[ConnHuskBask]

Remember when we had the 2nd and 3rd overall pick in the draft but it tanked our season?

Yeah, that season was pretty bad even with the National Championship

Also had a top 5 recruit coming off the bench. Egos killed that team

Lock this thread. It’s ded. D. E. D. Ded!

Now another… essentially same point.

No, to be clear, your position was that getting Flagg might be bad for the program.

It's different to say "not a big deal if he doesn't come given that UConn is in very good shape from a recruiting standpoint." That is a logical take that most people would get behind. That's not at all what you said.

We haven't even sniffed Diamond Stone or Diallo levels of crazy yet...and we're not quite invested enough to get Kasongo'ed

Ahh… the momentum shifts in the thread but I never said “bad” just that it wouldn’t guarantee anything and has the potential to be a distraction. And that even if we don’t get him, we beat a lot of teams this year with highly touted recruits. I liked what we did.

So, change what I said, as many have here to make a point but what I am saying is not actually all that controversial - just another way of looking at different scenarios.

I’ve also said I still hope we land him. but no matter, let’s not let this get in the way of a good argument.

good luck becoming an attorney - going to need more skills than what you showed here. keep studying...

Again showing your intellect, I've been an attorney for about a year now. No more studying for me!

 

[Dfoss1978]

Seriously. Do we actually have a shot? This kid will have an Anthony Davis level impact At what ever school he chooses to grace with his presence for a year. Could it be us?

I’ll take his twin brother ‍♂️

Umm… maybe time to change your handle then… but either way, Congrats.

Seriously I think we can trust Hurley at this point especially on the recruiting front. Competing with Duke for generational talents is a nice place to be!

Agreed. He hasn’t given us a reason not to. I’m also a Patriots fan. I do take issue with the In Bill We Trust crowd. Terrific coach. All time coach. Terrible at drafting especially in recent years with no GM/coach division of power. But Hurley is at the top of his game right now.

That's pretty extreme.

Is it his love for Arby's; his antipathy toward ketchup & turkey; the spelling ambiguities between piñon & pinyon; the too many post-Jerry offshoots or just everything since The Warlocks including all jam bands?

Yes.

Or the never publishing the concluding episode of his saga in Scotland….

Who ever gets him will be only a one and done . He will be gone after 1 year regardless unless a season ending injury. Does hurly want to go all out for a one year player? My guess is Duke. Someone stated in a post that his family is moving to Florida soon. So location will no longer be in the mix. I would be shocked if he doesn’t end up at Duke.. even more shocked if he ends up in storrs.

this is the wildest thread i’ve seen for a player that hasn’t even demonstrated interest in uconn

 

[EZPass]

We are playing with house money which ever way his recruitment turns out. No one is expecting Cooper to come to UConn so it won’t be a failure if he doesn’t even as it brings positive conversation for the program.

We’re in shape to receive his only other visit according to actual insiders. We watched every game at Peach Jam. Do you really need the flashy edit from his instagram with 3 other schools he’s not really considering to believe we’re in the race? Or would some empty interview quotes do the trick?

Sign me up for the empty interview quotes!

This thread will easily hit another 200 posts and at least a page long argument about how we would be better off without Flagg.
