Minutes after Wojnarowski broke the news, the New Balance social media team posted the following debut commercial titled "Cooper Flagg, The Intelligent Choice":"The connection with New Balance as a family company and a company with Maine roots means a lot to me," the 17-year-old Flagg, a projected one-and-done top lottery pick who must wear shoes from program sponsor Nike during Duke basketball games next season but can sport whatever brand he likes off the court, explained...
"My mom used to go to the tent sale for back-to-school shopping there when we were kids. That really aligns the brand with my roots. It's a perfect fit." Cooper Flagg and the loaded 2024-25 Duke basketball squad begin the third season of the Jon Scheyer era when none other than Maine comes to Cameron Indoor Stadium on Nov. 4.Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of Duke Blue Devils on SI, North Carolina Tar Heels on SI, and NC State Wolfpack on SI, making him a key source for comprehensive coverage of these storied college basketball programs.
