The Duke basketball coaching staff is eyeing the reigning Co-Player of the Year in the Ivy League.

Mike Krzyzewski and his coaching staff just landed the first graduate transfer in the history of the Duke basketball program, so could another be on the way?

Yes, just months after landing a commitment, then decommitment, followed by a recommitment of Columbia graduate transfer Patrick Tape, the Blue Devils could be in the market for a player very similar to Tape.

Paul Atkinson, the Co-Player of the Year in the Ivy League, announced his intention to transfer from the school this coming spring after reports surfaced that the league may not hold a 2020-21 basketball season because of the coronavirus pandemic.
