Jordan Tucker to transfer.

Oh well, just opens up another slot for someone else to fill.
I wish the kid luck wherever he goes. He just seemed a little passive to me.

Sorry to see him go.Cannot knock someone who does not think he is good enough to play especially since you only have a finite time to perform
I don't like it or understand what he's thinking. He had to know what he was getting into and what was coming next season as well.
I don't remember exactly how he said it but Battier was asked when he signed with Duke years ago if he was ready for Duke and the talent awaiting. His reply was vintage: They better be ready for me! That's the attitude the kids have to have. He came with a purpose to not be denied, and used defense to get time, then allowed his offense to catch up.

I don't think he really gave it enough time so he develop but lot's of talent in front of him and more on the way. Best of luck to him though. OFC
I watched him during the game Saturday as we were standing in the student section and he looked engaged and was cheering on his teammates. Kind of shocked after seeing him Saturday. Oh well, nobody wants to wait their turn anymore. Good luck to him
I really think he'll wind up at Syracuse, and ultimately help them:

I'm disappointed, but I wish him the best...unless he ever plays Duke.

I’m not sure how that works, but I think there might be certain restrictions. When Gbinije transferred there, the Orange were still in the Big East.
TJ Thorpe transferred in football from UNC to UVA ...Its a definite option....I also think the close relationship between K and Boeheim would make it easier too.

Dang it. I really thought he'd be a key player possibly next year and definitely his junior year. Why so impatient.
Nope, 99% of the time it's about playing time.
How many years in a row have we had a transfer now? Too many to count but it seems that with the recruiting switched to OAD and a talent-rich roster this has become the norm. It's not what I like about CBB but its indicative of today's CBB environment and influences. Kids want to play, think they can play anywhere due to success at HS, but it gets tough when everyone is a 5 star. Patience is not a virtue many HS BB players show when they get to college. Wish him well. He's leaving a great education opportunity behind. It's his dream. I hope he finds it.
Bye Felicia! Poor work ethic anyway and knew what he was getting into. Opens up another roster spot. These kids kill me thinking somebody owes them something! Work your *** off and maybe you can earn some playing time. Couldn't have left soon enough for me.
Wish him well.....bigger loss for him than us in my opinion.
I totally agree. If during practice and John tells you "I'm going to put you in and are you going to play hard" told me all I needed to hear about pretty ricky!
Now if he wants to transfer to unc there's no problem. He could play the next game. Let's just hope hof coach roy williams doesn't need him. If so hof coach roy williams will want Tucker to make a copy of Duke's game book. OFC
I don't have ill feelings towards him, but I think in no way is he ever going to play in the NBA, so a Duke diploma may have been a nice resume item for him later in life.
I think he will help someone, just probably thought he would beat out AOC coming in for that spot and got outworked. That would be my guess, because he was fairly highly sought.
I think the natural ability is definitely there, he just needs to work harder and get in the right situation.

I guess we do have some psychic detective profilers....
Happy for JT going somewhere else if he’s not happy at Duke. @DukefanKY — you nailed it.

I think ole Huck going 10 deep is the reason you never hear about it. Best of luck to JT.
Obviously not if you're a grad transfer as Cam Johnson proves. Undergrad as you say may prove different...OFC
