Hopefully they wisked him away mid 1st quarter

The recipe doesn't matter. Greek women use these articles to ensure outcomes:

This too. Dated a Greek girl freshman year. She shaved more than I did.

The dreary weather ass kicking in front of 20 people could not have helped our odds here.

That’s what I been saying all week. The Courant called it “ironic” that Flagg was visiting the same weekend we were going to get hammered by the Dook FT. It sure would be fun to get this guy as that would automatically put us in the NC conversation for the next two seasons. I am not an NIL expert but Dook has to be able to get him more$$$ than us. This guy looks to be one of those can’t miss type talents. We all owe coach Hurley for not only making us relevant again but even in Coach Calhoun’s days we were not at the table with the best players. Can’t wait until November!!

If we have a chance with Cooper and his recruitment is still open, maybe we can convince him to stop in for an unofficial during a Big East game this season. Crowd would be wildly different.

I really just don’t see why we didn’t avoid having that happen. It really is an embarrassment. I would have preferred a shopping trip to the Brass Mill Mall over this. Could have showed him where the 99 team set up to sign autographs before Filenes went under. Then an all you can carry NIL trip to the 99 cent store

Yep, the football game could be the deal-breaker. Yikes.

Guys, the #1 recruit in the nation isn’t making the most important decision of his life based on a college football game.

The Boneyard has some exceptionally dumb posters, but this thread is next level. A win or loss in a football game does not matter. It's about the tailgate experience, the same as every other college student. That's why it's a part of the visit

Right so how was that then?

I’m amazed some of you can even dress yourselves without assistance when I read stuff like this.

Also, "several members" of the UConn marching band are sick and they are worried about traveling together so no band at all at the football game today. Looks like the band made the decision without consulting the big honchos at the university.

Due to illness, the Marching Band will not attend UConn's football game

No the game probably didn’t hurt. But it was a waste of recruiting time. We could’ve been doing something that would help lol

Recruits flip all the time. Hurley and staff wouldn’t be wasting their time if they didn’t think they had a shot.

I don’t think it’s ridiculous to assume it doesn’t help us. The football team doesn’t help us recruit anyone to UConn who isn’t a borderline D2 football player. Seriously why not have the Women’s Volleyball team take him fishing or something? Literally any other activity that he might enjoy would have been a better use of time.

Volleyball was busy getting stomped by Seton Hall

On the other hand, can there be any doubt that men's basketball is the top sport at UConn?

Let's rephrase that as just basketball is tops.

It was to convince him that Duke is a football school, and UConn is all about basketball.

 

[Fishy]

Significant in that one of those 2 is riding the pine when Cooper commits. Plus isnt it positionless basketball now? Im sure Scheyer can find a way (like Hurley and Self) to get a 6'9" kid with a handle on the floor from 2-5

Oh, they definitely can. And there’s like a 95% chance they’ll get the chance.

But they have a kid very much like Flagg entering this year, so just batty that they can stockpile these five star small forwards and all of them take it on faith that they’ll start

Andrea has to cook up some magic in the kitchen tonite. Talk about pressure.
