Just over a week ago Columbia transfer Patrick Tape made a verbal pledge to Duke. On Thursday, Tape opted to reopen his recruitment, multiple sources tell 247Sports.

Tape, a 6-foot-10 power forward, initially picked Duke on March 24th over interest from a host of high major programs including Georgetown, Maryland, Ohio State and Syracuse.

The Charlotte native averaged 11.9 points and 5.9 rebounds a game, while shooting 66.7-percent from the field during the 2018-2019 season. Tape sat out the 2019-2020 season.

Tape, who is regarded as one of the top available transfers, is eligible to play next year at whichever school he chooses.
