Flagg has 3 months until he can sign an NLI. We can get there.Guys, we need to step it up. We've got like 70 pages to go to reach Diamond Stone territory.

I think he’ll announce a commitment to either Duke or UConn prior to an OV, and will call both coaches the night before.i will take this seriously when he is on campus for a OV
Nan?It just sucks some party pooper will lock it eventually.

But we have the D'Amelio's and they don't!!!We're going up against the 2 biggest bag droppers in the country. Let's hope the money doesn't sway him considering he'll be signing a $35M contract in June 2025 as the #1 draft pick.

All I've wanted is for the staff to get him on campus so they can work their magic...Like I've said before, I think he could be one of the exceptions to NIL stuff because of how big his footprint is nationally. He's going to get huge national NIL $ no matter where he ends up.
Probably just being overly optimistic, but can you blame me?

Because picking a program to play for a year has many more factors than just getting the most NIL money. Plus the NIL money he can get for a year probably pales in comparison to the guaranteed money difference from being the 1st or 2nd pick in the 2025 NBA draft. So wouldn't development, exposure, etc. be more important? Maybe he wants to be closer to Maine? Maybe he likes Hurley better than Scheyer or Self? So many factors involved.Why wouldn't you want to maximize your earnings this year and then do the same afterwards?
Maybe he will want to do that. Maybe he wants to win a championship at UConn. Who knowsWhy wouldn't you want to maximize your earnings this year and then do the same afterwards?

If we take off the blue tinted glasses, no. I hope we get Flagg, and I think we have a real shot. But his development the 1 year of college doesn't matter, he's going #1. His exposure doesn't matter between UConn and Duke, he's going to be the #1 story on SportsCenter every night no matter whatBecause picking a program to play for a year has many more factors than just getting the most NIL money.

Thank you for this. Otherwise, we may have forgotten that this thread is about you and not Cooper Flagg.Breaking news: Kemba Kek is taking this seriously

From my understanding, we have at least 2 collectives. Bleeding Blue and the D'Amelio one. I have no idea how much money either one has, but the vibe given off by the D'Amelio one was more about developing a person's brand and arranging sponsors and the like. Which is relatively worthless for players who aren't already famous coming in or going to be lottery/1st round picks. But could be extremely intriguing to someone who will likely have well over half a million followers before he sets foot on campus. Skill development not just on the court.Like I've said before, I think he could be one of the exceptions to NIL stuff because of how big his footprint is nationally.

Completely missing the context of what you're quoting. I didn't say any of that, the point is whether he goes to Duke or UConn he's going to develop and going to be the #1 pickHid development doesn't matter? To you or to him? From everything we've learned about this young man, he's not going to quit trying to be the best when the signing bonus wire hits his bank account -- he wants to perform at the highest level. So of course which program best prepares him to hit the NBA running is going to matter to him.
