I'd actually say that Occam's Razor would say the kid just changed his mind. Simpler explanation, and evidently what happened.

Why do we care why?
Easy, folks!

The related question I have been struggling with is why is it our business? I am a very curious person and a big part of me really wants to know why. But realistically, why is it my business? Maybe it was academic, or health, or family, or related to a girlfriend, or because one of our coaches did something to offend him (I have no inside information so I am not implying that it was any of these reasons - just speaking hypothetically)? Would he have an obligation to reveal this? Yes, these are public figures, but at some point we should also respect their privacy, move on and wish him the best of luck.
The only insider info I've seen mentioned in this thread relates to a report from a fan website with no attribution or real support -- was there anything else?
Well, I think it's fair to say that by definition, he's changed his mind about attending Duke. But it would seem highly likely that there was a (to him) compelling reason to do so.
Certainly it could have nothing to do with Hurt. As others have noted, it could be family-related, COVID-related or a million other reasons. It just seems likely to me that a change of heart during this particular time period would be due to him learning new information about his likely role with the team.

I thought Tapes failure to adhere to his commitment was very tacky. Or maybe it was the opposite of tacky. I’m stuck.
thank you...for those who care enough to post here, a subscription to the Devils Den is something like ten bucks a month, with promotional deals all the time...I personally think it's worth it. Less than a four pack of premium beer.
I'm not going to share someone else's premium info over here...so it's tough to respond to queries/challenges ....I know quite a few other DBR posters subscribe to TDD, and I believe that they find that it complements DBR very nicely.
Probably a good fit. I think he would have been at least a rotation guy for Duke but I’m sure the competition for PT won’t be as intense at Syracuse. If a guy wants assurance that he will play his only grad transfer year, Duke probably isn’t a good fit unless he’s a Travis or Blackshear level player.
just purely speculation on my part, but is Tape able to graduate since they couldn't finish classes. Without him graduating, I don't know if Duke could accept him without waiting a year or has this rule changed.
Good for him. I hope Duke beats the BLEEP out of Syracuse and dunks on Tape next year. Joking. Kinda. Tape seems like a good guy. Suddenly it went from another member in the brotherhood to Step Brothers. Never touch my drums! Feels like Syracuse is kinda always hanging out around the corner ready to swoop in on Duke transfers. Seriously good for him. Seems like a decent fella and a tough player.
