Some notes from the Duke board.

Would expect a visit to UConn as well before an announcement of a college destination but the reclassification thing is expected soon.
If he visits UConn, he might wait until school starts, then he can rub elbows with Clingan and the rest of the next championship team. I doubt he gave a silent verbal to Duke, but it is possible.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I feel like this Clingan "connection" is being way overstated. Is there anything beyond their mothers playing basketball together for 2 years 30 years ago? Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how that's going to remotely impact his decision, especially when Clingan won't even be here

I really thought that Filipowski was the piece that could bring us a NC last year. We lost him to Duke. We still won the natty. So if this Flagg thing happens, great. If not, we will still field a contender.

BTW, is Scheyer on the hot seat yet? The first time head coach finished third in the ACC and flamed out in the round of 32 in the NCAA tourney. Doubt the Dukies are big on patience.

No.

It's an "oh that's cool" situation. It doesn't really matter.

They are Duke insiders guys. Step back from the ledge.
Exactly. Their confidence is just based on prior chatter about wanting to go to Duke, and the fact that he did an unofficial. Any random schmo would post that.

I think the kid should skip college and go Overtime Elite or the G-League. Hey, we won't get him, but Duke not getting him makes me happy.

Maybe it’s the hair? It’s obviously hard to describe something like this. Just like if I asked you to explain why he belongs in a cornfield?
Definitely the hair for the cornfield. That short mop.

Looking on the optimistic side, even if Flagg were to commit to Duke, I’d think that would increase our chances of landing Betsey. Flagg would be the clear alpha in that Duke class, and would presumably be expected to take the lion’s share of the shots. That might turn even highly rated recruits off. I’d like us to focus on building our TEAM. Ngongba, Betsey, Edgecombe please and thank you.

Honestly if losing Flagg meant we ended up with Ngongba, Betsey and Edgecombe as a result sign me tf up.
