Tucker was the No. 82 overall recruit in the 2017 class according to 247Sports' Composite Rankings. He chose the Blue Devils over Indiana and Georgia Tech, among other programs. Tucker announced his decision to transfer out of Duke's program last month.
“We support Jordan and his family’s decision,” said Duke head men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewskiin a statement released via the school. “We appreciate his commitment to Duke during his time here. Jordan represented our program well and we wish him the very best moving forward.”
Tucker said his decision to transfer out of Duke's program was a simple one. It came down to playing time.
“It was pretty simple for me. I just needed playing time,” Tucker told The News & Observer. “Nothing negative. I just needed to play at the end of the day. And coach understands it. It was a mutual agreement.”
Tucker played in just two games for Duke. He averaged 7 minutes a contest, scoring three points a game.
The Blue Devils are 15-2 this season, ranked No. 7 in the country.
