The college basketball world will welcome Cooper Flagg, one of the premier high school prospects in the world, into the fold earlier than expected following the 16-year-old phenom’s decision to reclassify.
Originally one of the top recruits in the class of 2025, Flagg announced on Instagram Friday he has decided to reclassify to the class of 2024. The seismic move now positions Flagg, who’s been touted as a future first-round pick, as a potential No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft.
Listed at 6-foot-8 and 195 pounds, Flagg will now head into the fall facing added attention from scouts around the country as the highly-touted forward enters his senior season at the famed Montverde Academy in Florida.
