[August_West]

It’s official.

easy call.

 

[TheHorde]

Lots of dominoes about to start falling. Many moves will impact subsequent moves.

 

[M.S.G.]

I guess mom wasn’t being all that forthcoming after all eh?

I think we have a puncher’s chance here but I don’t want to get my hopes up.. Lot of other targets available

And apparently commiting to the Maine Black Bears!

Not getting my hopes up even a little bit with this one. Should just prioritize Ngongba and Betsey.

We shouldn't prioritize anyone. Pursue them all the same and take the first to commit. We can't lose with any of these players.

 

[Com'rGordon]

Do we think him reclassifying helps, hurts, or doesn’t affect us?

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Do we think him reclassifying helps, hurts, or doesn’t affect us?

Don’t think it changes much. It was always expected

 

[Khal Drogo]

Need to get Jonathan XV involved. Mom won’t be able to resist.

 

[Com'rGordon]

Imagine not only our 2024 class with Flagg, but also the other guys who would I’m sure want to gravitate towards him.. Edgecombe and Ngongba would become locks I have to assume if they knew Flagg was coming

Do we think him reclassifying helps, hurts, or doesn’t affect us?

if anything, it hurts since he won’t be in the same class as the boozer twins anymore

[UCTitleTown]

I don't think Flagg plays a minute of college ball.

It's Flagg or Bust! Next year, UConn will be good and in the national spotlight, a good platform for him to ball for a year before going #1 in the NBA draft.

 

[bendm]

If anyone can steal a recruit from duke now it’s Hurley but still not getting my hopes up. As said above I’d rather have both ngongba and betsey

If we get Flagg after a year of having Castle we may start looking like a 1 and done school somewhat.

I’m here for it while mixing in the development pieces!

Definitely helps.

 

[Khal Drogo]

Getting some nice press out of it. It’s between Duke and UConn for the number one recruit in the country!!

I've come around to one and done. As long as the kids present a good image while here and represent the university well, I'm fine with them leaving for the NBA. High character, mature kids. I don't want entitled one and done "me first" players who destroy team chemistry. I trust Hurley to bring in the right kind of players. The NBA money will be there soon enough. Get kids that want to win championships above everything else while here.

Currently UConn doesn't have the luxury of worrying about perhaps hauling in too many 5-star players - but I am confident Hurley is not going to bring in players who aren't committed to working hard for however long they are Huskies.

 

[UconnU]

Let’s hope he values coaching and development. Not good that he’s only taken 1 visit. I don’t think his mother being friends with people close to the program is enough. Remaining hopeful though.

Again Cooper Flagg is a bonus and who wouldn’t want him? However this plays out the most important recruit right now is Betsey. When you become that program once again like now, need to keep the state studs home. Hope the RU guy is onto something.
