Nah

The guy wants to go to the highest bidder. $2MM or greater. HOB

Hmm

What are your thoughts @UKortho ?

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Jones said early on the show today that he had heard some promising things in Nate? I had to turn off. Did he say anything after that about the recruitment? Any updates? Anyone hear?

Yeah, only thing I heard was a nose whistle

 

[NociHTTP]

He had a birdseye view of Brea’s last 3 that put a dagger in Tennessee. Also Almanor’s (2) and Perry’s (1)

Duke.

 

[SkyPrince1]

Duke.

He may go there because that's where he wants to be but they won't be the high bidder.
The longer it goes the more likely it's Duke.
He could wait to get a look at the pro decisions on the Duke roster.
Evans decision likely to have the biggest impact.

I swear, that hair isn’t it. I definitely wanna land some top 5 guys so Pope has that card to play in the future but I am not that worried. We either get him or have all that cash for the portal.

Nope, never said another word about it smh. I tried getting the text line with that question but it was never answered. Was really curious what he was hearing.

Pope going out of his way before flying separate to Texas for tomorrow nights game.

Feels like a big time gesture.

He has to think he has a shot if he’s doing that.

Trilly says it’s only about the NIL money with Ament. We should find out soon enough who the winner is.

This board definitely don’t like hearing that lol

I don’t get why guys who should go high in the draft would take this approach .

It makes sense for a guy that doesn’t have a future in the NBA

He's a twig, wanting trunk money.

I also hate it for the kid when the reporting is so heavy towards the point. Even if he goes elsewhere.

Reminds me of the Kirk Cousins quote last offseason(I’m a Vikings fan). “It’s not about the dollars but it is about what the dollars represent”.

Here is some food for thought. There has been a lot of social media post about a recent interview with the Atlantic where Cooper flag indicated his desire to return to Duke next year.

Now the chances of that are very slim to practically none (but I put nothing past this new NIL world, where a 1year NIL deal could match or better a 3 year rookie contract) but one would think that the rumor alone could cause Even more hesitation from Nate to choose Duke, not knowing if Flag and Boozer are going to be the first two options.

NIL won't touch Flagg's rookie contract.
Duke IMO won't pay Ament more than Boozer.
Evans is the one to keep an eye on.
Evans won't return to play behind Ament.
He'll either go pro along with Kon which would leave the three spot wide open for Ament or he returns and Ament goes elsewhere or Anent comes and Evans hits the portal.

If Trilly knows it then Pope should know it(if true).

All very accurate scenarios in my opinion.

Cooper is just trying to solicit more "love" from the Duke fanbase, get their hopes up and watch them BEG him to come back, and then piss their collective panties when he gets drafted. Anymore, whenever a kid good enough for the pros suggests he wants to come back, I just think "cool story". Didn't Reed suggest he could come back?
