Flagler earned Big South Freshman of the Year honors and was a five-time Big South Freshman of the Week, a conference record.[5] After the offseason departure of head coach Dustin Kerns, he transferred to Baylor and sat out for one year due to transfer rules. During his redshirt year, Flagler improved his all-around game by practicing against Jared Butler, Davion Mitchell and MaCio Teague.
