Development, relationships, tough coaching. Sounds like a job for Danny.

Seems like one that could really be bolstered by Castle having a stellar one and done season

We were on this kid early but feels like a Duke or Kentucky type.

Why does he feel that way as I remember UConn won the last national championship, not UK and Duke

Did we thought? Still doesn’t seem real

We did, without any top 10 recruits.

Remember this article? The entire Final Four was devoid of top 50 recruits while teams stacked with McDonald's All Americans like Duke and Kentucky were early exits from the tournament.

There is not a single former McDonald's All-American in the Final Four for the first time in the modern era

Isn’t Duke linked to the Boozer twins and Cooper Flagg? They’re going to get Meleek too? Cmon surely we can get one of these guys. They can’t prioritize everyone.

Not sure they have enough basketballs for all the guys Duke is linked to right now in 2025 but you just listed probably their top four recruiting priorities. #1 and #2 in some order and another top ten and top twenty kid (who is the twin brother of #1 and the son of an ex-player).

It's not completely unrealistic, Boozer and Flagg are good enough to play two of the three frontcourt positions. Boozer #2 is a guard and so is Thomas, I guess Boozer #2 is more of a PG, but with so much time to grow and whatnot that could change.

Scheyer is not scared to recruit multiple players at the same position in the same year, it's an odd strategy but it seems to be working for him so far. I am kind of amazed they don't have more turnover to be honest. They have two 6'5 guys coming in, in 2024. They grabbed two centers and two PFs last year. Two PFs and two combo guards this year.

Odds are we won't get any of them. I hope the staff does everything to get Flagg though.
