On the final morning of Cooper Flagg's official visit to Duke, Coach Jon Scheyer made a point to spend quality time with the nation's top recruit, engaging in golf to strengthen their relationship. Flagg, who's viewed as a future NBA star, enjoyed golf as a reprieve from basketball pressures. After a successful bonding session, Flagg surprised everyone, including his family and Scheyer, by announcing his commitment to Duke over breakfast, prompting emotional reactions and signaling a significant moment for both the player and the program as they look ahead to the Final Four.
I cried, Scheyer told The Athletic, thinking back on the morning that changed the trajectory of his program. I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Scheyer secretly hoped that Flagg might tip his hand. Instead, the teenager kept quiet.
