duke makes no sense for Brea. he'd be playing behind Proctor and Flagg and they have two 5* wings (Evans and Kueppel) and a 4* (harris) all coming off the bench.

Foster
Proctor / Evans / Harris
Flagg / Kueppel / Brea
Brown / Gilis
Maluach / Ngongba

cant understand why Harris hasnt decommited yet either. bringing in both brown and gilis, which pushes flagg to SF, buries Harris on the depth chart

 

[Verne]

The last thing Duke needs is another one dimensional 6'7 wing. That roster is wild. Cooper Flagg might be the 2nd best PG on the roster.

Flagg is the best pg on the roster.

It looks like Scheyer has no rationale beyond collecting shiny objects. It might work, but it's wild.

UNC makes all the sense in the world for Brea.

UNC has a ton of guards on their roster now, not sure it makes sense anymore

 

[superjohn]

It seems like Brea wants to play here. If McNeeley and Mahaney make it official I wonder if he's scared about playing time.

Not if they get Cade Tyson.

I don’t really care out of the 3 at this point, I just want 1 domino to fall.

With all due respect, he should be. Mahaney and McNeeley are both superior players. Brea averaged less than 7ppg as a junior at Dayton. Think we need to tamper expectations on him. I could see him being great in the Joey C role though.

McNeeley wouldn't take his minutes away but Mahaney would. McNeeley and then the first to commit between Mahaney/Brea is probably what the staff is going for? If they pull off all 3 though...omg

 

[ZooCougar]

Southbridge Mass is just outsde of walking distance from campus. I can't speak of the restaurants, but they have a decent sized Dominican population.

Just a bit outside.

 

[Rings R Us]

Don't really like that Duke has last visit (unless he has more lined up at a later date).

They will back up the ole Brinks truck to keep him away from us out of desperation.

 

[JohnnyJr]

Hopefully he hates that stupid baby

Hasn’t the Brinks truck been used on Flagg, Ngongba, etc?

 

[AllHusky]

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT BABY ABOUT ANYWAY?

We can bring in all 3 if AK and diarra leave and I hope we do if that happens but McNeeley would def compete with Brea for minutes on the wing. We had ball or cam starting at “SF” when Castle was out and Brea is bigger than both.

Koby Brea tells @On3sports Duke and UConn will be his only two visits.

Brea, one of the top shooters in this year’s Transfer Portal, previously issued a top five that included Duke, UConn, UNC, Kentucky, and Kansas.

Brea will be taking two visits to a pair of blue bloods over the next week with UConn through this weekend and then Duke next week.

Technically we can bring in all 3 if they stay too. Why not have a full 13 man roster this year.

Cause for some reason good players seem to worry about getting PT at UConn but not at Duke or Kansas or UK. Somehow They convince 5*s to come off the bench every year.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Trilly on McNeeley via discord “soon”

 

[Shine21]

 

[HailUConn]

So, we are his only visit? Does this mean it’s a done deal?

 

[JohnnyJr]

He must have really liked UConn already

Duke Basketball Recruiters Eye Familiar Face in Transfer Portal

Since the transfer portal era began, players who have departed certain ACC schools have landed within the conference: NC State’s Ben Middlebrooks began his coll

hopefully this means scheyer thinks Brea is a long shot. EDIT- CONFIRMED.

I'm guessing being honest to the recruits about their potential role buys you some good will with the player if he eventually ends up on your roster, but it also makes it harder to get that recruit/player to commit to that program/roster.

[Brochacho]

Well assuming that’s really good news.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Just a bit outside.

I'd recommend walking the Nipmuck trail instead of roads for at least part of that

 

[auror]

I wonder if Poplar entering the portal changed things on Duke's side. Or was Brea just using Duke for leverage and they decided not to play that game.
