SignUp Now!Flagg is a highly skilled, tough and versatile forward with an immense impact on the game on both ends of the floor. He possesses great size, length and is an impressive athlete. Flag has a unique ability to dominate a game with his abilities to pour in jumpers, attack the rim, create for his teammates, snag boards and block shots.
His blocks and offense will be what you see on the highlight reels, but you won't see just how impactful of a defender he truly is with his ability to switch one-through-five and wreak havoc off-the-ball by knowing exactly where he should be at exactly the right time.
To put it into perspective, while playing with his Maine United AAU program this summer, Flagg posted an astounding 25.4 points, 13.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 6.9 blocks a game while shooting 46.2% from the field, 34.4% from three. In seven games at Nike Peach Jam, Flagg tallied three triple-doubles through the points, rebounds and blocks columns.
The recruiting machine we built over the last decade is insane.
Duke might still be immune if we still have a lot of NBA players in the league by then.The recruiting machine we built over the last decade is insane.
Yeah if it ever was going to come crashing down, it was during the coaching transition. Hard to argue we didn’t end up with the best possible outcome for its preservation in Scheyer. I don’t see Amaker being able to maintain this pipeline.
With Scheyer I think we have a good ten years at minimum before we have to start to worry about erosion from other conferences pulling away too far
UCONN has zero cachet. They can win another title this decade and will still have none. Nobody has even considered them for P5 membership. It’s honestly funny how little national relevance they have for a school with 5 rings.
The only schools that challenged us branding-wise were UNC in the 2005-2012 era when Roy was at his peak and the Jordan effect was still on its last legs, and Kentucky under Calipari until K completely stole his thunder in 2015. Even Kansas, a tradition rich blue blood with tons of recent success too, doesn’t really move the needle outside B12 country. Nobody is even close to us nowadays, and with this sport dying a little more every year, I can’t see anyone catching up at this point.
