r/CollegeBasketball user claims to have insider info on Cooper Flagg -> UConn*

Normally I don't trust people who call us "UCONN" but I'll make an exception here. I'm ready to be heartbroken, but I'm on the Flagg to UConn train. duck it.

 

[AntG168]

I’ve been saying it all along. Team AntG

For the first time today I actually allowed myself to envision our roster makeup with Flagg. I assume we are going to go portalling for a PG? Seems like we would have way too much talent to entrust the reigns to a true freshman.

 

[TheHorde]

Is it at all possible that Donovan might be thinking of staying at UConn for 3 years? I don’t consider that likely, but is it possible? I mean he could use NIL money to buy an insurance policy on his health to protect future earnings. Obviously this is total speculation, but what if that is a possibility and if he conveyed that to Cooper?

Solo!

I would love for this to be another thing I’m right about.

2024 Recruiting: - Tyler Betsey down to 7 schools

Solo!

I have never heard him described as a PG but a few months ago I hadn’t heard of him being a shooter either. I think we are gonna need some experience in the backcourt. 2-4 look to be high upside.

I just got out of a long term relationship with a girl. I think Flagg going to Duke would hurt more than that.

I'm ready to be hurt again.

I don’t think it’s likely, but he wouldn’t even need to use his NIL for that. I believe the schools can provide that for athletes

 

[NowInStorrs]

Just let him announce when he's ready.

(But hopefully it'll be to UConn)

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I’m not sold he’s coming here, but I’m happy where we’re at. It’s pretty amazing it’s this far along in his recruitment and we’re in this position.

 

[PNolanFan]

It’s too early to be Speculating on who we will put around him next year. I think that between nowell and ball it’s likely we will be good at the 1 however I am sure we will address it if we need to, right now we have 5 awesome freshman and 2 great recruits for next year and hoping for a third

 

[UconnU]

I think if Coop commits it becomes more likely.

 

[shizzle787]

We're doomed.

I've been a UConn fan since I was a child and now I'm on the back half of middle age. Hurley has us at a level that is at least, and maybe even beginning to exceed, peak Huskymania. If this happens as you describe...not 1, not 2....

I put a pretty thorough breakdown on here before from someone who evaluates PGs that said he had all the skills to be one. He seemed to handle PG duties with Castle overseas too.

I’d bet $3 that that’s what he’ll eventually be here if that’s not his role as a backup already this year. It’s his best shot at maximizing his NBA potential.

All this “Flagg to UConn” rumor stuff only means Duke goes harder this weekend. I don’t like it.

Not to mention that a front court that could include Flagg, Karaban, and potentially Clingan would be an exceptionally good passing front line.

What does “go harder” mean? Lmao. It’s a recruiting visit. Nothing they do makes Hurley their coach

If Scheyer and Dook v2.0 (post K) even begin to look desperate, it's over.

Good grief. Like every other athlete in the NCAA with a modicum of sense, if Clingan plays well enough to be drafted early, he will leave. Stop with this nonsense and enjoy Flagg's recruitment.

What if they offer him a lifetime supply of Arby’s?!

The more crazy rumors the more it feels like misdirection. Hope I’m wrong.

I don’t think I’ve heard a “crazy rumor”. And Flagg doesn’t seem like the type of kid to engage in “misdirection”. I struggle to see how that benefits him. I think it’s exactly what I’ve been saying. This is much more of a 60-40 race and it has been for a little while.

If he wanted to engage in misdirection he would’ve took the Kansas visit.
