Cooper Flagg revealed how Jon Scheyers Duke locker room is taking to the Blue Devils star in answering Sports Illustrateds Liam McKeone on what his transition from to his new life in college basketball: very well.
Flagg claimed that several of his veteran teammates in Durham are taking him under their wing.
Its been a big adjustment for sure, Flagg said.
As the season is starting to ramp up, having the experience of some of the older guys like Tyrese Proctor, Mason Gillis, and Sion James who have been in the college basketball world for so long has been really helpful for me for sure.
Theyve kind of taken me under their wing and given me a lot of pointers, a lot of advice.
Its just been learning from them and seeing what it takes to be prepared and to be ready, mentally and physically.
Flagg is a true Blue Devil.
As hed explain to McKeone, Flaggs family always had Duke games on in their home, leading to his favorite players being Blue Devils throughout his childhood.
Some of the first players I really remember being a big fan of was Tatum, for sure.
Thats one of the first players I was really a fan of watching college hoops.
Zion Williamson, too.
He was really exciting to watch at Duke, Flagg said.
My family was always a big fan of Duke basketball.
It was always on the TV and those were the players I liked to watch.
Cooper Flagg could become a Duke legend by leading the Blue Devils to a national championship Flagg can become the Mr.
Duke of the NIL era by leading the Blue Devils to a national championship under Scheyer.
His commitment was one of the biggest signs recruiting wouldnt fall off after Mike Krzyzewskis retirement and that Coach Ks Duke brand would persist under Scheyer after his departure.
If he can limit fouls and play defense with his feet, Flaggs ceiling is endless.
Ditto for the Blue Devils..
