Cooper Flagg, widely regarded as one of the top prospects in high school basketball, made a significant announcement on his Instagram account. He has decided to reclassify and join the 2024 high school class. Flagg, a 6-foot-8 forward from Newport, Maine, was originally a top-three player in the 2025 recruiting class. However, his exceptional performance in the 16-under division of Nike’s EYBL circuit caught everyone’s attention.
During an EYBL game in April, Flagg became the first player to score 50-plus points. Since then, NBA scouts have closely followed his progress. Flagg’s impressive summer included participating in various prestigious basketball camps such as the NBPA Top 100 Camp, Jayson Tatum’s Jordan Brand camp, and Stephen Curry’s SC Select camp. Currently, he is attending the Nike Skills Academy in Oregon.
Recently, Flagg visited Duke, and it seems that the Blue Devils are the favorites to secure his commitment. Other notable programs vying for his talents are UConn, Kansas, Michigan, Texas, UCLA, Villanova, and West Virginia.
Notably, Flagg’s twin brother, Ace, also had a breakout summer, garnering attention from college recruiters. Cooper expressed the joy of playing alongside his brother, emphasizing their deep connection on the court. Their competitiveness against each other while growing up has propelled them to become better players.
Flagg’s exceptional skills have made him a top prospect, with scouts already placing him at the top of the 2025 NBA Draft class. As he turns 16 years old on December 21, he will meet the NBA Draft’s age requirements and won’t necessarily have to play two years in college. With his rim protection abilities and improved three-point shooting, Flagg has established himself as the best in high school basketball, regardless of class.
For his senior season, Flagg will join the star-studded Montverde Academy team alongside other top players from the 2024 high school class. This includes Asa Newell, Liam McNeeley, Derik Queen, Baylor commit Rob Wright III, and Curtis Givens III.
It’s clear that Cooper Flagg’s reclassification has made waves in the basketball world, and we can expect great things from him in the future.
