[Orangezoo]

Maliq just posted an Instagram story on his Duke visit wearing a Duke uniform and all the blue gear.

Duck fuke

Rumor has it they want him for the 4 and they will move Flagg to the 3. They really don't want to start three frosh up front.

Oh wow didn’t think he could start there

 

[OrangeCrush22]

The loss of Brown is the biggest indictment on Autry so far. Needs to make the tourney next year

?? Brown wasn't going to start? How is that an indictment? He wants to start. Just one of those things.

 

[rrlbees]

Might be the best defensive frontcourt in the country. 7’2” 250 lb Maluach, who might be a high draft pick in next year’s draft, playing between Flagg and Maliq. Flagg is known for his defense. We know about Browns defense.

If Maliq is leaving because he wants to start and he’s going to be a starter at Duke…. Donnie and Bell better be incredible.

 

[Cusefan69]

Again we should see what the team looks like come October. Lots can happen still. Offseason is still in progress.

Lol he’s not a Duke calibre starting big. Hope he proves me wrong but this is a substantial gamble.

They started Mark Mitchell at the 4 this year. Maliq was the better player.

Only an indictment if Freeman isn't an All ACC level defender or makes up with his offensive game.

I find it funny Duke is willing to play Flagg at the 3, but we weren’t with Freeman. Bell better put up huge numbers this year. I don’t understand why he’s the one guy so untouchable.

Could be insane. Would if they try Evans as a SG at 6'6?

Yes, he is.

He’s 100% a Duke level starting 4, now if by big you mean 5 then yeah .

 

[Guy Fawkes]

He’s going to be Amile Jefferson. I’d take it as a compliment because I always thought he would have been a perfect fit in Cuse teams.

 

[FloridaCuse]

Would be very embarrassing for the Syracuse basketball program.

Uhm, I mean, might have a bit to do with Flagg.

Am I on Syracuse.com? Lots of kvetching going on for an offseason still going and a coach who just finished year 1 after our HOF coach stayed around 6 years to long. Oh and he has the schools first 5 star coming in how many years?
Also it’s not like Red showed Brown the door. One board insider said he was definitely coming back when suddenly he went portal. So for all the bitchin about Red, I am surprised no one is complaining about Brown taking the bag. Because that is most likely how this went down. His recruiter leaves, his best friend from childhood is shown the door and he likely finds out coaches will throw him a big ass bag. People acting like Red told Brown to walk. Usually the simplest answer is the right answer and Brown found out teams will pay him AND his friend and coach he trusted left. Why wouldn’t he go? That said let’s not act like Carmello hit the portal on us here.

No AA probably didn't ask him to or probably want him to leave but did he want him to stay? Did he give him any reason to stay other than to be a bench player? Regardless of any "bag" available elsewhere maybe the just wanted more minutes. I agree with you re the possible effect of JT & GMac leaving. It didn't help.

Wanted more minutes? He played 30 minutes a game…. I highly doubt he surpasses that by more than like minute at Duke.

I have long thought that if we had picked up Brown from the portal, we would be rejoicing.

More minutes than he thought he'd get next year at Syracuse. And not at the 5.

I think Flagg is great but that will be a horrible shooting frontcourt.
