2025 Recruiting: Cooper Flagg

Feels like we need to have a couple top 10 picks and another nice tourny run this season to have a shot, but those are in play.

Feels like a

With 5 NC under 3 coaches in 25 years and a NYC presence I feel we are a Top 4 program. So yes, why not us??

The cool thing about Cooper Flagg is it seems we are at the very least, making Duke very nervous. He’s a luxury after all we aren’t very used to one-and-dones so if we get him wow very cool. If we don’t there will be a kid in his place who will want to be here 2-4 years to get better and potentially win another NC. All good no matter!

It's not K, it's K's recruiter. UConn can say "Maybe this guy will be in Hurley's league as a coach someday but he isn't now. Why would you want him learning the ropes on your dime?"

Kid’s from Maine and just moved to Florida; why not us?

Does he want to play in a F4?

That's the nice thing about the way pur program is built. If UK misses out on a five-star, they're screwed. If we miss out, no issue.

Hey Coop! We got some guys! Whaddaya say?

 

[Bboy Lace]

At this point I say we have a 50/50 chance

“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.

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.

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
