Duke basketball lands Columbia transfer center Patrick Tape

Posted Mar 24, 2020
One of Duke's biggest holes on next year's roster was supposed to be in the middle. After missing on a couple of post recruits in the class of 2020, coach Mike Krzyzewski faced having only one center on next year's roster. That changed Tuesday as Columbia graduate transfer Patrick Tape, a 6-foot-10, 230 pound interior player committed to Duke. (247 Sports)
