Trentyn Flowers Decommits From Louisville, Signs With Adelaide

Aug 14, 2023 5:59 PM

Trentyn Flowers has decommitted from Louisville and will sign with the Adelaide 36ers of the National Basketball League in Australia.

Flowers is ESPN's No. 18 prospect in the incoming class of 2023. Flowers was originally in the class of 2024, but decided to graduate early to enroll at Louisville this summer. Flowers had been practicing with the team since June.

"This was the toughest decision I've ever made," Flowers said. "Louisville was my dream college. But I feel like signing in the NBL gives me the best chance to lock in and develop my game. I'm going over there to play point guard, to learn how to run a team, and be a player like LaMelo Ball or Josh Giddey. Adelaide is a place for me to lock in and focus on my game."

Cooper Flagg has reclassified from 2025 to the incoming college class of 2024, which makes him the new favorite to be picked No. 1 in the 2025 NBA draft.

Flagg entered the summer ranked No. 2 in the ESPN 60 for 2025, but dominated throughout June and July and is now widely considered the top prospect regardless of class.

Duke has been considered the favorite to sign Falgg, but UConn, Kansas and Kentucky are also involved. 

Flagg will turn 18 in late December of his freshman year of college.
