Cooper Flagg on at 9pm tonight against Boozer twins

Moore of course went on to…..led them to three national championships.

Close.

That's what people in the thread have been saying and I'm not dismissing it. It's just that people on this board were making the same claim about ESPN hating UConn back when ESPN did show Big East/UConn games.

Every fanbase thinks national announcers and broadcasters are biased against their teams. Yeah, it's possible that we're the one fanbase that is right about it but that's not where the smart money is.'

What does smart money have to do with The Boneyard?

Obviously I wouldn’t put much faith in this, but I’m watching the Sixers vs Nets preseason game and the nets broadcaster said he heard Flagg is going to play for Danny Hurley at UConn.

Did he give any context? Or provide any reason why he thought that

Anybody have the audio ?

Frank Isola appears to be doing the color tonight, assuming that's who made the statement.

It's a Connecticut company that has been given (over the years) billions in tax breaks. Yet they rarely lift a finger in terms of support of the state university.

I really blame the governors. They have never leaned on ESPN the way other governors would have if they were a local asset.

Very good point- hit it right on the head!

No, he didn’t give any context or much explanation, unfortunately.

I think a palm reader is the next step.

 

[superjohn]

It’s a prediction. I wonder if it’s based off of anything he’s heard. Probably not but nice publicity none the less

For those who don’t have X

He said, "Just something I've heard."

 

[AntG168]

This audio is better. You can hear, “it’s just something I’ve heard” at the emd



This will be the nuttiest kick of all time

I heard he's the most plugged in person in history. He's more plug than man.

 

[Huskyforlife]

My guess is Dan told him we have a good shot and he’s running with it. Hard to say anything until the post Duke visit rumors start flying.

 

[TerryBoyz]

Color commentary all right. As in brown, as in BS.

As @JohnFSilver said in the other thread, I think Scalabrine makes sense. NBA connection

 

[Waquoit]

This ain't nothing, it's something.

The pluggiest.

My wife says that isnt a word. ;-)

Ask her about "fort the ead."

That’s if there is a Duke visit. Flagg already has visited Duke unofficially, and if he is leaning towards UConn, he could just cancel the Duke visit and announce. He is home now back from many days in Vegas. The next few days will be very telling on where he is going.

 

[Chief00]

How many times have we beaten Duke? We beat Duke when it counts the most!
1999
2004

[dennismenace]

I agree Dickie V has a Duke lean but he’s been absolutely respectable to UConn throughout his years as well.

And there’s no doubt Flagg seemingly has been a big Duke lean for a while. But if you want to report accurately there has to be a mention of UConns run to keep this kid in New England. By no means do I think he has marching orders but there is also no denying ESPN is a heavy Duke lover and will “assist” when they can.

And isn't the ESPN home of Syracuse alumni announcers?

 

[TheChamps990411]

They’ve been saying that all weekend. It’s been insufferable

When a kid keeps hearing that it sometimes doesnt have the effect intended. Its like the boyfriend that the parents just love, little by little the daughter starts rolling her eyes.

It's an anagram.
