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

[HooperScooper]

Ha. Chief said it would be a beautiful week so I trust him over Trilly

Now that's your biggest problem.

 

[KembaStepback]

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

 

[UConnSwag11]

Did Flagg announce or did Trilly look out for numero uno?

 

[ConnHuskBask]

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.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Next time hopefully everyone can relax and not get worked up over bs “sources”.

Yeah. Very weird

Or he called Hurley and told him he wasn’t coming.

I'm ready to do this next year with Dybantsa. Shoot for the stars, DH! We're all savages. We can take it

 

[Huskyforlife]

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.

I’d rather just not tbh.

Ball game. Onto the future

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.

Are we sure this Duke Gif isn’t for VJ or Pat?

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

 

[uconnever]

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?

 

[Nebraskan18]

Whelp it was a fun run. Best of luck Cooper, hope you have a great individual season followed by a first round exit and #2 pick in the draft behind Donovan.

Way to get us in the game Dan!

Hahaha I’m assuming this is a joke…

Steph Castle was #9

The burnerball link posted in the past couple of pages specifically says Flagg with the same gif

And here come the wild reactions...

 

[Mooch82]

In a perfect world it’s for VJ…but I doubt it. Too much chatter about Flagg this week for it not to be about him.

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

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Or he called Hurley and told him he wasn’t coming.

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

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.

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.

 

[HooperScooper]

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

Except the chicken littles keep telling us Castle wasn't top 10 when he committed to UConn. You can't win with that crowd.
