In recent years they got Gbinije from us, and also landed Joe Girard who we were sort-of recruiting and Tyus Battle who we were more-seriously recruiting. Given our completely different styles of play it seems odd that we would be going after many of the same players.
I frequent both sites often. TDD is like chatting with my kids' friends. Then I come to DBR for some actual adult conversation.

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
I signed up for TDD but forgot my sign-in info. Think I’m still getting auto-charged for something there though.
What a bizarre few days. Tapé back to Duke.

You beat me to it. Of course, it's a blind link, so it doesn't count.

This thread is going to set the record for title changes.
Wow. I have a neck injury. Anybody know a good lawyer??
"Amazing what a minute can do."
What the...OK?
As if the world we’re all navigating right now isn’t surreal enough, there is the enigma that is Patrick Tape. Wow.
This puts the likelihood of Vernon leaving back up to 99% from my previous optimistic reading of this from 90%. Shoot.
I do think Tape fills a very important role for us next season. So this is a net positive, and as much as we may want to color our reaction with our whiplash I don’t think this changes anything.
And I was so excited because Tape’s decommit meant Carey was coming back!
Just kidding. Glad he is back on board. Hopefully he sticks around and gives us a solid ~15-20 minutes per game as needed.
This feels like when one of my kids starts talking and can't get the words out right, and I have to tell her to stop and think about what she wants to say before she actually says it. Couldn't Tape have waited a few weeks and pondered this decision internally before making any announcement(s)?
Anyways, if he is in fact on board then I'm glad. As we discussed the first time around, he feels a definite need on our roster. I'm glad nobody here trashed the kid when he decommitted like I've seen on some other boards.
