Someone with 371 followers on X? Probably not true….

He's a Duke guy, it might be true

They’ve played together on Team USA and AAU. I like this idea very much.

Not happening and would be a terrible decision regardless. He’d be starting college at 17yo. Not a good idea if you view

Flagg was 17 when he started this season for Duke.

And he’s no longer consensus #1 pick. Still a generational talent though so the gamble might be worth it for him

If he's not the #1 pick, he's not a generational talent.

Good point. Let me amend. If people are going to label someone a "generational

That would not hurt his NBA stock if he’s actually good

NBA teams (and MLB teams) do consider how old a kid is when they draft them.

I’ve never seen that stop someone from being drafted

He is a fantastic player. Physically strong for his age.

So he'll have to stay for two years then?

There's been talk all over the interwebs of Stokes reclassifying to 2025 since August.

I know it can change, but BYU has extended 9 offers for 2026 and he isn't one.

A lot has changed.

12/11/24 10:13am

I'd just be a little more encouraged if we actually offer.

I'm glad we got AJ. I still dislike reading things like "if financials are good"

He's only rated a 0.9998?

I thought Stokes was a Houston commit? Would like this.

RenoCoug

12/11/24 10:56am

Duke, but he hasn't committed, think of this as an inverse Jabari Parker

Doubt this is happening, but I’ve been following this guy for a couple years now

Why do we think BYU is an option?
