Cooper Flagg's twin brother Ace Flagg commits to Maine
Both Cooper Flagg and Ace Flagg developed their basketball skills at Nokomis Regional High School in Newport, Maine. Alongside their older brother Hunter, they helped the school win the Maine Class B state championship at Cross Insurance Arena.
After their title-winning season, the Flagg family moved to Florida, where Cooper and Ace enrolled at Montverde Academy to continue their high school basketball careers.
Initially, both brothers were part of the 2025 college recruiting class, but Cooper reclassified to 2024 last year, becoming the projected No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft before committing to Duke. Meanwhile, Ace transferred to Greensboro Day School in North Carolina for his senior year.
A three-star prospect, Ace announced his verbal commitment to play for Maine beginning in the 2025-26 season. ESPN first reported the news in October.
If things go well in college, both Cooper and Ace could one day find themselves part of NBA rosters. For now, the brothers remain focused on making the most of their amateur basketball journeys.
