2025 Recruiting: Cooper Flagg

[HooperScooper]

“He’s had this meteoric rise,” Levinsky said. “It was like, OK, we know he’s Maine good. OK, he’s New England good. OK, he’s nationally good. Then he goes to Team USA and is two years younger than everyone else, and it’s ‘Oh my God, he’s internationally great.’ Then at Montverde, he starts over a top-10 player in the country and plays well there. And then he goes to Peach Jam and is the best player at Peach Jam. With every event, he’s not just good but the best.”

Didn’t like reading that CF likes playing golf. Duke has a great golf course right on campus, so does UNC. Ouch!

 

[UCTitleTown]

I think our biggest threat to losing him may be the pros, not Duke. He's being compared to Victor Wembanyama. Obviously they are completely different players, one 7'5" and the other 6'8", but from an impact perspective.

Not Duke, not the pros, the biggest threat here is Providence

I actually think he moves almost just like Michael Porter Jr before his back injury.

He’s got some more wiggle to his game and is of course a way better passer with a better motor. But they move pretty similar and our built the same size wise.

They've got as good shot as anyone!

It's a great thing that Momma Flagg was a hooper herself and is so involved in Cooper and Ace's basketball journeys. Hopefully the northeast pride and geography plays a factor in the College decision as it did with AAU. Clearly the Flagg circle wants both to play close to home at Maine. Hopefully Hurley and Co. can continue to build a strong relationship with the Flagg family.

And not far from Boston either if they are Celtics diehards. I wouldn't be surprised if Brad Stevens is gonna try to finesse a trade to land Cooper in whatever draft he lands in. They are loading up on picks.

Or Bryant.

Finally the multiple Bryant offers make sense

Since Providence only has a few schollys a year and multiple top 20 players waiting in line, they are using Bryant as a sort of JC/ prep school to tuck these All Americans away until an opening arises

 

[TheHorde]

Sorry guys this is horrible news

 

[dogpause]

He get's homesick, and his momma misses him. He'll be a Huskie.

Yes, but for his mom, PC is twenty one minutes closer than Storrs by car. We're in trouble here.

We have a simulator literally inside our basketball arena. There are plenty of nice courses near UConn, too. I will personally pay for some guest passes to Lake of Isles if he wants

I have no knowledge of recruiting but coming off a title I’d say our stock is highest now.

In my mind it’s actually going to make it a little tougher for us in 2024. Flagg and Cam Boozer can certainly play together at Duke but it doesn’t seem like they are exactly interested in playing with each other. They seem like legit rivals.

By reclassifying to 2024 that removes that the conflict of them and each becomes the clear #1 ranking in their class and 2025 and 2026 drafts.

UConn vs Duke will be a tough challenge for 2024. I think we have a good shot regardless. We need to manifest Flagg to UConn into existence lol
