Dom Amore’s Sunday Read: Why Cooper Flagg fits UConn’s model of ‘basketball people'

Wait, so do you know? If so it doesn't seem like there be any hoping one way or the other.
 
It is all fun and games until your school gets slighted by a generational talent who to me seems to be a perfect fit for with our culture. I hope it ain’t over and this may sound very biased but if he wants to win a national championship his chances with us from looking at the last 20 years is much better than with Dook. If it was still Coach K that would be one thing. This will sting for a few days if he chooses Dook, but we will rally and still win another chip before they do. Just like Dook, Kansas and KY always win the recruiting wars we win on the court. As far as I am concerned not getting CF is not the end of the world. Just a continuance of our reality as UConn fans. We loose the recruiting “battles” but win the national championship “wars.” I can live in that reality just fine.

The BY is the preeminent source of UConn news on the Internet. I mean, what are you refreshing the Courant for recruiting news, scheduling arrangements, coaching changes, etc.? Lol.

If you come to the boneyard expecting top notch journalism you’re at the wrong place. It’s a fan message board. Stop telling fans to stop fanning. If you just want news then go refresh the courant

^^^ We've got one returning guard and a freshman PG. That's it. I'm much more comfortable about Johnson + Singare than I am about our guard situation. I suppose we could also have Diarra, but still a need a SG. Biggest need we have by far.

Edit: to be clear, I was talking about Pat. Not Cooper.
Want list: Cooper, Edgecombe, Pat
Need list: Edgecombe, Pat, Cooper.

It seems crazy to be more concerned with Newton, Spencer and Castle than Johnson and Singare.

It's an odd comparison to begin with. Our starting 5 is strong across the board. Our bench is unproven.

How do our second string guards compare to second string bigs? That's harder to say.

Which is why a transfer guard always made the most sense for next year with Nowell and Ball. Edgecombe might be nice but the interest in him by this board did not seem to match the interest from the staff or in Edgecombe in UConn
 
I wish I received emails from some of y’all. It would truly make the workday a more exciting experience

I'm talking about 2024-25 when these guys would be here. None of those 3 guards will be here.

The actual news breaks here or is aggregated here better than any place online. Does anyone come here for "top notch journalism"? I don't care who posts what, I've been on iterations on the Yard since the Scout days in like 07 never blocked anyone, told anyone how to act, or whined and said pweeze lock the thread! Definitely been in my fair share of back and forths over the years (RIP @Pudge from FB board for years).

If you want to be a fanboy, be a fanboy!

Yes, I expect we will be all in on portal guards.

What I got today was visit checked the boxes (not news because others have said this) and there were more details I prefer not to share, (cue the haters). Time is on our side for any glimmer of hope. If we hear nothing that would be a good sign. Any news of a decision would be really really bad and all but confirm what I've got. Honestly I'm painting this as good guy positive as I can y'all. If I'm wrong and we end up landing him Hurley is a GD magician. I know what I have and where it came from. I also wouldn't ever count Hurley out until the announcement comes clean.

Ngongba I don't have as many details on but there was some info there as well that leads me to believe Dook locked that one up too.

Recruiting is never over until there is an announcement y'all know that.

Expect to hear a decision has been made soon as per Mrs Flagg's timeline. If and when that happens in the next couple days, lock it in. Until then hope we can drag this out a bit more.

Branham crystal ball for Duke on Flagg. I believe that's very new. Hasn't missed on a CB for 2024 player.

Doesn’t seem like Ngongba is a Duke lock from this article. Shall see

He also says what I've been saying about need. Pat is a bigger need, especially at Duke, who has no viable center next year.

Thanks for sharing!

Whether it’s good or bad news info is always appreciated. Nobody here is paid to do this so it’s cool when people decide to pass things along just because.

pay if forward. I live on here for breaking news (despite what others have said) when I finally had something worth sharing I figured I'd jump in. The crystal ball is confirmation unfortunately.

Assuming bad results.

John, come on now. If Flagg commits to UConn you're going to see it here before 75% of the Horde is even aware of it.

old days, yes.

New days. I get alerts. Will know instantly online. Crazy to think about that.

Boneyard old media. And horde is dinosaur! Lol.

I think this is a great aggregator and discussion of content . Why? Not because of the news, but because of the discussion. Crowdsourcing opinion, links, all viewpoints is better than a singular opinion, no matter how well sourced.
