The nation’s top high school boys basketball recruit Cooper Flagg was playing at full intensity in the semifinal round of the prestigious Chipotle Nationals tournament on Friday, facing off against top-5 team Columbus, also from Florida. On Columbus is one of the top players in the class of 2025, Cameron Boozer, who at one point battled for the top spot in the 2025 rankings — with Boozer leading for an extended period.
Time has passed; Flagg has reclassified to the class of 2024, and has since sat atop the group of upcoming graduates. But in this game on Friday, it appeared there may still be some rivalry, which Flagg gave evidence to as he put on some light dramatics after throwing down a dunk.
