Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5198231, member: 1268"] Flagg is gone. Make no mistake. But it’s a genius marketing move for the Duke program. The first pick in the draft loves it here so much, he doesn’t want to leave to make 50mm. If I’m looking NCs the next 5-8 years, I will be hard pressed not to see them come out of: First tier Duke - Scheyer will continue to out recruit everyone UK - once Pope gets high caliber talent, watch out Bama Michigan - May is really good Florida - Golden is a rising coach Houston - Sampson is starting to recruit top kids UConn Second tier Pitino - he’s gonna be focused on pure portal, don’t think he can win it with his system with only portal players Pearl - could win it this year, but not a great in game coach Otz - not sure he can draw NC caliber talent to Ames regularly Painter - already discussed Lloyd - can’t get over hump Barnes - can’t keep getting this lucky in portal UNC and Indiana are TBD based on who their next coaches are [/QUOTE]
