gator fan - posts on their messageboard) this Jordan Tucker thread and he said "This is for one player!? Is he the top ranked kid in the country?.." Me: "No, no, he's a, uh, 4 star recruit."

...wasn't expecting an SEC Football fan to think we're crazy.

 

[Trueblue25]

What the heck. I will too. Doubt he does so this weekend, with Mother's Day and all. I'm going to say mid-week. LGO!! Trueblue25, thanks for planting the seeds of optimism.

I BELIEVE!!! LGO!!!

Christ i need an aspirin. This is plucking the heart strings like an old big east SU Nova game.

His dad said end of this week. Now that was before the Duke offer, so I think it's both good and bad if this extends to Sunday and beyond. Good because Duke couldn't close right away. Bad because he's still thinking about it.

I also think GT is out of the race. Durham is less than six hours from Atlanta. That's close enough. And even if Tucker picks Duke, I think he made his preference for SU over GT clear with that Snapchat.

 

[Trueblue25]

I will eat the smugness of Duke fans like dome dogs and wash them down with the tears of Tech fans like Dome foam.

I don't have the quiet period start date. That said, I do know that all face-to-face meetings between recruits and players have to be conducted ON campus. You also cannot go to high school games but JB is allowed to attend the EYBL event because he is there to watch his son Buddy. You can speak to players and parents on the phone. Fans can obsess over recruits on the Internet and social media.

Question is: how was K able to host JT and his dad at what looks like K's house? As I understand it, that would be a violation. I just find it hard to believe K would be posed for that picture, unless it was somewhere on campus? I really have no clue.

This worked out okay for Jayson Tatum; he's going to be a top 5-10 pick.

You just like to be contrary. Tucker is no Tatum and their games are dissimilar. I wish somebody would muzzle you. How's it feel to want to argue every single point?
