Arizona basketball recruiting: Marvin Bagley III wants to reclassify to 2017, per CBS Sports

The most noteworthy news out of Nike Peach Jam last week was Marvin Bagley III and his family pursuing avenues to have the forward skip his senior year of high school and reclassify to 2017 in order to be eligible for the 2018 NBA Draft.

This was first mentioned by Jerry Meyer of 247 Sports and then CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish confirmed it on his CBS Sports Eye on College Basketball Podcast on Monday.

Parrish said the topic of Bagley’s reclassification isn’t shocking. It’s been out there “for a long, long time” and if it hadn’t been for Meyer’s original report, the news might have stayed quiet because no one had been asking about it lately.
