Cooper Flagg Gets Strong Message From Duke on Saturday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Cooper Flagg recently capped off one of the best freshman seasons in college basketball history with the Duke Blue Devils. Flagg committed to Duke as the No. 1 overall player in the nation and may have exceeded expectations.

Flagg also went for 30 points, six rebounds, seven assists and three blocks as Duke held off Arizona in a shootout win in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16, a performance Scheyer called “one of the best tournament performances I’ve ever coached or been a part of.”

Duke basketball superstar Cooper Flagg will be featured in a major 2025 NBA Draft promotion before beginning his pro career. Flagg, as only a true freshman, took home just about every national award he was considered for after leading the Blue Devils to ACC regular season and tournament championships before falling short in the Final Four.
