Duke basketball: Blue Devils land Columbia graduate transfer Patrick Tape

Mike Krzyzewski has landed his first ever graduate transfer and it's Columbia's Patrick Tape.

The news was first reported by Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports on Tuesday night after the Blue Devils were interested in three Ivy League grad transfers, Tape, Harvard's Seth Towns, and Yale's Jordan Bruner.

Towns committed to Ohio State over Duke on SportsCenter without holding an offer from the Blue Devils and Bruner admitted that he heard from the Duke staff but not Mike Krzyzewski.

However, the Hall of Famer presumably got his man and it's a position of need as the Blue Devils were set to be without any experience in their front court next season with the graduation of Javin DeLaurier, Jack White, and Justin Robinson as freshman Vernon Carey Jr.
