Did Cooper commit to Duke?

I love the way the BY has pivoted away from the Flagg drama. I am guessing not many regulars will be clicking on this thread but wanted to record my thoughts on the last few weeks for posterity and my own mental health. I am a relative newbie to the BY. Actually joined I think after the 2014 championship but did not really post much and that year was fairly busy. Youngest son was born in May and I had just sold my company and was settling into a corporate gig. The reason for the post is that this situation with Flagg and in general following progress on recruits is something I will avoid moving forward. It leaves you with a different feeling than when we don’t play well. Talking about real things like why we could not win in January can be upsetting. But this thing with losing top recruits feels more like your girlfriend breaking up with you. Moving forward I will expend my BY energy complaining or giving kudos to our real players. Not dreaming about recruits that never choose us. Actually in the end this is probably better for us. Let’s keep our identity as the little engine that could. But I am not going to wish Dook well. I hope they miss the ncaa tourney this year and next and Scheyer turns out to not be the next Coach K. Don’t get me wrong I will read about progress in recruiting and analysis of actual commits. But this inside trader stuff on scoops that don’t exist that is fools gold or clickbait in our digital reality. No value.
I don’t think recruiting has ever been as unpredictable as it is now given the transfer portal landscape, NIL landscape, and conference realignment. If a player wants to be here then they will receive the full and rabid support of this fan base. I believe in this coaching staff, what they’ve built, and what they have to offer. Agree 100% it’s time to focus on the players that are here now.

I'm guessing he understandedly waits considering the horrible tragedy in Maine
Thanks for putting me in my place....the gif was in obvious jest but you felt the need to enlighten me. Thanks but I don't need your guidance on Cooper being from Maine. I live their every summer and the state has been a major part of my life and am heartbroken like many.

Are you friggin serious? I was in no way trying to put anyone in their place. You are WAY off on my intent here. Way off. This place sometimes...

I posted a dumb Gif & you replied by bringing up a mass shooting....yes obviously Cooper not going to announce today if he planed to. My point was his Duke commit intentions are apparently the worst kept secret in CBB so let UConn move on to "next" already....before the mass shooting.

I now appreciate that you meant no ill will in your post.... so moving on. Peace.

Yeah, I honestly thought you hadn't heard yet about the tragedy and were just waiting for a commit. Your gif lead me to believe that. Others felt that way as well seeing the handful of likes that I got. I was just trying to be helpful in letting you know. I posted without being rude, that he will probably wait. I wish you gave me the same courtesy but whatever. I honestly have no idea how you inferred ill intent from my post but no harm no foul I guess.
