Cooper Flagg popped up on the radar a couple of months ago as a very promising high school sophomore in Maine, who said Duke was his dream school which was cool but certainly no sort of guarantee, particularly with a coaching change.
Still very nice to hear.
He looked very promising but he hadn’t quite made the sale to everyone. Well, FIBA U17 took care of that.
We only saw clips but he was clearly brilliant. It was a real statement.
Suffice it to say that he’s blown up now, as they say, and has become a sensation.
