Cooper Flagg Thread V3

[Hunt for 7]

Well at least he thought enough about the program to visit. I guess it is realistic to think this is not great news or maybe just maybe he now knows if it ain’t Dook it is us. So we made an impression.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

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.

Your version is indeed wrong. My understanding is Duke is the favorite but that he did have an excellent visit here.

 

[auror]

Possibly he or his Mom decided they didn't want to play for an enabler.

Probably more likely he just wants to go to Duke and decided future other visits (as enjoyable as they are) are just a waste of time in the long run (or the Duke/Nike bag got enormous in fear of KU/Adidas).

 

[CL82]

Hmmmmm....

Probably using that weekend to set up an official visit with Providence.

 

[ToolzieFan]

No idea what to think of this.

 

[KembaKek]

I think you know exactly what to think of this

Brilliant insertion of the Providence joke bravo

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

 

[REB1094]

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

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

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.

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.

 

[Dooooooomed]

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.

Well that's certainly not good news. Necroing a 2 week old pro-Duke Tweet buried in his replies.

Nothing definitive of how to take it from the Duke boards.

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.

He's not gonna cancel his Duke visit, but we've got a real shot here.

 

[Mr. French]

Cancelling the KU visit can't possibly be bad news.

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

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

Trilly tripling down on Duke here. No surprises.

 

[runner11]

I am laughing at KansasHusky for saying this was a Kansas Duke race and that we had to give Flagg a bag for a sympathy visit.

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.

 

[Verne]

Duke is the 10-1 favorite if I had to put odds on it.

10-1s aren't favorites.

Dukes probably a 1/5 favorite.
