Fland looks active on both ends. That's nice to see.
I've heard some people online talk about how Flagg really didn't have much competition in Maine and the leagues he played in. I'm not saying that's true, but their take was that he might not be quite as good as people think.
Fland very active. Knox looks better than I expected.
Like what I've seen from all of our guys. Quaintance moves well and looks like he belongs even though he's only 16. Made a few good plays on defense.
Knox looking great, Fland is active but the may have shot the ugliest 3 pointer in the history of basketball.
Cal better find a physical experienced point guard. Boogie doesn't look strong enough to finish through contact.
Knox looks like he can have an impact.

Announcers hyping up Flagg literally every sentence. Yet to score.
Don’t judge anything by this game.
Brandon Knight looked lost when he played. Way back in the day, Felipe Lopez looked like a future all NBA player. This is a scrimmage.

Can't tell much by this exhibition game.
Where is Dylan Harper going?
He has looked great. Strong, physical PG that can finish and is athletic.

I think people will be suprised and happy of the physicality the wings and front court players we are bringing in for next year have. They are very well built to be Freshman, and 16 in JQ's case.
Damn I haven't heard the name Felipe Lopez in a minute.
Rutgers
Looks to me like he's complained the most to the refs of all the players. Will fit in perfectly at Duke.
It's close enough to NYC and is generally apart of the greater NYC metropolitan area. I have to imagine there's plenty of money at Rutgers. Its got a very good business program that gets to tap into NYC, and it's filled with quite a bit of rich kids and rich alumni.
Wouldn't be surprised if there aren't a few multi-millionares kicking in.
Really liked what we saw from our guys so far.
Biggest thing I look for is their size. So often measurements are boosted. Seeing them with their peers on an ESPN broadcast gives a good barometer for that.
Knox for instance isn’t a very tall wing but has college ready strength.
Boogie has fine height but is thin. Young for his class too. Could really develop physically over 2 years in college for a potentially big sophomore season.
JQ has legit center size to me. He’ll continue to fill out too. Might be easy to think 16 and listed as a PF but that’s not what he looks like. He looks much more physical than 20 year old Center Aaron Bradshaw for instance.

I get that but the kids a great player and is going to average 18-10 next year, going to make all of us mad because of the love. lol. Really wanted him here honestly, but best of luck to all of these young men. All have put in a tremendous amount of work and deserve the hype they’ve gotten so far. Also I’m really liking Boogie leading his guys back out there. He’s a gamer.
DJ Wagner would fit that description if he comes back
Boogie has nice control of the game. Very quick and can knock it down.
More defense being played in this game than an NBA game right now
Now put these guys up against 10 of the top 30 upperclassmen transfers. That's where you will see the difference.
His ranking comes from the summer where he's playing against the other top players in the country.
DJ Wagner was co-player of this game last year. Don’t take much from it.
Queen is one I'd keep an eye on to steal from the portal in a year or two. Good hands and makes intuitive plays. He doesn't seem to be the kind of Big that is usually going to go to the NBA early - e.g., "plays below the rim." Let him mature and develop some at Maryland, and then steal him with NIL and UK name. I think UK should be keeping an eye on these type of players likely to become upperclassmen with a plan to try to steal them.
Also, Flagg played at Monteverde this past season. He hasn’t just been playing scrubs in Maine.
Cal needs to have an uncomfortable conversation with Quaintance and have him look elsewhere. We don’t need a 16-17 year old kid on the court next year. We are at 6 scholarships and need portal kids more than anything (obviously).
