Cooper Flagg sets ACC Freshman record

So let’s talk about McNeeley not the guy we did not get.

He's injured, out of the boot, feels good and probably has 2 - 4 more weeks before resuming play which gives more playing time for Mahaney, Stewart and Ross. That gives us more time to talk about those three players.

All accomplished in spite of this thread.
 
17 fouls shots is a lot, making 16 shows some serious shooting. Needing 42 from Flagg to beat a pretty weak ND team by 8 at home shows as much bad as good about the other guys on team (contrary to that thought is they are #7 O and #2 D on Kenpom so lot of games are run away wins).
 
I do wonder what Flaggs conversations with McNeeley were like after our visit.

Ngongba played only 5 minutes yesterday, huh?

He’s coming back off injury.

Duke is a massive team - they have an NBA sized roster and all three frosh are first rounders, if not lottery picks. They’re going to present defensive challenges to anyone they play.

I find the approach Scheyer took really interesting as it’s fully counter to Hurley as he practically flushed continuity. He pushed all his underachievers into the portal, brought in a haul of 5 stars mixed with 3 older portal kids to become the core of the team along with Proctor. Foster has even moved from starter to bench to now deep bench. It’s clear he’s much less on loyalty and continuity and much higher on pure talent. Let’s see if it works through March, and if it does, if it sets any tone on decision making with this UConn staff who puts emphasis on continuity.

Duke, Houston and UK will have big hauls coming in 2025.

Hey, we got McNeeley so I’m not complaining.

Nor am I. I just find it interesting. I’ll be curious to see if that young man hits the portal or not. These days who a program gets coming out of high school is often only one piece of the puzzle given the portal dynamics.

I promise you Hurley won't be looking towards Jon Scheyer for answers on how to run his program.

You left out UConn and our big haul coming in '25.

I REALLY like our haul and could give a hoot at other schools’ hauls. Not jealous of the alleged Ferraris that will be in their driveways at all.

Often a big part of winning is adapting to trends - no more Covid year, portal, all change the landscape annually. And I guarantee you if Duke wins it, he will. Hurley is not ignorant.

Yes, we had a good haul.
 
Am I in the minority in really hoping we are the 2 or 3 seed in the east with Duke? I'd even be okay with 4 or 5. Of course winning another region to see them in the FF would be great, but I would like nothing more that to see that game regardless. I think it could be a epic game.
 
He's nobody to me, and he's winning nothing

I don't care

Yes - yes you are.

Would love to see them, it's always fun beating Duke in the tournament.
 
Watched the game pre-Uconn game.
Lots of ISO play with him, and He went off on 3 pt shot which he usually is not good at.
they don't run things at all and lots of standing around when he has the rock.
It's all a risk when it comes to March when/if he has an off night.

Not a sour grape, just saying i'd not trade McNeeley for Flagg at this point.

They run bad stuff b/c of Scheyer, not Flagg – who would be even better in our system.

I'd trade any two of our guys for Flagg without a second's hesitation.

Love McNeeley and think he’s a great fit but let me sell you not one, but two sets of blue colored contacts because you have lost all objectivity if you wouldn’t take a co leader for player of the year.

And for those wanting some Duke in March, I’ll take them too, in the CG game. If you want them any earlier, I’ll get you a buy one get another pair free deal.

No way. Say it ain't true. Are you willing to give up Liam and AK for Flagg? I don't think Danny would agree with you.

I don't care when we get them. Beating them in the title game or final 4 would be fun but beating them to keep them out of the final 4 would also be fun.

whatever floats your boat...
I will just enjoy me some McNeeley time.
And Nothing will make me happier if they should meet whenever, McNeeley wins the match or we beat them.
