The story is the timing of the follows

Those were all follows from his visit. Not new.

We definitely have the momentum despite the 100% forecasts for Duke.

Ahmad Nowell is absolutely a newer follow. Probably from the NBA top 100 camp

Sometimes kids want to do the unexpected because they're well, kids. Not get in line, be sheep. Shock the establishment. Could be a factor.

Was at the Rice/UConn game this past weekend. There was a random Duke alum there (his wife is a Rice alum). Told me that while Duke fans are "cautiously optimistic" about Flagg, having UConn be this close scares them poop-less (a certain word gets filtered out on this board). They won't start to feel good about Flagg till he's on campus. Thinks they'll be able to seal the deal there.

I asked if he rather face North Carolina or UConn in March. He said, "First of all, NCAA should do a lifetime ban on that school." And he doesn't like that UConn gains "power-ups" in March.

Dunno if he was just being nice since we were having a friendly convo, but he added this unprompted. He thinks it's crazy that people don't consider UConn a blue blood. Most of his friends don't even care about Indiana or UCLA.

Yep. We think Duke hates us 24/7...just not the case outside of Duke fans living in New England. Many Duke fans are super high on UConn as a program. To your point, they want to avoid us at all costs in March...but that's not a much different sentiment from other fan bases across the country.

I can tell you he wouldn’t be coming here without Donovan.

Exactly. It's like the sewer theory. The relationship doesn't mean he's coming here but without it there's no chance. And if K was there we'd have no chance. But today's Duke isn't the Duke he grew up with. That's our shot.

With the instagram stuff, i am upgrading my odds of getting him from 12% ---> 16%

What people? We have 5 freakin' titles same as them.

Ha ha, th the power up thing is a great line. It's funny because it's true.

And yes North Carolina should be banned. So should Kansas, and of course Louisville. I did add a certain Canadian school, but they've effectively banned themselves from the postseason.

no

 

[temery]

no

Reply checks out. Ewekon wouldn't have answered.

Blue blood has no set definition which makes the discussion convoluted at best.

Some take it as having the most titles. Some as having sustained success. Some as being one of the creators of the game. Some as being great since people were watching TV in black and white. And there are more definitions people use.

I've heard people rattle off lists which include programs as inconsequential as Gonzaga and Cuse. And others who only include "the big four" UCLA, UK, KU and UNC (yes they dropped IU because they wear red, not kidding about these people).

WHEN Cooper Flagg commits to UConn i will treat first 10 people who like my comment to a meal at Thai Palace in bloomfield

Did you just say “when”, not “if”?
That’s it. I’m taking you out to a meal, you name the place.

Was walking through a Walmart in Richmond, Virginia wearing one of my numerous UConn National Championship shirts and this old guy comes up to me and goes "BOOO CALHOUN BOOOO" and we proceeded to talk about UConn basketball and Duke Basketball (he was a Duke fan).
Guy was probably about 80 years old and saying things like "I think ya'll are getting Coop". Couldn't believe an 80ish year old guy would know anything about who Cooper Flagg lol. Ended the conversation by telling me Hurley is the best coach in the Country and God Bless. There are some decent Duke fans out there I guess....

Was it this guy? If so I like our chances

From Trilly Donovan:
Flagg takes his official visit to Duke next weekend. The Blue Devils remain the favorite here. Flagg will announce his decision following the visit.

Love that guy’s confidence.

Love that guy’s confidence.

And just a few short hours later, they did shock the world! That was truly the BEST game.

 

[August_West]

We were great and knocking on the door almost a decade until then but THIS was the exact moment that UConn became UConn! Before the tip. Khalid. And then getting it done. There is no Kemba, Mek, Napier, without Khalid setting this attitude for our program. It's carried through the program through 3 coaches and today. Thanks Kid for setting our identity.

Absolutely no fear.
