I get it - you're assuming the total happy path, but what if he comes out of the gates with struggles on defense and therefore doesn't get lots of minutes until February, what if he gets nicked up with an injury, etc. I think there are legitimate sad paths that could make it wise to come back for a second year. But, I hope not obviously.

Wouldn't even say that's really the case. I do expect their to be struggles for him, but he's still going to get a ton of minutes. And even if the worst case scenario plays out and he struggles most of the year, his NBA stock is still going to be at its peak after his freshman year so I'd still be surprised if he came back

They're very smart, which is why he'll be leaving for the NBA. Castle and Clingan are going to the NBA, the sooner we all accept that the better. I can only imagine the shock when Karaban declares if this is the reaction to Castle and Clingan

Clingan needs to make room for patrick anyway

You handpicked categories to try to favor UConn and still got a handful incorrect. It was a genuine attempt.

…….ok. I picked the things that mattered that I could think of lol. Most of them being basketball related reasons. And a handful incorrect? I’be yet to hear any good reason for the majority of what I stated to be “incorrect”.

Historical Success - I’ll concede
Fan Base - I’ll concede

After that your well runs dry lmao

Cooper just followed Andrew Hurley and Shabazz fwiw.

For those who don’t recall, Shabazz posted earlier about how Cooper and his brother need to go to UConn, so he’s probably involved in the recruitment in some way.

UConn Brotherhood!

There’s no basis for the ACC being a better basketball conference than the big east

Historic success and fan base are 2 of the debatables

I think the roster fit here is better

It correct proximity to home may not be a factor.

Still UConn checks off significantly more boxes

He lost me at conference LOL

You didn’t do campus. Didn’t do scholastics, NBA Pedigree, etc. Fit is obviously a wash, as I explained. Conference at best is a wash as well.

We’ll agree to disagree on conference. I don’t think scholastics matter to a kid who is spending 9 months in college. I’ve never seen Duke’s campus. Can’t speak on it

Is Andrew related to Dan, the current HC of the mens team, in anyway? this may be big...

Why would anyone follow andrew hurley if he was not coming? Probably the most positive piece of of information suggesting he is coming.

Flagg, Ngongba, Nowell, and Abrahams class added to what we’d have would make me do things society frowns upon. We’d need to add some shooting maybe through the portal. But what a squad we’d have next season

Have you seen UConn’s?

It’s been theorized we offered to play a game at Maine, near where he grew up, for him. His entire brand is centered around Maine. No chance Duke, with 3 other 5 star freshman wings, is offering to play a game in Maine for him.

I think Andrew might be an incredible recruiting piece. Part of the team, part of the family, but seems like he’d be fun to party with and talk turkey.

Him and Ace will be best boys, mark my words.
 
I am also hearing that if he commits to UConn there might be a game in Bangor...right down the street

there’s a casino directly across the street from the Cross Center for the bettors and a couple of really good restaurants and breweries in town. Bangor is a sneaky fun small town if you know what ur doing
