I have been watching Cooper Flagg on the internet for the last couple of years. He is so good, He reminds me of Kevin Durant more than any other star, but he is own thing. This week he signed with Duke for his one year. I am already sick of the hype, which I realize has not started. But it will.

Good chance we will see him at Haas next year.

Never even thought about that. This ACC thing is confusing. Hope he visits during his one year.

He spent a year of high school near to where I live. The hype reminded me of Jason Kidd when I was living in Alameda. And Lebron when I was in Akron.

It must be you, then. Are you putting something in the water where you live?

When I say the hype has not started, I mean the national, everyone knows who is, being referred to by his first name on Sportscenter hype. I think he is the most hyped high school basketball player on youtube, which is something.

Ha! As much as people hyped Kidd saying he could play for the Warriors when he was a freshman at St. Joseph's, the hype for James was off the charts in Ohio.
