Ngongba to Duke

Me thinks you’ve got a little too much homerism going on. Just because Dook got these guys doesn’t mean it’s because they were bad mouthing UConn. It was Flaggs dream school all along. Who knows what convinced Ngongba. But people need to get over that every time a recruit picks someone other than the good guys it’s because A) there’s a conspiracy B) we didn’t want the guy anyway cuz he never fit our “mold” or “makeup” or C) the kid is an idiot and just ruined his career.

Not every recruit will pick UConn. Fine. We’ve always done pretty good with what we’ve had.

At Duke they say, "We've always done pretty well with what we've had."
That's what makes them part of the Brotherhood.

What is the negative recruiting pitch about UConn? Excellent academic school, 5 basketball titles in the 25 years, won the title last year, this years team looks to be excellent, championship coach who knows how to put guys in the league, top staff in college basketball. Hard to negative recruit that!

Kids are dumb, naive , gullible and too easily manipulated. Especially this generation.

They are probably right. I'd expect portal action after the season too, as Mitchell leaves, Power and Stewart need to consider where Duke will play Flagg. Probably at the 4, with Evans at the 3 spot and McCain at SG. Duke really did not need Cooper, should have come here.

Portal changes everything really.

If Duke doesn’t win it all in the next 2 years that is just embarrassing for their program and Scheyer

Nah, he'll just go full Calipari and talk about how getting people to the NBA was always the goal.

What’s it going to take for Scheyer & Duke to stop getting these recruits?
Expand ...
Flaming out in the postseason? Divisiveness and clubhouse problems? A massive portal exodus?

(Actually, as long as they have the coin, they're going to draw people in.)

Have to think Harris is wondering where he fits in this class

I was wondering why he committed so early…he’s definitely looking around. Edgecombe might be the decider, would be for me if I’m Harris.

My father has had his Facebook hacked at least half a dozen times. I'm not sure we can pin this one on generational gullibility.

Actually I think we can, ( I have 6 children including one with a doctorate in clinical nursing). I’ve had my Facebook account hacked twice and I needed to turn to my kids for advice on how to keep it from happening again. They’re all geniuses with modern technology ( mostly phones and gaming) but common sense is another matter entirely. We have a couple of mobile electronics stores and the clientele is younger and while they are polite they are clueless about most thing’s outside of their bubble consisting of Social media. JMHO. Just signed up for Fox sports app to get tonight’s game here in S Florida. The season is finally here, go UConn.

I call it different types of ignorance, not more or less.

He's a friend and former teammate of Ngongba, Duke people think he's still solidly in for them.

He's not going to Duke to play school.

One of my favorite Dean Smith moments was when he responded to the "JR (Can't) Reid" signs at Cameron by pointing out that he recruited Laettner and Danny Ferry and their combined SAT scores were lower than Reid and Scott Williams. Probably petty to air the kids out like that but I loved it.

Jorgensen said:
Yeah it’s not Evans

Tbh, I came here to suggest that Ngongba's timing is helpful to closing out this discussion, and shifting focus to the UConn Men's Basketball season that starts in short order.

Get your last licks in here and the other thread, and then all in for the 2023-24 Huskies.

For the benefit of @TheHorde, in response to Evans...

It's colder and UNC isn't right down the street.

EDIT: I've been to both multiple times, I'd party at UNC 10/10
Expand ...
Tell me if I have this correct. The negative recruiting would be it's colder in Connecticut and Dukes archrival is nearby and is an excellent party school?

I couldn't really believe he chose them with the guys to whom they had offers out, then some of them even committed.
 
Dook gets all the players, Scheyer is a HOF coach and the ESPN machine keeps churning. We will just count our rings. I would still lay even money we win another chip before Dook

Gonna be some unhappy Mcd AAs next year at Duke when they are getting 3 minutes a game

Maybe, but he probably won't be one of them.
 
I still can't believe Scheyer is sealing the deals here. Makes me mad.
Blows my mind that these recruits clearly are not trying to play for the best coach they can.
Kind of exposes the mentality of many one and done$.
 
I hate Duke with a passion…but the draft success of Paolo, Mark Williams and now Derek Lively is a pretty persuasive package for a young big with NBA dreams.

I also agree that the media is doing their hardest to convince people Scheyer is Coach K 2.0….they tried the same thing to a lesser extent with Kyle Neptune
