Ahead Of 2024 Duke Recruit Cooper Flagg Attending Countdown To Craziness Friday Shelden Williams, Stephen Wiseman Are Talking About Him On Season 3 Episode 2 Of Bleav In Duke Podcast
Who is Cooper Flagg?
Cooper Flagg is the Duke recruit who is class of 2024 who is going to be in attendance tonight at Countdown To Craziness inside Cameron Indoor Stadium!
Cooper Flagg is a power forward who currently attends Montverde Academy where current freshman Duke forward Sean Stewart also went to high school.
Cooper Flagg is an elite two-way prospect. His instincts are off the charts on both ends of the floor and he competes with a quiet type of killer instinct. He's a defensive standout and particularly dominant as an off-ball defender. In fact, he's as good of an underclassman shot-blocker as I've seen at his size. Offensively, he's an excellent passer with a good foundation of early skill and developing playmaking ability. His footwork is excellent. His shooting and handling both good and continuously improving. He doesn't necessarily need to be the focal point on that end of the floor, but he's shown he's plenty capable of it. Physically, frame's Flagg is solid enough to absorb contact now and will only add additional muscle mass in the coming years.

I am excited about seeing an actual practice . Seeing how coach Scheyer operates during an actual practice and stuff and kind of get a feel for that , see the campus more and getting to hangout with the players about making his decision about where he is going to play collegiately. I think I am just going to take my time and think about it about the next step following Duke . Continue to just think about it and make a decision when I feel ready. I don’t really have a time frame yet.
