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

Until that time when Cooper tells one of the two coaching staffs that he’s signing with them, the crystal ball wizards are doing nothing but throwing their best guess out there. Just like the Boneyard. Big Whoop de Doo.

I’m ashamed to admit I looked at Flaggs insta post and looked to see if he liked any of the Duke players comments. Surprisingly enough… it was his mom liking the comments that said something along the lines of “Duke is the move”. I went to double check the UConn photo and she didn’t like a single comment from any of our players even Donovan’s. I think that may be the most deflating nugget I’ve seen. It might be nothing but I doubt it

Take it for what it’s worth.

Maybe that’s their consolation prize? She’s thinking “awww, I feel bad, let me go spread some likes” and went and did that…

But seriously though, thanks for doing the “dirty work”. I do think there are things you can pick up on with stuff like this on social media, and history has shown that too.

I guess we will see. It’s absolutely stupid but I’m still hoping.
 
You’re 16 years old and your entire family loves Duke. Everyone you personally know has assumed pfor years that you’re going to Duke. The national media assumes that too, as does the entire Duke basketball staff and family.

But you decided that you like UConn better and want to go there. How do you reconcile that? How do you disappoint all these people? By sitting, waiting, waiting, until the Duke furor dies down. A week. Two weeks. Then, when things have gotten kind of quiet, you give Dan Hurley a call.

And he tells the adults to grow up and they’ll forget it when he’s making $100+ million

The crystal ball is 7. If he knew something that would be a 10. The 7 is probably where any rational person looking at the situation would be, 70/30 Duke.

The guy is just trying to get a ball in before they call it. No new info here.

No one knows anything, close knit family from eastern Maine. They’re probably legitimately seeing each campus and coming together afterward to decide where Cooper and Ace will attend college.

Did Coach K. promise Cooper that he will actually be secretly coaching when Cooper arrives in 2024?

Like...will he crouch down hiding under some of the old crusty bleacher sections, with big ole cobwebs dangling in his face and relay coaching and motivational tactics to Scheyer during the games?

Check for ear pieces in Scheyer's ears when Cooper's class arrives next year, folks. That must have been one of the 'points' Duke needed to address to get him to commit. We all know he wouldn't just go there to have his talent and development stunted by Jonny boy, right?

Can't fool me, Dukies. Nice try!

He always puts in 7, he’s nailed a ton in a row and they always announce shortly after.

Fwiw he puts a 7 in for every crystal ball and is 18/18 this year, with every CB going in 2-5ish days before the commitment.

Crystal balls and fanboy grandparents and Laettner jerseys and insta likes. There’s smoke all over the place even if there isn’t yet an open flame. Kid needs to just pull the trigger if it’s this clear cut.

The Laettner jersey did it for me, that’s how I knew. Why else would anyone have that shit lmfao it’s done

Anybody who likes Laettner is truly a hardcore Duke fan because nobody else can stand him. Not sure whether Flagg chose 32 as a throwback to him as a Duke “legend” but it wouldn’t be surprising.

This past 2 weeks has been the first time I have gotten sucked into a recruitment since like ‘11. It has been…something. Props to our staff for apparently making it an actual race and we are in as good or better shape than any program in the country.
