Weber's poor recruiting decisions had a lot to do with it. I am not going to mention names, but he did not pursue or slow played kids that would have come and who played well elsewhere. Meanwhile, he prioritized prospects he had no realistic chance of landing.

I believe they changed that rule along with the new transfer rule changes last year. Grad transfers are now treated the same as any other transfer (I think).
What the hell does he mean by sometimes all you need is the opportunity??? He had all the opportunity in the world to excel here as a tenth year senior and more times than not he disappeared in big games!!!! We gave him the opportunity to play on the big stage and this is the thanks that we get!! Goodbye and good riddance.
OUCH!
He did not use an immediate transfer. He sat a year. He is eligible to play in the coming season.
I’m not certain, but I don’t think the staff was encouraging him to stay. No reason for sour grapes.
Not seeing how you're offended. Players move around these days. Get used to it.
He was a very solid player for us. Sucked that his last few games were with a injured shoulder. But he gave us two solid years which was really all we expected when we signed him.

Who hurt you?
We recruited over him basically. TSJ will be taking most of Jake’s opportunity next year.
CG was/is nothing but class. A very intelligent, well spoken, respectful young man.
Unless there is a direct matchup between the Beloved and Duke, I will be rooting for CG.
CG, you will be missed, but Duke is an excellent school. Best of luck and thanks for your contributions.

Jake has more opportunity for PT at duke next year than here with TSJ and Mayer ahead of him.

Illinois was the opportunity that made Duke a possibility. You're reading too much into it.
I believe the opportunity he was speaking of, was the one he got because from playing for Illinois.

Am assuming this is the French big that was alluded to earlier (I'm smart, lol). Interesting, tell me more.

Lol. Jake gave us a great boost when we needed help. I'm gonna go out a limb and say this was a respectful mutual departure. Oh and he didn't go to a rival he went to one of the best programs of the past 40 years. Exhale everyone, he didn't burn his Illinois jersey and leave us at the alter.
Recently won MVP of the first series of the Addidas Next Generation Tournament. I don't have a source but if you saw what I saw you know that it is him. Also checks all the boxes of what is known about this "mystery big".
