In a move that’s got college basketball buzzing, Ace Flagg, the twin brother of Duke’s Cooper Flagg, has announced his commitment to the University of Maine. This decision highlights the different paths the twin brothers are taking, despite both being incredibly talented basketball players.
Cooper Flagg is a standout player for Duke University, making waves in college basketball with his impressive skills and versatility on the court. The 6’8″ shooting guard/small forward has been ranked as one of the top recruits in the 2024 class and recently declared for the 2025 NBA draft, where he’s projected to be the first overall pick by the Dallas Mavericks.
Ace Flagg, a 6’9″ forward, has carved out his own path as a gifted basketball player. Despite being the twin brother of a basketball phenom, Ace has garnered attention for his strong all-around game and has chosen to “come home” to the University of Maine, a nod to his family’s roots and his mother’s alma mater.
The Flagg brothers’ journey is a testament to their family’s dedication to basketball. Their mother, Kelly, played college basketball at the University of Maine, while their father, Ralph, played NJCAA basketball at Eastern Maine Community College. The brothers have an older sibling, Hunter, who’s currently studying sports at the University of Maine.
