Duke Blue Devils head coach Jon Scheyer has issued a powerful and inspiring message to five-star phenom Cooper Flagg, who recently reaffirmed his commitment to Duke amid skyrocketing national attention and a reported NIL valuation north of $50 million.
Flagg, widely regarded as the top prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, has drawn comparisons to NBA greats with his dominant performances and elite two-way skillset. His commitment to Duke solidifies what many analysts are calling one of the most exciting college rosters in recent memory.
“Cooper’s decision speaks volumes,” said Scheyer. “He could’ve gone anywhere—and with his value, he had options beyond traditional college paths. But he chose Duke. That says everything about his mindset, his goals, and his belief in our program.”
Flagg’s loyalty to Duke comes at a time when elite high school athletes are being lured by alternative professional routes and high-value NIL deals. Scheyer praised the young star for prioritizing growth, development, and legacy.
“He’s the kind of player that changes everything,” Scheyer added. “Cooper is not just a future pro—he’s a future leader. We’re beyond excited to welcome him to the Brotherhood.”
With Flagg in the fold, Duke is now positioned as a frontrunner for next season’s NCAA title, and expectations are soaring both on and off the court.
