While Cooper Flagg dominates headlines as the top basketball prospect in the class of 2024, there’s one name that’s quietly been grinding behind the scenes: Ace Flagg, Cooper’s lesser-known twin brother. That’s right-Cooper has a twin, and most people don’t even realize it.
But don’t expect a carbon copy. The Flaggs are not identical, and while Cooper stands taller, Ace isn’t far behind at 6’7″. So why haven’t you heard of him? The answer is part timing, part spotlight.
Cooper reclassified and headed to college a year early, to play with the Duke Bluedevils while Ace is still wrapping up high school. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been making moves of his own.
Ace and Cooper started their school careers at the same time
Ace’s basketball journey began alongside Cooper at Nokomis Regional High School in Newport, Maine, where the duo led their team to a state championship in 2022. From there, Ace transferred to Montverde Academy-a national powerhouse.
While his early stats were modest, he contributed to multiple championship teams, including the Chipotle Nationals and a Sunshine Independent Athletic Association title. His minutes and impact grew steadily with each season.
Ace got commited to Maine
Now finishing his high school career at Greensboro Day School in North Carolina, Ace has already made his next big move: he’s committed to play for the University of Maine in 2025-26, following in the footsteps of his mother, Kelly Flagg, a Hall of Famer at the school. “It’s definitely an honor to be able to represent this state,” Ace said. “There’s no better place, I think.”
Ace’s underdog path is one of persistence, growth, and a deep-rooted love for his home state. And with both brothers sharing the same development coach, Matt McKenzie, it may only be a matter of time before Ace Flagg becomes a household name too.

Měl jsem na Spartu pifku! Koubek o vítězném šlágru a možném pokračování v Plzni
Proč jste měl na Spartu pifku?Šlo o součást strategie, ale nebavilo mě to. Víc rozvádět toto nebudu. Moc si cením, že jsme Spartu v této sezoně porazili v lize i potřetí. Těchto devět bodů hraje v boji o druhé místo významnou roli.Udělali jste k němu klíčový krok?Udělali jsme krok. Nic není hotovo, ve hře je ještě o dvanáct bodů. Je však důležité, že jsme odskočili do minitrháku. Je ale pravda, že gólů jsme mohli dát víc. Musím pochválit sparťanského brankáře Vindahla, chytil tři góly.Reakce vašeho týmu na nepovedené středeční semifinále MOL Cupu na půdě Sparty nemohla být příznivější…Zápas jsme si hluboce zanalyzovali, viděl jsem ho třikrát. Udělali jsme závěry. Museli jsme se zvednout v agresivitě, v dostupování, presinku, v represinku. Tudy vedla první cesta k úspěchu. Kluci pochopili, že jiná k výhře nepovede.Vyšly vám i změny v sestavě. Hned dvě jste udělal ve stoperské trojici. Místo Jemelky s Markovičem hráli v neděli Havel a mladý Paluska.I tento tah […]

Benja indica goleiro perseguido no futebol brasileiro
Benja no comando do programa "Domingol" (Reprodução - YouTube) Benja subiu o tom contra o Corinthians pelo desempenho exibido contra o Flamengo no primeiro tempo do jogo contra o Flamengo, neste domingo (27), no Maracanã, pelo Brasileirão, e alfinetou os críticos de Matheus Donelli, goleiro que vinha sendo titular antes da volta de Hugo Souza. Na concepção do jornalista, se Donelli estivesse defendendo a meta alvinegra, certamente iriam responsabilizá-lo pelos três tentos sofridos na primeira etapa de jogo, uma vez que o arqueiro, diante da ausência de Hugo Souza, foi bastante questionado em partidas anteriores. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Hugo não teve nenhuma culpa nos gols, mas se fosse o Donelli hoje já iriam arrumar um culpado…”, disparou Benja, quando o placar estava 2 a 0, antes de Hugo Souza falhar no terceiro tento do rubro-negro, em bola recuada. “Hoje não tem […]
