I don't think any of this in new information but.....

COOPER FLAGG, F, MONTVERDE (FLA.) ACADEMY​

Currently ranked: No. 1

Who is in the mix: Duke, Kansas, UConn and others.

Latest intel: Cooper Flagg made big headlines when he reclassified from 2025 and was ranked as the No. 1 player in the class of 2024. Shortly before that, he made headlines when he took an unofficial to Duke.

The general school of thought is that Jon Scheyer and the Blue Devils have an early lead for the 6-foot-8 forward from Maine, and there’s not any behind-the-scenes chatter to contradict that. However, the Blue Devils are not a stone cold lock for Flagg and Kansas and UConn have emerged as very viable competitors. In fact, Flagg is going to visit each of them along with Duke during the fall. While Flagg hasn't announced the visit dates just yet, sources have indicated that the visit to Storrs is likely to happen in late September with Kansas and Duke visits happening during the month of October. This one is going to be a lot of fun to watch.

I like the fact that he’s visiting UConn first, in late September. Not too cold yet leaves are just starting to turn, can meet both the men’s and the women’s team. Actually all the athletic teams. Not that it would cut any mustard but it can’t hurt either.

Sure but I hope we don’t expect a commit. He’s making all three of these visits.
 
Maybe he's a dog lover and they can arrange some time with Jonathan. Jonathan's a lot more lovable than a Jayhawk or a Blue Devil.

Doesnt matter how much a kid wants to go to his dream school if he really connects with a coach and it just feels right he will go to that school 9/10 times. I think HUrley can charm the heck out of him and the program, well Uconn sells itself.

I mean, he’s right. We don’t normally compete for players of this caliber.

Guys like this are Duke, Kentucky, Kansas usually. Money talks! He may never play college hoops but you never know.
 
I can’t officially comment but I always wondered how people who are seriously religious feel about playing for a school who uses the devil as a mascot.

I will say that despite being agnostic, I am still somehow able to see satans hand in Dukes basketball success.

Imagine going to or rooting for a Methodist university and rooting for a devil

Why do you think Providence has as good a chance as anyone with any recruit they want? Friars, umm hello?

The worst is the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. I mascot that's a demonic minister in the bible thumping South??? The mascot is beyond creepy too.

Both Wake and Duke were initially religious schools (Duke was Methodist, Wake was Baptist) who have been somewhat aligned since each was formed a couple decades before the Civil War. The story I was told was that Duke took the Blue Devils nickname from a WWI military unit. Wake then created theirs as a slight takeoff of Blue Devils (Demon vs Devil).

It could all be BS but for the most part I trust the source (a Wake grad I worked with nearly four decades ago).

Per a KU Insider:

Cooper Flagg | PF | #1 Overall Recruit for 2024
32.png

​
  • Kansas is in this recruitment for real. Flagg is generally considered a Duke lean, but KU isn’t backing off. He’s the Jayhawks’ top target for 2024, and I’m Hearing genuine belief that they’re in this thing.
  • Flagg is a legitimate star and will bring extraordinary hype wherever he goes.
  • There’s thought that KU is a better fit from a basketball perspective for the PF. Bill Self is commanding serious respect here.
  • I view this recruitment as KU vs. Duke, and I think it’s a toss-up right now, which I wouldn’t have said two weeks ago. I’ll have more to come.

Wishful thinking. Hawks have a shot. Huskies have a shot. Duke probably has the best shot. Before he reclassed, I think Duke might have lost him. Both UConn and KU would have holes at PF and Duke would have Boozer. Self doesn't have some unique approach to using a PF with skills.

I'd be surprised if Flagg makes a basketball decision here. These three schools won't affect his future vs each other. Pick the place you like best and feel comfortable.

If UConn isn't his choice, I hope he goes anywhere but Kansas. Just IMO.

I'm anti-Kansas, anti-Duke and anti-Kentucky. I can live with anyone else. I'm actual sorry for the sorry state of Cuse and BC basketball to even hate on them anymore.

I’d rather he go to UNC than Duke or Kansas. And certainly Kentucky if they were in the mix.

I get the Devil and Demon deal, but combining it with a deacon is next level weird.

Cannot agree more. Add to that the mascot that would scare the living out of anyone younger than twelve.

Kansas basketball: Can Bill Self pull off a commitment from Cooper Flagg?

The buzz of Cooper Flagg potentially becoming a Kansas basketball player continues to grow. Can Bill Self pull off one of his best recruiting moves yet?
throughthephog.com throughthephog.com

All of sudden fan-based articles and general publications are forgetting/ignoring/entirely discounting us.

Are we that far off the radar?

I still trust Dan Hurley and staff's ability to nail commitments from visits. But the vibe concerns me. Convince me otherwise.

The smugness of KU fans is getting under my skin.
 
Let's hope the day of reckoning comes for them on the court and we steamroll again.
