And Flagg didn&#8217;t disappoint, at least not early on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/Player\/Cooper-Flagg-46129443\/\">The nation&#8217;s top player<\/a>, Flagg is a five-star forward and a Duke basketball commit. In recent weeks, there has been some buzz that he might lose the No. 1 overall recruit status to Ace Bailey, a <a href=\"https:\/\/rutgerswire.usatoday.com\/\">Rutgers basketball<\/a> commit.<\/p>\n<p>The argument <a href=\"https:\/\/rutgerswire.usatoday.com\/2024\/02\/11\/is-ace-bailey-the-no-1-player-in-the-country-watch-this-latest-dunk-from-the-rutgers-basketball-commit\/\">is that Bailey&#8217;s athleticism potentially could give him a higher ceiling than Flagg<\/a>. Flagg, however, is not disappointing against Long Island Lutheran.<\/p>\n<p>Playing on national television on Friday night, Flagg has eight points, four rebounds and five assists at halftime. Oh, and one opponent he put on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this move:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">THATS DISGUSTING FROM COOPER FLAGG <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/F9R8VBxzRl\">pic.twitter.com\/F9R8VBxzRl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SSRole (@SSRole) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SSRole\/status\/1758661923401617557?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 17, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ice water in his veins.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Cooper Flagg is just so smooth.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":286601,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368375"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=368375"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368375\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":368377,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368375\/revisions\/368377"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/286601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=368375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=368375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=368375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
