I don’t know how we got to this point.

But somehow, for some reason, people keep bringing up Cooper Flagg coming back to Duke.

It makes absolutely no sense.

There’s no world where Cooper Flagg should or would come back to Duke.

I see the latest argument is the teams who will have the No.

Yeah, that’s going to change in a year?

I see people bringing up NIL.

Sure, he could make a lot of NIL money.

You know what he can’t make?

Nearly $400 million which is what he would be in line to make with his second contract.

You don’t push back that sort of wealth for a $5 million year or whatever.

Not to mention Flagg reclassified so he could get to the NBA faster.

It’s the world we live in because the NBA has the one-and-done rule.

Plus, we’re still talking about the NBA here.

Of course Duke fans will chant one more year.

He’s the favorite to win NPOY despite the fact he can’t make a winning play against Kentucky.

It’s March though, this is the one time we will talk about Cooper Flagg coming back.

It’s not happening.

Now it’s time for America to cheer against Duke in March, the greatest tradition in the world.
