North Augusta, S.C. – Cooper Flagg is cool with letting you form your own opinion.
He’s not rushing to his phone at night after a slate full of games at the Nike Peach Jam scouring social media to make sure his dominant performances were well-received, and he’s certainly not concerned with whether his peers in the 2025 class are on his heels in the recruiting rankings.
Cooper is widely regarded as the top rising sophomore in the country, an appointment he doesn’t shy away from, but not for the reasons you may think.
“I use it as motivation,” Flagg says.
