Danny Ferry OK with top recruit Marvin Bagley III wearing No. 35 at Duke

Duke legend Danny Ferry's No. 35 has been retired by the school, but Ferry says he's fine with highly-touted incoming freshman Marvin Bagley III donning a jersey with his old number this season.

"I'm very proud my jersey will still be hanging in Cameron, but I'm most attached to what is best for Duke and the basketball program.
