Think it’s slightly good news. Think he’s most likely going to duke with us and Kansas being long shots. Eliminating one of the long shots isn’t bad but probably doesn’t move the needle much
 
Anyone know anything about the Kansas situation? It’d be funny to believe that he only had Kansas in there for $$ and they couldn’t or wouldn’t come through, so he dropped them. Very unlikely, but would be real funny

We came from behind, made it a race, got into the top 2, and had him on campus for the full pitch. I’ll live with the results, whatever it ends up being
 
It eliminates the team who can throw the biggest NIL package. I also don't believe NIL is the biggest factor for him. He's on track to be able to make literally hundreds of millions in the NBA, an extra million in NIL now for a situation he doesn't want isn't likely going to sway him.

Not necessarily good news, he may have not enjoyed listening to our sales pitch, we didn’t move the needle an inch, he’s ready to go to Puke. Hope this version is completely wrong.

That very well could be true. Duke is the 10-1 favorite if I had to put odds on it. Just the fact that Hurley and Co. got him in for a visit speaks volumes to the job they are doing recruiting. I would be over the moon if Cooper chooses UConn, but I certainly don't expect it. Whatever he decides, UConn is in great hands with Hurley and Co. and I will wish the best to Cooper as long as he isn't playing against UConn.
 


Since taking a late summer unofficial to Duke and his recent official visit to UConn, Flagg has remained tight-lipped about the status of his recruitment. Throughout the process, though, behind the scenes indications have been that the Blue Devils began the process as the team to beat and that they are still in a strong position. Sources have indicated to 247Sports that the reigning National Champion Huskies did improve their standing with Flagg during his official visit and that they have made this a competitive battle to land the services of the the top ranked player in the country.

I don’t think it’s like that at all. Either Scheyer or Hurley is getting a phone call tonight. Or both.

I'll save you some time before some random fraudulent insider comes in and gives you some made up story that makes no sense: nobody on the Boneyard knows and if they did then they'd have broken the news here before Trilly.

Like if we thought this staff was tight lipped, they're not going to blab MORE about a recruitment as important as Cooper's.

This just isn't how recruiting works. 99.9% of the work has been done. There's no "race." It's not like a couple extra phone calls makes a difference or we send a new offensive set to showcase him.

NIL packages are together, pitches have been made (or will be on the Duke visit), relationships have been built.

It's just a matter of Cooper making a decision with his family based on their values and needs.

Our staff does not let info out.

90% of info at this point comes from the player side. And Cooper's family has been tight-lipped.

Makes for a boring off-season but our staff does things the right way.

If this is true, this has to be a direct result of the UConn visit, correct gang? That in his mind maybe he was so impressed with the visit here that it’s a 2 team race now?

If my math serves me, 50% chance of landing him is better than 33%. I'm waiting to hear his announcement of cancelling his dook visit. Then I'd say our chances of landing him would be pretty good.

Seriously, all this means is KU is out. As to where he's leaning, who knows?!?! He took a second official visit to UConn, so there must have been something that made it worth him doing that. It's going to come down to what coach and culture he feels fits him best. Maybe he'll like what he sees during his official visit to Duke. Maybe he'll come away from that visit, take a little time to compare the two and decide he likes coach Hurley and UConn's program better.

All in all I think there is still room for optimism.

Earlier reports indicated that Cooper might wait until the spring to announce. I wonder if that still holds true or not.

Anyone that thinks Duke is a lock is making a huge miscalculation. Sure, CF was a Duke fan as a child, but no New England team was a viable choice during those years. UConn was lost in the abyss of the AAC and didn't merit consideration. But all of that has changed in the past year.

Cancelling on a Kansas visit is the logical first step in choosing between UConn and Duke, and it didn't happen until shortly after Cooper's UConn visit. That means something. Also, the UConn visit scheduled by another top recruit, Ngongba, was announced a few days after CF completed his UConn visit.

Although Cooper could land at Duke, I believe his thinking has changed and things are pointing to both Cooper and Ngongba becoming Huskies. I've got a strong feeling about this.

After what bill Clingan said in spaces. This is big news guys. We’re legitimately in it

“Courtesy visit” LOL

What did Bill say?

Also I could’ve read it wrong but I thought Kansas was suppose to be the paid courtesy visit kansashusky was talking about.
