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

[HSPORANGE]

If Gerry strikes out again, how many more at-bats do we give him? Or does he have immunity as long as JB sticks?

Maybe we get tuck, but his dad sounds like "Syracuse is really really nice, but..."

I mean he should clearly be fired if he can not get a 18 year old kid to commit to Syracuse . It's completely his fault when he is lead and they decide to go elsewhere. Nothing else could factor into the kid's decision.

With pinson returning to UNC does that make knox to duke even more likely? Which would all but eliminate the Tucker waiting for the possible duke offer?

Will there be cake?

Do you televise a decision to go to G-Tech . . . . . . . . just wondering.

I 'think' Tucker has outright said he's down to just SU and GT. I don't think Duke will be a player.

They would be if they offered him! I do think Knox winds up at Duke so its not going to happen.

Tobias whatshisname televised his decision to go to Tennessee, so my guess is yes.

Tobias and the infamous painted rock at Tennessee.

The tea leaves suggest we are going to win this one.
Which is good for our roster.
We need Tucker and a PG.

Fingers crossed!!! I want something positive to discuss rather than disputing the merit of Hughes!

BTW, does anyone know how Tucker got the nickname Juiceman? Maybe he's always been an Orange fan?

C'monTucker! Let's Go Orange!

Correct...BUT if knox didn't pick duke and duke offers last minute to Tucker then he would absolutely go there. Just saying it's a scenario that could play out but more then likely wont. Part of the reason he has waited so long to commit is because he is waiting to see where all the chips fall for some of these other schools. (Duke)

Tucker ain't playing at Duke even if Knox doesn't go there. Catching splinters on his rear end would be another story...

Yes, but I'm thinking since he's talking about making an announcement soon on espn, Duke is out... they haven't even offered him so far as I know.

 

[kcsu]

Not to be negative but why would he take a late official to GT only to dump on them later.

Unofficial.

Just playing devils advocate...

Quade visited SU the week he chose Kentucky. I'm choosing to be optimistic.

 

[Briancuse]

Pastner was on the local sports radio morning show this AM in Atlanta. Not a mention of Tucker in the 40+ mins I was listening.

I could be wrong, but I don't think he can mention a recruit by name.

Maybe so his ESPN announcement has some meaning? if he only visits Syracuse then there isn't much wonder. just a different way to look at it maybe.

I really hope you are right. Maybe the Wildhack is pulling some strings for JB

 

[orangefog]

Will there be cake?

Will there be anyone there to conduct an interview?

 

[Day2]

Yeah but I assume Tucker knows his pick already and his father would be privy to that.

Unless they disagree...

 

[Day2]

Will there be cake?

End of next week?

Eddie izzard-cake or death

Not sure but I did find out there is a rapper from Atlanta named OJ Da Juiceman. Probably has nothing to do with his nickname though.

No he can't...sorry guys mental lapse on my part.
