By ADAM ZAGORIA

Cooper Flagg, the No. 1 high school prospect in the Class of 2024, is closing in on a college decision and is expected to decide “very quickly” after visiting Duke later this month.

The 6-foot-8 Flagg visited UConn the weekend of Sept. 22 and is slated to visit Duke for their “Countdown to Craziness” the weekend of Oct. 20. He canceled a scheduled visit to Kansas for this coming weekend following the UConn visit.

The NCAA early signing period runs Nov. 8-15

“Unless he’s unbelievably confused, I’m pretty sure he’s going to make a decision very quickly after he visits Duke,” Kelly Flagg, Cooper’s mother, told The Messenger. “That way, he can put it behind him and focus on what he needs to do to get better.”
