Cooper Flagg gives Duke freshmen a huge piece of advice

Cooper Flagg’s days on campus are more likely coming to an end. He has yet to declare for the 2025 NBA Draft, but it seems like it’s just a formality at this point in the process.

Even if he does return, the Blue Devils will also welcome four new recruits next season. As such, he wants to make sure that they get started on the right foot as they enter this new chapter.

With that in mind, he went out of his way during a recent interview with FOX Sports to wish this new generation of Duke freshmen well and share some wisdom with them.

“I would say, just don’t be shy. Reach out to anybody on the current team and start building connections as early as you can. The earlier you can connect with the team and the coaches and really start making those relationships, it is really important in helping you buy in and understand the program,” said Flagg.

The Boozer twins, Carlos Boozer’s sons, will headline this recruit class for Jon Scheyer’s team. Being the son of a Duke great and former NBA player, they may have heard plenty of advice about life in college.
