Report: Cooper Flagg cancels visit to Kansas, meaning decision could come down to UConn and Duke

Uconn coaches and this years team seem like a charismatic and positive attitude group. I think we have a decent shot of recruiting anyone that comes for a visit and meets the team and coach.

As I stated before, 50-50 shot between UConn and Duke.

And like i said when it was announced he was visiting Storrs "If im Duke id be really, really worried".
“improved its standing with Flagg during his official visit and that they have made this a competitive battle to land (him).”
This would terrify me if im Duke. All we need now is for him to cancel his trip to Durham in a couple weeks.

Nike never would have let him go to an Adidas school. The NIL dollars behind this commitment will be mind-boggling.

It’s only for 10 months. Once he’s one and done and in the league he can sign with them and do ads to his heart’s content.

Great visit, family connections, closer to home, 5 recent NC’s, great staff with closers. I think Clingan had Michigan as a dream school earlier on and he bought in on UConn. Duke without their HOF coach as well. I’m feeling like we have a great shot! Wish we were the last visit so he could commit at the end of his visit
 
Just announce already, it's cool
 
Cooper's love of Duke was substantially based on the legendary Coach K, just as UConn's was based on Coach Calhoun. Without those coaches, both schools lost cache. But now, Dan Hurley has proven himself and UConn is even more attractive to recruits, and unlike JC, he's a media darling.

Scheyer was 27-9 in his first year, but like Kevin Ollie, he was coaching his predecessor's players. He seems to be a great recruiter, and may prove to be a great coach, but he may also be a bust if he can't deliver championships. Following a legend is no easy task, expectations are high. patience is short, and legendary coattails are only so long.

One other factor favoring UConn is that it's close enough to home that his childhood friends, and family, can attend games.

Well it sure would suck and wouldn’t be good for our chances if Scheyer ended up winning a championship in his second year like Ollie.

I honestly think he's got the best team right now. They'd be my #1. Still hard to win one.

Let's see what Cooper thinks of the culture when he gets to Duke and meets the players and staff, most of whom will be gone in a year. Sometimes the thing you dreamed about isn't really what you thought it would be.

I would anticipate his commitment well before April so that shouldn’t factor much.

He already visited previously so I feel like he should have a good feel for that part.

I’m honestly not sure what’s different about the officials and unofficials though outside of the whole pay your way thing.

Duke did end the year hot too so I agree with them probably being really good this year during the regular season. Unless they have a UNC type implosion.
 
The Celtics have now built a SuperTeam. Playing at UConn, he would be able to attend a lot of C's games and build relationships with the players & management there.

I agree with the sentiment of your post as a whole. However it is worth noting that 4 of Duke's top 5 scorers (and 5 of top 7) last year were freshman. They were all "Scheyer's players" since coach K's retirement was known well in advance. In that way the situation is pretty different than Ollie inheriting a team of Calhoun coached players, and only having 1 freshman contribute anything meaningful in his first year (Omar Calhoun 11ppg).
