Cooper Flagg, the top prospect in high school basketball and the favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft, announced his commitment to Duke on Monday.

Flagg chose the Blue Devils over UConn.

Duke was seen as the overwhelming favorite since the early days of Flagg's recruitment. Coach Jon Scheyer made his presence felt at Flagg's games, even when Flagg was playing on the 15U Nike EYBL circuit, and continued to be a staple at his games last spring.
