Five-star prospect Cooper Flagg, the consensus top-ranked recruit in the class of 2024, reportedly has his first three official college visits planned for this fall.
Flagg announced this month he planned to reclassify from 2025 to 2024 after a productive summer of performances in competitions across the country. The reclassification was expected given rumors of the potential move emerged months ago.
The 6-foot-8 forward from the Montverde Academy has apparently identified his first visits after his reclassification. His mother, Kelly, told Travis Branham of 247Sports that he has visits to Duke, Kansas and UConn scheduled.

Flagg is expected to be a highly recruited one-and-done college prospect. He recently took an unofficial visit to Duke and will take his official trip to Durham this fall. He has also been offered by Michigan, Texas, UCF and Villanova among other programs.
He was the Maine Gatorade Player of the Year while playing for Nokomis Regional High School prior to arriving at the Montverde Academy. He is highly touted for his defensive ability and has an evolving offensive game that will translate well to the next level.
Flagg will meet the cutoff date to be draft-eligible in 2025; he turns 18 in December 2024. He will likely be projected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 draft ahead of Ace Bailey, Dylan Harper, Tre Johnson and Dink Pate among others.
