Marvin Bagley III: 2017's New Shooting Star
Aug 18, 2017
After weeks of rumors and official visits on both coasts, Marvin Bagley III confirmed on Monday night that he will attend Duke University and reclassify to the class of 2017. Bagley III, the 2018 Flo40 No. 1 prospect and a true star among the class, fielded offers from hometown programs such as USC and UCLA before ultimately landing on Duke Blue Planet.
Bagley's final year in high school basketball was sensational. From his battle with 2017 No. 1 Michael Porter Jr. at the Les Schwab Invitational to handing No. 1 La Lumiere School (IN) its only loss of the season, there was no doubt Bagley was playing far above his age.
Since then, he's only put fuel in that fire, leading the Nike Phamily at Nike Peach Jam and dominating NBA players in the Los Angeles-based Drew League.
