I can't tell you how excited I'd be to get Cooper Flag. Crazy that he's only 16. He already plays like a pro.

Cannot say enough about our head coach. We need to hold on to him no matter what and no matter how!

From a Kentucky beat writer:

Between Dan Hurley, Luke & Kimani, we have a pretty “cool & relatable” coaching staff. Combined with their on court success, along with Tom Moore as a silent assassin, wouldn’t trade this crew for any in the nation
 
USC, Arkansas, Gonzaga, Oklahoma State, Memphis. Those are the past 5 schools to last the #1 overall recruit. Why not us? When you are coming off a 'ship, no recruit is impossible.

Duke did improve down the stretch which bodes well for Scheyer but he is still unproven. If they fail to meet expectations, if DC becomes a national story, if x, y or z happen, yada yada. It's good to be in the mix.

Ill take his twin brother Ace as a package deal if it gets Cooper here. Cooper is reallly impressive, but ace knows how to play too.They said got West Virginia offer, but he’ll get more soon.

I agree. Cooper gets all the headlines, rightfully so. Ace could be a nice roll player for a good team too. My buddy in Maine says Ace can be solid as a DI player. They are still 16. Plus there is their redhead teammate (who's name escapes me) , who will be a DI guy too. A lil uptick in Maie basketball this past year.

I had no idea his mom played ball with Donovan Clingan's mother. I'm sure that's been posted but considering geographic proximity for Cooper's family, and Coach Hurley obviously loving what he does you can't rule anything out. And it's nice to be the Champs.

Is there anyone whose mom Mrs. Clingan didn't play with? I'm not complaining, it's just funny how this same story keeps coming out lol.

It wasn't heavily reported on at the time, but John Fanta did mention during a podcast before UConn/Gonzaga that Julian Strawther's mom and Stacey Clingan played together in high school.

Ok, so maybe it's only been two stories. I thought for some reason there was someone else but I might be making it up.

Best assist for Donovan next season will not be on the BB court.. It's getting Cooper on campus for an OV.. He knows it and Danny knows it.. Like our chances for that to happen.
 
Cooper is familiar with several guys on the current team. The best thing Donovan can do, for himself and for recruiting, is ball out this season and show again that this staff can develop a big. The staff will know soon enough if they’re a legit option for Flagg and then comes the fun part of balancing that while recruiting ‘24 bigs while also considering that Flagg could reclassify as a young ‘24.
 
I honestly don’t see the appeal of Duke that some of these recruits see. I get that the campus revolves around their men’s bball team and I could see it if Coach K were still there but he isn’t. Sheyer just literally did less with more than maybe anyone outside of Calipari in his first year as head coach last year. Dan Hurley would coach circles around him blindfolded with 2 hands tied behind his back. Just hoping Flagg is smart enough to see it. Duke could very well be headed into Indiana territory if they have a couple more down years. The ACC has also been very weak lately which doesn’t bode well.

I think he does reclass.
 
Cooper should be offered to have an ice cream flavor named after him at the UConn Dairy Bar like Hurley. Along with an NIL deal from said dairy bar and free ice cream for life there.
