There's nothing wrong with setting minimal expectations for the guy. I'm not sure any of us expect him to become a double-double guy. On paper, he fills a need. If he's able to become something of a Marshall Plumlee guy in 2015, then this was a very nice get. At minimum, he gives us size and depth at a position many of us were questioning.

He adds another true center that is much needed. I love this move, however, I don't expect him to produce huge numbers.
New poster here , long time reader decided to get an account today. Been a Duke fan since I was 10 and I am 40 now , first became a fan when Duke lost to UNLV in the tittle game in 1990, been a die hard ever since
After watching film on Patrick Tape , I am more excited for him than what I originally thought , I am optimistic that he can be more than just a role player next year and really contribute quality minutes.
Any way just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to the board , have always enjoyed reading.

Btw, I’m seeing on Columbia’s site, that it’s Patrick Tapé. Does anyone know if that’s right?
Regardless, I think you guys should tapér your expectations.

sounded like toupee in the video
Well if it’s pronounced like toupee then my jokes wouldn’t make any sense.
It’s pronounce tuh-payBtw, I’m seeing on Columbia’s site, that it’s Patrick Tapé. Does anyone know if that’s right?

Welcome to Duke! An experienced, physical presence inside, what's not to like.
OFC

On every block or dunk the call will be "time tuh-pay the price".
Kid could be talented enough to start from day 1...K likes experience and Mark will probably start eventually but I wouldn’t be surprised if both have their fair shares of Starts at C this season. Good get by the staff!
If by boozer you really mean javin, then yeah I’m with you.
I don't have access either, there is NOTHING else on twitter that goes into detail about this.
Could he have second thoughts if he knows Hurt is coming back??
Apparently there is a rumor that the NCAA is gonna allow any athlete to transfer (grad or not) and not have to sit out a year, it just hasn't been announced what year that goes into effect, maybe that has something to do with this??
No no exactly.. not trying to be a fire starter and it could be nothing.. just think from the title it’s interesting to read and there has to be a reason why.. he would get minutes here unless something is happening behind the scenes
Athletic reporting academic issue that he didn’t know duke didn’t have his major or something. Still listed as committed they said.
Kuminga coming in early!!! Okay I know nothing but I’d take that trade off..
1-4 Duke is loaded.
5 spot is questionable and could be Duke's Achillies heel next season.
When you’re reaction (mine) is “well i guess it helps our depth” when he committed, then i agree.
Heard Kuminga ship has sailed, but who knows. Duke sure could use Vernon Carey for another season
