Cooper Flagg sets official UConn Visit!

[HuskyWarrior611]

So your view is that the best player to come out of New England in recent memory, who grew up in a basketball playing family, hasn't watched enough UConn games to have an idea of what its crowds are like at a basketball game? He didn't even watch last year, when a friend of the family was helping a team win a national championship? Sure, that's a reasonable assumption.

Wherever he goes to college, he's going for 7 months. And he'll be able to score with attractive women no matter how many or few are on campus. He's the child of a college basketball player playing at a basketball factory masquerading as a prep school. He will make his choice based on what will help his development and which group of coaches and players he wants to play with for one season. And he has access to whatever information he needs without having to see a Midnight Madness practice in person.

You don’t think that kind of experience is different in person?

Is it different to experience it in person in terms of getting to feel the energy? Of course it is. Having said that, in attempting to make a rational decision, it's not about feeling the energy in a building. It's knowing it's there. He is looking at three schools for which, if he goes there, he will play in front of large, rabid crowds. Since you know that, and I know that, why would you think he's not smart enough to know that?

Yeah. Power is a stud but isn’t projected to be more than a 2nd round pick. If they don’t get PN, they have no center and two very long skilled PFs. Duke should have wings to spare, so I doubt either can play much SF. Do they play Power or Flagg as small ball 5s?

Kansas has a top center coming in. KJ Adams would be a senior PF, he’s unlikely to get drafted unless he starts shooting 3s this year. They have some guards and SFs but really nobody who Flagg would compete with. Adams could play SF.

UConn should be a good situation. Wide open if Alex leaves, but even if he doesn’t they can make it work. All depends on what Flagg is expecting and how that fits in to each of these teams.

Yeah based on this we seem to have the best fit roster wise. Duke for sure seems like the worse.

If he goes there it’s just because he really, really wanted to go there.

Do you bring your first dates to Applebees too?

It’s not like that should factor into her decision once she gets to know you’re a very well off lawyer with a lot going for himself. The Applebees isn’t going to matter in the bigger picture, right?

Even with her other dates with successful men bringing her to Fleming’s.

Which, if you’re being honest, is consistent with just about everything that’s ever been said about the kid.

Following recruiting is less rational.

Just like most threads in here after a certain point is hit. SMH.

Clearly we need to fire Mora for conduct detrimental to men’s basketball recruiting.

Well, maybe just the brand director.

What’s your favorite tourney game to binge-watch them highlights? I usually go Arkansas or Gonzaga

The Championship game. Its fun watching SDSU almost make it a game at the end then watch all hope get crushed in a bout a 2 min span. lol!

I did unfortunately that’s why I’m asking how it went

 

[UCfor3]

We have the weirdest fanbase and I like the Red Sox and Browns so that's saying something. Superiority, Inferiority, insecurity and stupidity all wrapped up in a nice tidy package. We are quite the catch.

Bullseye.

 

[PAHusky]

Seriously some of you are just totally out of touch with reality. A HS kid as highly touted as Flagg doesn't give a fig how the terrible UConn football team does on the field, or the fan turnout at the game, or where he had dinner Friday night. Chill out you clowns. It's a long shot for him to come here anyways, but hopefully he had a good time hanging out with his potential future teammates and got a good sense of how close the team is.

And anyone that's outside of 99 and a few others that are claiming any sort of insider knowledge warrant even less respect than the normal mouth breathing boneyard poster.

Team Flagg holds the cards.. We got our shot

 

[AntG168]

Most publicity is good publicity. Cooper in storrs was a big deal. We’re a big deal. Successful visit

 

[Samoo]

Just out of curiosity, who are these "insiders'" ?

What did AD do wrong?

( I do not mean to sound like I am challenging this. Learned some bad news--had negative family issue weekend--am sorry )

No need to apologize, it's ok to challenge this. It is nonsense.

If the two things have nothing to do with each other, why do we so often take a basketball recruit to a football game?

Because there’s nothing else to do in that boring corner of the world. They took him to a chain restaurant, for crissakes.

Kids like playing for their school’s top program. They don’t care about other sports, at least not when they’re considering where to commit.

 

[krinklecut]

Insane you all think things like a football game or where they go to dinner or what that do has any bearing on any Flagg’s decision.

He’s being sold a program. Not on restaurants and activities. He’ll make his decision based on which program he feels like he best fits into.

 

[jleves]

I'm thinking it's time to shut this thread down and let a new one start with new information (and no football game discussion). Sound like a plan?

Superiority, Inferiority, insecurity and stupidity

Don't forget arrogance!
