Ngongba Visiting October 13th (First Night)

As a recap:

Trilly has said K state is in good position
Slater had a cryptic tweet that no one understands.
 
How much do recruits talk to each other? Is it possible a 4 and 5 like Flagg and Ngongbo want to play together, and Flagg let Ngongbo know his visit to UConn went really well?

This is tinfoil hat stuff, I know.

Is their family connection stronger than UConn's family connection?
Hopefully not, I'm just going by the fact that the Kansas State coach is always mentioned as the reason they lead

Well that could happen.................... at Duke too.

I almost have to say this....or Kansas. I really don't see PN going to KU though.
 
Absolutely. Wondering how much chatter is happening between Betsey/Ngongbo/Flagg with their similar visits planned
Have we pitched it? Why couldn’t we pull the same stunt we did with the “fab 5” and have them visit together? Would’ve been cool if doable

Would love to wow him, go to Duke’s first night and be in Flagg’s and VJ’s ear about how ours was.

We may have a need at SG next year too depending on how you look at the roster.
 
Kansas isn't even on the latest recruiting services lists for PN
It was tongue in cheek because the logo is on the first tweet in this thread. Flory Bidunga obviously put an end to that.

Duke desperately needs a center. They've got nothing coming back. Can't count them out. Hoping our first night make a strong impression, along with the success the staff has with 5s. Even Josh.

The timing of Ngongbo's announcement is certainly interesting, but it could just be coincidence.
 
Fine. You want to hear how dumb this is? No one said it wouldn't be great to have had Flagg here for Midnight Madness. People said it was not a big deal that he visited at another time. A UConn fan saying maybe it's a good thing that Ngongba is coming here for Midnight Madness, and wouldn't it be great if that causes him to commit, is not a statement that it makes a material difference. It's hopefulness (which you seem to despise but hey, you do your schtick). It's far, far more likely that someone coming to a school for a Midnight Madness shows that they are very serious about that school to begin with then that being there for that night is going to be a key in making their decision. And, by the way, even if I thought there was a glimmer of a chance that missing a MIdnight Madness is a huge disadvantage in a normal case, it certainly wouldn't be one for someone who has the benefits of having had a parent play Division 1 hoops and being at a school the primary purpose of which is to attract and develop Division 1 athletes where you know he has an intelligent team helping him make the decision.

Are you happy now that you forced someone to slam dunk on you, rather than leaving well enough alone?

Agree to disagree on this. I don’t think you’re understanding what I was trying to say. Maybe it’s my fault whatever don’t care.

PN is coming to an event that allows him to get the full UConn hoops experience. I’m very happy about that.

If what’s been reported about Flagg holding his decision until Spring to give us another opportunity, I’m happy about that too.
Good take on the late announcement. If UConn has another deep run and Scheyer underachieves again and gets further exposed, that can’t hurt our chances.

I also think Duke is less likely to wait to fill their class out than we are. Which may also help.

They already have 3 top 50 SFs and they’re still pursuing VJ.

Not that he wouldn’t play over all of them anyways.

Scholarship openings would be irrelevant here though. They’d just sweeten the NIL pot enough to cover tuition and have him walk on.

Duke doesn't know who is going to play. You can't project VJ as better based on a recruiting ranking. TJ Power is also probably not going in the draft, so a top 20 PF, as a sophomore, will also be around. They may get Cooper, but there is a serious lack of playing time for forwards on that 2024 Duke roster.

Nagongba may well go to Duke, they are wide open at Center. They have nobody. Even this year Filipowski is going to need to play the 5. They will wait forever for PN because they are desperate as hell for a 5 and it's him or a transfer.

My bad meant Flagg for the last part, not VJ.

And yeah the roster is wide open for PN. Would add to the excitement of getting him if it also means hurting Duke.
