Hopefully Pat wasn't having such a good time that he doesn't remember how good it was lol. Ted's bartender is a much better source than car wash operator.
Such an interesting direct comparison, when essentially the only 2 guys we're currently actively/successfully recruiting take official visits a week or two before taking Duke visits together. Duke is of course the best recruiting school in the country and actively very much wants both guys.
It's probably not, but in my gut it feels like it could be a both or neither situation, considering their Duke visit experience should be somewhat correlated, and our bartending friend says they both had great UConn experiences (something we've heard from other sources as well and the track record of guys committing after visits in the Hurley regime is incredibly high so we know the visits are legit). Considering the recency, it will be pretty impossible for them not to compare the visit experiences directly.
That being said, each guy has different viewpoints and personalities and different things will appeal to them. But the "this will be your Duke Brotherhood" pitch they're going to use with Flagg, Ngongba, and Edgecombe visiting at once (similar to what we did with the recruits last season) is a powerful one, especially considering Duke's cache. Though if one of the recruits isn't sold, it'll weaken the pitch to the others (although they also extend that brotherhood thing to all the alumni and surely they'll have more than a few there for first night/Flagg).
I'm not optimistic, but deep down I want to be.
