2025 Recruiting: Cooper Flagg

[Magic32]

I would love to have him choose UConn but never got my hopes up. Always felt he was Duke bound so didn't get too excited when there was UConn noise, felt like if he came it would be the icing on the cake of a good class. I'm not ruling it out yet either because the National Championship does carry weight.

Other than what fans want, what is the idea that it's 50/50 based on? Not reality as far as I can tell.

Correct its 49/51.

Today has the potential to be one of the worst days in UConn history

Were you in DC when we lost to George Mason? In the Rent where we gave up an unlosable game and couldn’t get the win to honor Jasper Howard against Rutgers?

Stuff going on today is all paperwork to set up the games. The worst days come when you lose on the field or the court, not when stuff around the games goes wrong.

Or the Christian Laettner look

Ok, so who’s our Rod Sellers if we face them in the Tournament?

If he makes it to our visit. I’d like to see how his recruitment looks after that.

If what is being “sky falling” w/ Flagg happens, it won’t be the first time ever. Not even the first time in 12 months. Remember Justin Edwards last year? That’s the recruiting game. There will be many more Flaggs to capture in our lifetime

Damn good line.

He’ll probably go to Duke. Is that really a shock?

We’ll get someone else if he does.

Nobody is devastated, it’s a false narrative from people who wanna be condescending.

Calling this "one of the worst days in UConn history" sounds pretty devastated to me.

Until or if Cooper does an OV.. You're wasting your energy..Does Scheyer want Cooper and the Boozer bros. in the same class playing the same position??

They won't be in the same class when Flagg reclassifies to 2024.

Was at both and my stomach turned from this…retriggered all over again..thanks biz

And kick their ass if the teams play.

They should. Those moments tore your guts out. Not conference realignment, and certainly not losing a recruit (not that that even happened).

 

[BlueMAB]

i figured we had as good a shot as anyone

we aren’t Providence

 

[Waquoit]

When UConn was mentioned as being a player here, the CW was "maybe" as opposed to "yeah right". That's my takeaway.

 

[CONN78SEJ]

Calling this "one of the worst days in UConn history" sounds pretty devastated to me.

Bill Curley, Wayne Turner & Randell Jackson, even Kevin Durant was talked about as maybe coming to UConn before Rick Barnes signed him. I’ve already added Flagg to the list.

RIP. Probably gave them a verbal on the visit

Picked up a third crystal ball yesterday evening as well

If he does you would be correct

 

[Psolo12]

This will genuinely never get old. It is hilarious.

Would expect a visit to UConn as well before an announcement of a college destination but the reclassification thing is expected soon.

Adam, I asked Sail this question and he deferred to you. So here goes:

Do you think Flagg's visit to Uconn is just a courtesy visit? I really like the way Flagg seems to be trending to Duke in the 24 class.

I think he's genuinely interested in UConn. They've got a lot going for them, are pitching serious NIL packages, and are basically the hometown team up there.
In the end, like you, I like the way Flagg seems to be trending to Duke in the 24 class but I think it's silly to dismiss the defending national champions this day and age.

Apparently momma Flagg didn’t make this trip. Looks good for him still making it here for a visit.

Also he stopped by Duke because it was on the way to Montverde. Didn’t get any buzz that he was expected to commit soon from their insiders.
