Good new Flagg article

He seems to play with a bit of fire and attitude. I think that type of personality fits better with Hurley or in the Big East. Being a 1 and done.. he's about to enter a very physical league in a year where the season is what, almost 3 times as long against guys 20 years older than him and are far more physically developed and aren't going to go easy on him because of his current level of fame. If I'm him, give me the tougher more physical training ground to sharpen my teeth a bit.

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.

For real. Trying to make sense of 17 year olds actions on social media is what the boneyard is all about.

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.

This is pretty much it. Duke has the best odds to land him, always have, but he is NOT a Duke lock. We are in this thing. If he and his family already knew he was going to Duke he would’ve committed by now. As some other insiders and writers have said, we made a good impression and improved our position with him.

Does he follow any Duke players or committed recruits? If so, who?

Basically the whole Duke team including the MBB account.

Also I noticed he followed all our guys on the visit. I’m ashamed of myself that I know/noticed this when I followed Cooper on ig.

I need to get a life :D

I get it. Just answering a question for the most part.

It’s encouraging that he’s connecting with everyone like that.

Going to be interesting to see what comes out of the PN visit. Then in turn their Duke visit’s afterwards.

Like Maine said we’re the best fit. Especially when you look at the roster.

Sometimes kids want to do the unexpected because they're well, kids. Not get in line, be sheep. Shock the establishment. Could be a factor.
 
Was at the Rice/UConn game this past weekend. There was a random Duke alum there (his wife is a Rice alum). Told me that while Duke fans are "cautiously optimistic" about Flagg, having UConn be this close scares them poop-less (a certain word gets filtered out on this board). They won't start to feel good about Flagg till he's on campus. Thinks they'll be able to seal the deal there.

I asked if he rather face North Carolina or UConn in March. He said, "First of all, NCAA should do a lifetime ban on that school." And he doesn't like that UConn gains "power-ups" in March.

Dunno if he was just being nice since we were having a friendly convo, but he added this unprompted. He thinks it's crazy that people don't consider UConn a blue blood. Most of his friends don't even care about Indiana or UCLA.

Yep. We think Duke hates us 24/7...just not the case outside of Duke fans living in New England. Many Duke fans are super high on UConn as a program. To your point, they want to avoid us at all costs in March...but that's not a much different sentiment from other fan bases across the country.

Ha ha, th the power up thing is a great line. It's funny because it's true.

And yes North Carolina should be banned. So should Kansas, and of course Louisville. I did add a certain Canadian school, but they've effectively banned themselves from the postseason.

Blue blood has no set definition which makes the discussion convoluted at best.

Some take it as having the most titles. Some as having sustained success. Some as being one of the creators of the game. Some as being great since people were watching TV in black and white. And there are more definitions people use.

I've heard people rattle off lists which include programs as inconsequential as Gonzaga and Cuse. And others who only include "the big four" UCLA, UK, KU and UNC (yes they dropped IU because they wear red, not kidding about these people).

WHEN Cooper Flagg commits to UConn i will treat first 10 people who like my comment to a meal at Thai Palace in bloomfield

Did you just say “when”, not “if”?
That’s it. I’m taking you out to a meal, you name the place.
 
Was walking through a Walmart in Richmond, Virginia wearing one of my numerous UConn National Championship shirts and this old guy comes up to me and goes "BOOO CALHOUN BOOOO" and we proceeded to talk about UConn basketball and Duke Basketball (he was a Duke fan).
Guy was probably about 80 years old and saying things like "I think ya'll are getting Coop". Couldn't believe an 80ish year old guy would know anything about who Cooper Flagg lol. Ended the conversation by telling me Hurley is the best coach in the Country and God Bless. There are some decent Duke fans out there I guess....
