So ...... Marvin Bagley ????? I understand there is some drama involving his dad and the school hopping to get him more exposure and now he can't play as a sophomore

Here on the East Coast we don't get much info, so hoping some of the locals could clear things up. I know he's a Sun Devil Legacy and a monster talent. What are Arizonas chances ??? Is there a lot of baggage there ? Does the bad blood w the state high schools hurt the chances for the in-state colleges? Is there a reason it is assumed his buddy and presumed teammate at one time Ayton seems to have zero interest in us as well?? Help a brother out !

I realize both these kids stories will take many twists and turns before they sign somewhere ..... Assuming Maker doesn't win his case and make it possible to go straight out of HS again to the pros (the rule should be like baseball .... Either go out of high school or stay in college minimum of 2 years )

Let's not act like Arizona is ever really up against ASU for elite recruits. Bagley is so far from deciding that it doesn't matter, but Kentucky and Duke are thought to lead, while Arizona is in good position as well. Personally, I wouldn't touch that toxic recruitment even in a hazmat suit. I'd just hope he ends up at ASU or Missippi State or whatever for a year and showcases.

The thought on Ayton is that he's not going to college. Europe or China or maybe the NBA will change the 1-and-done rule.

Don't think he has the grades at this juncture. Also he's going to a school that Bagley pulled out of because it hasn't been given NCAA accreditation.

Never too early to wonder which 2018 freshman is going to be drafted higest in 2019. Freshman focus!

Oh it's definitely good . . . but time will tell if it actually turns out bad.

As much as anyone, but another article I read made it seem real doubtful he would (or could) attend college.

Talks about being a package deal to UCLA or Arizona with Shareef O'Neal, but Arizona isn't recruiting him yet. :|

Sounds like Sean is trying to be very patient to see the progression with the players in that class with everyone not named Bagley. Hopefully it doesn't backfire

We haven't gotten a high level recruit to commit early for a while. Think Leaf was the last one. These guys won't decide until Spring of their senior year, maybe even Summer.
