In August, Flagg announced he was reclassifying from the 2025 class to 2024 and planned to enter college next fall. He will turn 18 in December of his freshman year, making him eligible for the 2025 NBA draft.

Flagg joins a Duke recruiting class that already features three top-60 prospects in five-star forward Isaiah Evans, five-star forward Kon Knueppel, and four-star forward Darren Harris. Flagg averaged 26.8 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 5.2 blocks, and shot 37.4% from 3-point range in 22 games with Maine United last spring and summer.

The Blue Devils aren’t done as they are also in contention to land five-star guard Dylan Harper, five-star forward VJ Edgecombe, and four-star center Patrick Ngongba ll as the early signing period nears.
