Prospect – Initially slated to enter college in 2025, Cooper Flagg joins the 2024 draft year a year early, and becomes the new top pick in the 2025 Draft.
It is certainly a small bomb in the “high school” sphere and by extension NCAA: Cooper Flaggfairly unanimously considered the best high school student in the United States and more broadly the best “prospect” now that Victor Wembanyama is an NBA player, will join the university boards with a lead.
Initially, the young winger from Maine was a member of the 2025 age class, the one that will therefore enter university in two years, of which he was ranked 2nd among the best players, behind Cameron Boozer. By deciding to “skip a class”, he is now integrated, a year ahead, into the age class of 2024, which promises to be much less dense than that of 2025. Undeniably, Cooper Flagg is therefore the new best player of this class of 2024, and therefore the very early favorite to the first choice of the 2025 Draft.
Waiting for Duke
But why this decision? Quite simply because the teenager has nothing left to prove in high school, and therefore has every interest in joining the NCAA as soon as possible, within an age group less dense than that of 2025. Elliot Cadeau, the future North Carolina point guard, had recently made a similar decision.
To date, the leader in the race to recruit prodigy Cooper Flagg is Duke. The 16-year-old was also visiting the Blue Devils campus a short time ago, and could soon officially commit.
