Then on Thursday afternoon, Flagg posted his most otherworldly box score of the week. Perhaps he was saving his best performance for the first time that college suitors were allowed inside the Riverview Activities Center.
With second-year Blue Devil head coach Jon Scheyer near halfcourt along with assistants Chris Carrawell and Jai Lucas, the 6-foot-8, 200-pound five-star hybrid forward displayed his magic in every facet of the game.
Yes, the 16-year-old phenom, a Maine native and lifelong Duke basketball enthusiast who attends Blue Devil-friendly Montverde Academy (Fla.), legitimately flirted with a quadruple-double. He totaled 38 points, 16 rebounds, 12 blocks, and six assists, playing all 32 minutes in a 71-68 win over ProSkills.
The NBA's official Twitter account was one of many that took notice:
And he did so efficiently, shooting 14-for-24 from the field and 10-for-12 at the charity stripe while committing only two turnovers and one foul. Moreover, this time, the shot-blocking extraordinaire decided to come up clutch on the defensive end of the floor.
Cooper Flagg already supplanted Cameron Boozer, the son of 2001 Blue Devil national champ Carlos Boozer and twin brother to five-star 2025 combo guard Cayden Boozer, atop two of the four brand-name recruiting sites' 2025 rankings.
Assuming his dominance continues the rest of the week (Maine United is 3-0 entering its bout against PSA Cardinals at noon ET Friday), chances are he overtakes Boozer at No. 1 on the 247Sports 2025 Composite in the coming weeks.
Although no 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions exist for Cooper Flagg yet, the two picks entered into the Rivals FutureCast see Scheyer and his Blue Devils coming out on top.
