Cooper Flagg Shows His True Character With College GPA
03/30/2025 04:31 PM
Cooper Flagg is the best player in college basketball and the likely No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft later this summer.
Duke is off to the Final Four, following Saturday night's blowout win over No. 2 seed Alabama. The No. 1-seeded Blue Devils topped the two-seeded Crimson Tide in blowout fashion, winning 85-65, in Newark, New Jersey. Flagg and the Blue Devils are now just two wins away from a national championship.
It would be easy for someone in Flagg's position to just be thinking about basketball right now. Flagg is almost definitely going to be declaring for the NBA Draft. Even if he is a complete bust - he won't be - he should be set financially for the rest of his life.
Still, Flagg doesn't just care about basketball. He's been trying hard in the classroom, too. And his college GPA shows that.
Flagg, a five-star recruit out of Maine who enrolled at Duke early - he's two years younger than fellow fabulous freshman Derik Queen, for example - reportedly has an incredibly impressive college GPA at the prestigious Duke University.
The standout forward reportedly has a 4.0 GPA at Duke.
"I asked Cooper Flagg whether the questionable calls influenced his play and about the impact of being without Maliq Brown," one reporter shared.
"On the court. Off the court. 4.0 GPA. Mature, humble answers to every question anyone ever asks. The way this teen just wins at life doesn't even seem real."

College hoops fans are very impressed.
"Such an impressive young man!" one fan wrote.
"For the first time I really am dying for a cooper Flagg jersey this kid is so humble man 4.0/4.0 GPA holder and projected number 1 pick for the 2025 nba draft and the best u19 player in the world," one fan added.
Flagg's coach, Jon Scheyer, has been incredibly impressed by Flagg's showing at Duke.
The Duke freshman had 30 points, seven assists, six rebounds, three blocks, and one steal in the win over Arizona in the Sweet 16. Scheyer called it one of the best NCAA Tournament performances of all-time.
"It sure looks that way to me, that he enjoys it," Scheyer said. "That was one of the best tournament performances I've ever coached or been a part of."
Flagg's college career is wrapping up, but he has at least one - and hopefully for Duke, two more - games to play.
