Rumor- Dar Tucker, DePaul's top recruit, seeking out of LOI?

[Da Coach]

Sudden emergence of a rumor that the top DePaul recruit, Darquavius Tucker, a 5-star guard from Saginaw Arthur Hill High School, is seeking to get out of his LOI to DePaul. The rumor suggests he is interested in w=swirching to Indiana, now that Indiana has an open scholarship (Joey Shaw just left). Tucker is friends with Eric Gordon, and though they play a similar position, he had suggested at one time that he would like to play with Gordon.

That would require him to sit for 2 years, correct?

Why 2? I think it would be 1 year, similar to what Anthony Grundy had to do (though he went to a prep school to kill the extra year).

I believe without the prep school it would be 2 years before he can play. He just saves a year of eligibility with a prep school, correct?

If Depaul lets him out of his LOI, he could play next year, I think.
