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

Let's face it. It never mattered where this kid went to school. He is making his family happy. I hope he never wins anything at this level or the next if he is really going to Dook

Honest question - what are the mechanisms that drop a dime to Trilly Donovan.

Conceivably, Flagg calls up Duke/Scheyer and says I'm committing.

Scheyer... Hang on, I need to send a DM to a Twitter account.

Yeah. Very weird

Or he called Hurley and told him he wasn’t coming.
 
Wonder if we’ll ever contend for top 10 recruits no matter how successful the program is? It’s crazy how many swings and misses we’ve had since Calhoun.

He calls Scheyer, word spreads through program, assistant/manager/player tells insider.

Then boom. Telephone. Most insiders on other sites have an assistant they’re connected to.

If not now coming off a national championship with a New England kid then idk when. It’s almost like these top kids feel like they have to go to these schools to be validated. But on the flip side Gonzaga has land kids like Chet Holgren. What we do know is with Hurley it won’t be for a lack of effort

Oh well, he wants to dork out.

It will be fun beating him.

Exactly, he actually has that look, and for the record, I always felt he looked like a Dukie. Also I had no idea his family were also such Duke fans or I would have known for sure where he was going. I’m not praising them like everyone else because now that I know that they were a Duke family, I think they knew where he was heading so why even come to UConn. Was there a motive? We all are huge UConn fans and our kids are also, are we really going to visit Duke because maybe our kid would commit to an arch enemy. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Well we just contended for one. We just didn't get him.

And does it really matter as long as we win with guys rated lower?

You're suggesting someone in the UConn camp texted Trilly Donovan?

That makes sense logistically, but that doesn't really answer why some assistant would DM a Twitter account or rather how does the same guy get all the scoops?

Not arguing against your reply.. legitimately don't understand - particularly if Trilly isn't involved in this in a "professional" capacity.

Ahem..... your forgot Stephon Castle before he's played a minute??

I think people look at Castle as a late riser. It wasn’t a heavily contested recruitment with the big name programs.

Which just speaks to the staffs eye for talent that they can identify a guy that was a top 10 talent super early.

Feel like it really hasn't been that many? Can't think of any big time ones besides Diallo but I'm sure I'm missing a few. Top 10 guys are always going to be ultra competitive.
