Is one sweaty SOB. I'd hate to guard him for that reason alone.
Cooper Flagg
- Thread starter FurdTurgason
- Start date
i think i am the only one in the country that thinks he is overrated.
I don’t think he’s overrated. He’s a great player. I’m sure most of the board will agree he is overrated though
Once again, Choker Flagg turns it over at end of game in Duke loss
He's definitely not overrated. I can understand being annoyed by all the publicity he gets, but he's a legit superstar at the college level.
i think he is good.......not maybe even slightly great.
just not generational talent that everyone keeps slobbering about imho
Had to chuckle at how they went back and dissected the floor mopping after he slipped and blew the game.
Really surprised the kids with the mops weren’t held accountable somehow.
He's a near elite level college player. But there's just something about him that makes me think he's not nearly the elite NBA talent people keep saying he is. I think he's going to be a fine, but nothing elite, NBA guy. He'll be drafted #1, but he's not gonna tranform a bad franchise.
Flag is the player of the year ahead of Broome IMO. Flag's biggest problem is he is playing too many minutes and at the end of close ballgames, it is costing him and his team.
The kid is a great player and a matchup nightmare but ESPN has gotten to Tebow/Zion levels of ridiculousness about him. Even Evan Miyakawa was basically blaming the loss on a wet floor, as if it was a foregone conclusion he definitely scores on that possession despite the fact he was 6-17 on the day.
It honestly pisses me off a lot that it’s 2025 and still no one’s decided to once-over everything inside the arc whenever all the action moves to the far side of the floor. How hard could it be? This happens to our guys all the time. Pretty sure I also remember it happening to James Young at the end of the Florida game and losing us the 2014 SEC tournament, which we had in the bag otherwise.
Yuk yuk yuk all you want when it’s Duke, I’ll join ya. But seriously. Mop the ****in floor.

Clemson had to play with the same conditions, so......
What has he won to be considered a superstar. ESPN's attempt to make everything he does sound superhuman doesn't make him a superstar. At this point no one truly knows what he is. A person is who he shows himself to be and not what someone labels him. Time reveals all things. Let it play out.
You are correct. Both teams played under the same conditions. There is nothing worse in sports than sore losers.
Vitale compared him at 18 to LeBron, Kobe and Magic. Later added Jordan and Bird.
The kid is good but that might be a stretch.
In the last 25 years we have had dookies be national players of the year that had NBA careers that were not very good.
Flagg is a damn good player
He’s also over used by his coach, which causes this utter exhaustion at the end of games
And while we all laugh how his age is brought up constantly, the fact remains he IS only 18 and has the emotional immaturity that comes with it
It’ll be interesting to see how he handles the NCAA tourney.

I’m failing to see what you saw last night to call him a choker. He hit big shot after big shot in the clutch. His turnover was a freak accident due to moisture on the floor, so who knows if he would have hit that final go ahead basket.
Overrated AF. The amount of pro Duke bias on that broadcast was hilarious. At one point Duke had been down for a while and still down by one and they were acting like Clemson would need a miracle to win. I guess because they didn’t have Flagg. He just doesn’t strike me as a winner. Can’t stand laettener but that guy was a true competitor.
He would get destroyed in the SEC on a weekly basis.
Unsure how anyone thinks he's overated . He's clearly a great player. Is he Larry Bird 2.0. like i hear a bunch ........ I don't know. But would be shocked if he wasn't a perennial All Star.
Also, by now everyone who follows college basketball knows how old he is; therefore, we don't need to be reminded every time his name is mentioned.
