Cooper Flagg, the consensus top player in the 2024 recruiting class, said Thursday that 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.
But Flagg indicated in a social media post that would not happen.
“All of our focus should be on supporting the victims, their families, and law enforcement — everything else can wait,” Flagg said.
Flagg and Clingan's mothers had been teammates in the 1990s at Maine and the pair put up a post on social media showing them wearing replicas of their mothers' jerseys.
