Prep star Flagg shifts focus to home state Maine after mass shooting, says college decision can wait

By The Associated Press

Cooper Flagg, the consensus top player in the 2024 recruiting class, says his focus is on the tragedy of a mass shooting in his home state of Maine, an indication that an announcement on where he will play college basketball could be delayed. The 6-foot-9 small forward has been deciding between Duke and defending national champion UConn. There were reports he would announce his decision Thursday. But Flagg indicated in a social media post that would not happen. At least 18 people were killed and 13 injured Wednesday night when a man opened fire at a restaurant and a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine.
