Cooper Flagg Thread V3

[Huskyforlife]

Very cool idea to honor both families. This is the type of Hurley x UConn culture that can win an entire family over in a recruiting battle.

This kind of stuff really is priceless. I’m sure Clingan talked to Flagg about their families connection, and how special it would be to potentially play together/for the same school. I’m sure that’s kinda thing that spoke to Flaggs parents as well.

Hope he comes back for first night.

That jersey thing is really cool, more so for the guy who’s already ours, probably. Can’t forget about your own guys in all this.

Everyone preaches family in every program….Hurley just seems to mean it more and believe it than just about every other coach, and I think that resonates more than any of the flashy stuff that takes place on official visits

He practices what he preaches when it comes to the UConn family. He's made a huge effort over the past few years bringing back all the alumni players to speak at practices, watch games, etc. It's awesome for the program and for the fans to see these guys sticking around

Clingan is huge. And if mom loves Hurley….he’s ours. Work the mom Dan!!! Haha

On a serious note. Awesome moment. Must’ve been an incredibly emotional moment for Donovan

Things like this are exactly why we have a better chance than the insiders give us credit for

If we land Flagg and he gets the NIL deal I want credit for reminding Big Cat about it

Rudy Gay with the assist

If we land Flagg, I'll do a 180 and become a big Gay guy.

Chills!

Saw this clip on his ig. COLD ASF. Props to the whole staff. Everything looks top tier

 

[businesslawyer]

Does that look great? Of course it does. But for those who thought we didn’t have a chance and now we do, I have one question — WTF did you think was going to happen on his visit? The two families were friends. Of course that was going to be exploited by our staff.

So we played our card. Played it well, of course, but that should have been expected. And now we’ll see. I’d feel like we were favorites if Donovan wanted to come back for his Jr. year and play with Flagg, but I don’t expect that.

Got some other guys we might know as well

 

[uconngb]

I think 2014 was the first team to do so without any.

2011 had Kemba and Alex.

Pretty sure Deandre was 5*……I mean he was a top 15 recruit in the country I think that’s 5* status

I am sure it was, as is the date of the Kansas game.

Just noticed Cooper’s brother Ace is there too along with his parents and other brother(?).

Ace is rocking the full UConn uniform as well. Maybe it was considered an unofficial visit for him too? I know he’s had a solid summer with Maine United alongside Cooper.
He’s not a top 100 guy but may be a decent 3-4 star recruit. Haven’t seen anything about him reclassifying from 2025 to 2024 with Cooper which is interesting.

I don't believe he is, or he should. I think he will be a solid four star when everything is done though.

Probably more like we’ll take you both if Cooper comes. Which is fair.

Geno should take Mama Flagg if she has any eligibility left

 

[AllHusky]

Awesome stuff, fun to read and view. Looking through all this I just keep thinking that the FIRST first impression Flagg got could do it.

 

[HailUConn]

Our allures in no particular order:

Program is on the rise with Dan Hurley, UConn is basketball capital of the world, and We are reputed to haul in Champs in March.

No. 1 Coaching staff, bar none. Yes, no question about it. the whole cast.

Family and team values. Yes, family connections, value and tradition is Dan Hurley's Trump card.

The offense schemes that Dan Hurley's team runs. A player like Coop will thrive and flourish.



In Hurley we trust!

I don’t think the idea of Ace getting offered here and coming here is outlandish at all. Some think he’d just ride the bench. Is he less talented at the same age than say a Niels Griffey was? Are we sure he’d simply ride the bench for four years, or could he be a really nice role player and get to play and practice with his brother for another year?

I was using 247's list under their UConn page. They have both Alex and DeAndre as 4 stars.

UConnKev thanks for sharing that's awesome!

I was referencing him reclassing to 2024. I think he would be best served playing two more years in high school, or possibly do a Karaban. He has a good amount of potential, but he probably won't be ready next year and would be wasting a year of playing unless he comes as a redshirt freshman. JMO though.

I think he has the potential to be a solid four star (maybe as high as 75-150 in ranking) by the time he comes in, if he waits until 2025, hard to judge without knowing how much he will grow. He's only 16.

That’s true he might well need another year of development. So him overlapping a year with Cooper night well not be in the cards. But I think he has Big East conference contributor level in him. Good points man.
