Good new Flagg article

A part of me wonders, did DC say come here and we’ll play together, like our mothers did? There’s no guarantee DC leaves. Remember this is a kid that was so loyal to his high school he played public for 4 years.

Clingan is going to the NBA. Hurley knows it, Donovan knows it, and everyone on this board should know it. He will never play with Flagg in college.

We have real inside sources on here saying the Clingan connection isn't going to sway Flagg at all. Believe them.

It may not matter for the final decision, but it may have opened doors and gotten us into the running.

Yeah, it's possible. And that's not at all what I'm addressing.

NJHoops made it abundantly clear that Flagg isn't coming here because of Clingan. I don't know why people keep harping on the connection when it doesn't matter.

I refuse to believe it “doesn’t matter”. Hurley and the staff made him the host for a reason. The staff arranged the photo shoot for a reason. There’s been rumors that Clingan and Flagg talk everyday.

Will it be THE REASON he comes here? No. But I don’t know why you keep harping on it not mattering when the staff thinks otherwise

Brought it up once and people responded to me. I wouldn't call that "harping on it."

I can tell you he wouldn’t be coming here without Donovan.

It matters, if he makes a pros and cons list, that connection makes the list in some shape or form. Even if it’s just if Hurley is good enough for the Clingans he’s good enough for us.
 
Don't get your hopes up.

What I said was this (can’t quote it because every Flagg thread eventually gets closed), that the fact that they played together doesn’t mean all that much. The only way he ends up at UConn is if the coaching somehow outweighs every other Duke positive for him (and he likes that coach, too).

Where are those rumors that they talk every day? Flaggs mom said they met when he visited.

Somewhere on twitter. And the rumor implied since the visit that’s been the case

This was the article, Zags said they speak often. It's a nice thing but I don't think it's particularly meaningful, and certainly isn't going to change his mind on a decision

Call me naive. Call me a sucker. But I just get a feeling the we’re gonna shock the world. In my Khalid El Amin voice. Flagg seems like the kid that has no problem blazing his own trail. Kid from Maine will choose to put his region on the map. You heard it here first. Go Huskies!

I truly hope they’ve got this pitch for him. If he goes to Duke, he’s just another great one and done, even among great white tall players, they’ve got a full hand of those already. If he comes to UConn, and I think Clingan has likely given his experience being Mr CT, he will be instantly thrust into our pantheon of great players. Whatever crap NBA team he ends up with he will see UConn jerseys in the stand following his career. I truly feel he won’t get that treatment at Duke in 1 year, they’ve got a rich tradition of guys somewhat like him
 
He can come to UConn and learn how to play hard and challenge himself. He can go to Dook and learn how to play soft no Defense ACC ball. Either way wherever he goes he will be loved and hated by his opponents. Hopefully his observations of our practice matter to him. If not, we'll be fine. Glad we are in it.

I'm hoping Cooper is like Ray Allen in how he'll assess the choices. He'll see through any hype and not be influenced by cheap stunts like Rick Pitino having the "Pitino's Welcomes Ray Allen" banner hanging in his restaurant when Ray went there for a meal while on his official visit to Kentucky.

That's why I agree with those who believe Cooper's connection with Donovan, whether it's new or has been in existence for some longer period of time, could be important.

If he's as mature as his mother says and he has a level of trust in DC he'll be much more likely to believe what DC says about the coaching staff, how they treat the players and how valuable the staff has been to his development.

And that level of maturity might also turn him off to the little Dukies and their "pogoing" up and down in the stands. Let us pray........it would be great to make them feel like 1999 all over again.

False. I live for likes. I scoff at those with less than 5k.

(Side note: I have no idea how they're calculated. Mine tripled sometime last spring and I have no idea why. I don't think it's calculated the way it used to be with 1 like = 1 reaction score)

50/50 shot on the calling people stupid. I have my moments.

I'm glad you made the cutoff 5,000 as I hate being scoffed at.:rolleyes:
As for the numbers, did you ever have another account that they may have merged with this one?

Everyone has their moments but as much as I can disagree with some comments I don't understand why some anonymous poster thinks they have the right to insult others or say they're stupid.

I know some party pooper will come in and remind us it doesn’t mean anything. But I’m not sure what other reason he’d follow Nowell, who wasn’t even around during his visit? I think it’s a good sign.

I think it just reaffirms what I already believe. He isn’t a Duke lock. I think this is much more of a 60-40 right now. One thing our staff doesn’t do on the recruiting trail is waste time. They pivot pretty quickly when they know they’re not in it. They’re one of the most efficient staffs in the country and they haven’t backed off of Flagg. They’ve instead put their foot on the gas even more. They know things we don’t and they heard, saw, know something that makes them believe Flagg is much more interested in being a husky than we’ve been lead to believe.
