“I want to come back next year.” That one line from Cooper Flagg earlier this year had Duke fans buzzing. Hopes rose. Fans even tried raising money on FanDuel to keep him in college. After all, Flagg just had one of the wildest freshman seasons ever. He led Duke in all five major statistical categories. He became one of the only few freshmen to win the National Player of the Year award. But even with all that, he couldn’t take them all the way. Duke fell just two wins short of the title. So naturally, some thought– maybe, just maybe, the Maine Event would run it back. But those hopes have now been crushed!

The Duke Men’s Basketball social media team has delivered the news the basketball world was waiting for. Cooper Flagg is officially headed to the NBA. The projected number 1 overall pick is declaring for the draft, bringing his Duke chapter to a close after just one unforgettable season.

League next. Duke forever.
