BREAKING: Duke Star Has Done It Again! Cooper Flagg’s Commitment Still Lies with Duke — “My Heart Bleeds Blue,” He Says! YOU WON’T BELIEVE THE RISING STAR COOPER FLAGG JUST CONVINCED TO JOIN…
In a world where college basketball commitments flip faster than a fast break, one thing remains certain — Cooper Flagg’s heart still beats strong for the Duke Blue Devils. The freshman phenom and projected No. 1 NBA draft pick has reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to Duke University, shutting down any swirling rumors about a potential transfer or early exit. “My heart bleeds blue,” Flagg told reporters in a passionate statement. “From the moment I stepped into Cameron Indoor, I knew this was home.”
But Flagg didn’t stop there. The 6’9″ forward who has captivated fans with his versatile play and relentless energy is now using his rising stardom for more than just headlines — he’s becoming a recruiter.
Sources confirmed late Wednesday that Flagg played a major role in convincing another rising star to commit to Duke: Ifeanyi Ufochukwu, the 6’11” five-star center out of California. Ufochukwu, known for his rim protection and elite athleticism, had narrowed his choices down to several blue-blood programs, including Kentucky and Kansas. But after a weekend visit to Durham and a heart-to-heart with Flagg, his mind was made up.
“Talking to Coop was different,” Ufochukwu said in his commitment announcement. “He wasn’t just talking about basketball — he talked about brotherhood, about legacy, about building something special. That hit different.”
Flagg, who’s quickly becoming the face of Duke’s new era, saw something in Ufochukwu that reminded him of himself. “Ifeanyi’s got that fire,” Flagg said. “He’s a game-changer on both ends, and he’s the kind of player who makes everyone around him better. I told him — if you want to be great and do it with family, Duke is the place.”
The commitment of Ufochukwu sends a clear message to the college basketball world: Duke isn’t just a powerhouse — it’s building a dynasty. With Flagg leading the way and now pulling elite talent alongside him, the Blue Devils look poised to reclaim their throne atop the NCAA.
Head coach Jon Scheyer praised both players after the news broke. “Cooper is not only a once-in-a-generation talent but a leader beyond his years. Having him and Ifeanyi together in Duke blue? That’s special.”
One thing’s for sure: Cooper Flagg isn’t done making headlines — and now, neither is Ifeanyi Ufochukwu. Duke fans, buckle up. The Blue Devils are just getting started.
