Cooper Flagg Endorses High School Phenom, Urges Duke to Take a Close Look
In a surprising and impactful move, Duke Blue Devils’ incoming star Cooper Flagg has publicly thrown his support behind a rising high school basketball talent, urging the Duke program to pay close attention. Flagg, considered one of the most talented prospects in recent years, has rarely used his influence in recruiting matters, making this endorsement all the more significant.
Flagg’s endorsement of the young phenom, whose identity is yet to be officially revealed, has generated a wave of excitement among Duke fans and college basketball insiders. Known for his elite skill set, basketball IQ, and leadership on and off the court, Flagg’s recommendation carries weight. His own journey—from high school dominance to becoming a highly coveted recruit—gives him a unique perspective on recognizing potential greatness.
Sources close to Flagg have revealed that he sees shades of his own playing style in this young prospect, particularly in the player’s versatility, defensive instincts, and competitive spirit. “He’s got the tools, the mindset, and the drive. Duke should not miss this opportunity,” Flagg reportedly told Duke’s coaching staff.
Duke’s head coach Jon Scheyer has not officially commented on Flagg’s endorsement, but insiders suggest that the Blue Devils have already begun to take a closer look at the player in question. With Flagg set to become a centerpiece of Duke’s future, his input could significantly influence the program’s recruiting decisions.
This situation is a testament to the respect and influence that Flagg has already earned within the Duke program, even before officially stepping onto the court as a Blue Devil. For the young phenom receiving Flagg’s support, this could be the start of a life-changing opportunity.
The basketball world now eagerly watches to see if Duke will act on Flagg’s recommendation, potentially landing another future star for the storied program.
